Mel was AMAZING!!! This was an impulse stop while we were in Napa and it was far and away our favorite spot in Napa. We did the Cabernet tasting in the Crystal Room. She explained the whole process of wine making and gave us a sneak peek of the red room. Wish I had known of the wine makers option before we came. Totally would have done that experience! So happy we decided to stop. LOVE these Cabernets and truly the best experience we had with on our trip!!!

We had a wonderful experience and tasting in the chandelier room. Paul was our wine expert! He was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Paul made our experience here a great one! Definitely going back the wine is excellent! Thank you Paul! We love Maha & Leona too!

Paul from Raymond was a great host and took extra time to explain the wines/valley to us. Couldn't recommend him more! The Winery was unlike any others that I have experienced, with both great wines and a very unique/fantastic setting. The highlight for me was seeing the differences in the soil composition while my wife loved the "red room" - Thank you Paul for taking such good care of us!

We had as our host Paul for "cheers for 50 years". He was tremendous with his insight on the regions that produced the wines, what we were tasting, and ideas on how the red(s) paired. He had great background for the wines/winery, and history behind the valley. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough about this place, WOW!!! Out of all the wineries I’ve been to in the valley, this is the most unique of them all. The decor is very much in moulin rouge theme and has bright colors, flashy and catchy art and interesting pieces everywhere, not to mention that the wine and service was unparalleled. If you’re looking for your new favorite red wine spot to have fun and relax with your friends, this is it hands down. We were greeted by Paul who gave us a tour of the winery detailing all the history and really giving us a beautiful glimpse into the Raymond legacy. He was a fantastic host! After this, we were seated in the Crystal room (it’s so sci-fi steampunk and beautiful in the beast with the chandelier, very whimsical) and had our tasting. This is by far these were the best Cabernet Sauvignons we’ve had: full of body ans with luscious complexity. Each varietal was unique and really very good. The color on all the wines were a deep gorgeous deep ruby and the deep flavors of black currant, dark cherry and blackberry with a beautifully balanced touch of spice, cocoa and a very well balanced oak presence. Genuinely these were 10/10. Lily was our server and she was an absolute vibe, not to mention she did a wonderful job answering all our questions and making sure we had more wine. :) There was also an African American gentleman who was behind the bar that was very attentive and helpful who deserves recognition as well (I’m sorry I don’t remember his name :( ). Overall Raymond has such a singularly whimsical decor theme and along with the wine being fantastic with top notch service, I’d say it’s a real winner. We can’t wait to come back :D

We were in Napa Valley for a couple of days and visited several wineries. We did not know about the reservation requirement at wineries, until we were informed by the visitor’s center in Napa. We took a chance and just drove up to Raymond Vineyards and they welcomed us and said we could do a tasting. Lily Rust made our experience phenomenal! She answered all our questions. She was so kind and informative. Before we started the tasting, I apologized that we would have to do a quick pre check in for our flights the next day on our phones. She was able to get the tasting wrapped up in an hour, allowing us to do our check in. She let us tour areas inside of the winery. Lily and the other serve Amy were fun to talk to and we really enjoyed the tasting. We walked the beautiful grounds after our tasting. Highly recommend Raymond Vineyards!

Our group of three couples totally enjoyed the unique tour of Raymond Vineyards. Paul Cain our guide was professional, very knowledgeable and made the experience fun. We were not rushed at all and had many opportunities for picture takes with some of the unique exhibits inside the winery.

We had the absolute best experience. Ruby was a total rockstar — she handled our tasting and tour and made sure that we were well taken care of throughout the experience. We had the best time and we can’t wait to come back! Thanks Ruby!!

Raymond was our 7th winery this week, and it was well worth including. So far, every winery experience has been very different, but Raymond was the quirky one. We did the Crystal Cellars tasting, and the wine was fine (and the ‘08 cab was very good). But what made our experience was the staff. After getting a walkthrough and the history of Raymond (which was very interesting), we were taken to the Crystal Room and introduced to Lily. Lily was awesome. In addition to our wine flight, she added a Zin, and because of our anniversary, a really good champagne. But the best part - she was a lovely person, and we spent quite a bit of time talking about things other than wine. Says a lot about Raymond that they have people like Lily. She’s a delight, and we look forward to visiting again.

Our Sunday Funday at Raymond Vineyards was a blast! We wrapped up our outdoor adventures with a visit to the garden, snapping pics with the cute animals. Then, we headed inside and were greeted by the super-friendly Robert. Paul D took over, making our tour and tasting nothing less than spectacular. After seeing the map room, we got walked over to the main tasting room with music playing, and crazy mannequins to look at, after sipping some wine we ended up in the epic Red Room. Paul had convinced us to become members with his knowledge of the wine, and the overall experience. It is also cool because you get access to other wineries and tasting rooms when you get a Raymond Wine Club Membership. Paul was a champ, explaining the wines while keeping it fun. We had a great time throughout the whole experience. I gotta shout out the LVE Chardonnay—it surprised me! Left with three bottles; it's gonna be my go-to for sunny days. The vibe was chill, and the experience was top-notch. Cheers to Raymond Vineyards for an awesome time! Great Staff & service. I look forward to opening my frenchie wine soon!
