Brasswood Cellars

“I visited 6 wineries while in Napa. This winery offered the best overall experience for a wine tasting. If you only have one opportunity to experience a wine tasting, Brasswood Cellars IS the place. My travel guide (AKA sister-in-law) reserved a ‘Sensory Globe Experience’ wine tasting. It was absolutely amazing. All the wines I tried were delicious, especially the Cab Franc, Pinot Noir. Their Chardonnay was excellent - and I don’t really like Chardonnays. The highlight of the day was while we were eating lunch there, we had the opportunity to meet Angelina Mondavi, a wine consultant for Brasswood. I would highly recommend Brasswood Cellars for their wine and wine tastings.”

“We had a wonderful wine tasting experience at Brasswood! Our server, Josh, was knowledgeable and attentive! I like the way he describes what tannins feel like in terms of wine. We did the Taste of Napa Valley Bar Tasting, which had three pours of their current vintages. We had the 2024 Sauvignon Blanc, 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon. There are not many wineries making 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, so it was a surprise, especially since I used to enjoy the HB Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from Peju Winery. The 2018 Cab stood out with brambleberry aromas, rich notes of blackberry, green tea, and baking chocolate. Highly recommended!”

“A truly unforgettable experience! My girlfriend Janet and I had the absolute best time at Brasswood Cellars doing their “Wine + Food Experience.” From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were stepping into something special — and it totally delivered. We kicked things off with an amuse-bouche (I think that’s how you spell it? Let’s be honest, I was already distracted by the olive oil-soaked cheese, rosemary, and crusty baguette paired with a beautiful Rosé). That alone could’ve been the whole thing and I’d still give this five stars — but no, it only got better. Each course was paired perfectly with an incredible wine: • 2024 Sauvignon Blanc with whipped goat cheese and local beets — fresh, bright, and a total flavor explosion. • 2022 Pinot Noir with wild mushroom ravioli and brown butter sage (except I’m gluten-free, so the kitchen whipped up a special GF pasta version with actual truffles instead of mushrooms. Because the chef was feeling fancy. It was next level. 🔥) • 2021 Cabernet Franc with sous vide quail and huckleberry demi — unreal. • And the grand finale: 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon with seared Wagyu, macaire potato, and cabernet reduction. I mean… come on. That was straight-up indulgence. But what really made the whole experience shine was Josh Brown, our wine educator. This guy is next-level. He brought the perfect mix of deep wine knowledge, humor, and charisma. We laughed, we sang (yes, sang), and learned so much about how food and wine can elevate each other. Josh — if you’re reading this, you’re a rock star. And just when we thought it couldn’t get more special, Josh surprised us with a caramel panna cotta and gluten-free cookies to celebrate our one-month anniversary. 💕 Totally unexpected, incredibly thoughtful, and the perfect sweet ending to an already magical evening. If you’re anywhere near Napa and love great wine, phenomenal food, and an unforgettable experience — make a reservation. It’s worth every penny.”

“Delicious lunch! We went with the appetizer and dessert recommendations of the server and they did not disappoint! We also tried the seasonal pizza which had a nice kick to it. The short rib pasta was perfect. Wonderful food! Very friendly staff. Clean bathrooms.”

“Stopped in to try the bar tasting which is $20 for 3 pours. Make sure to double check the price as they don’t list the price anywhere. Tasting is fine, wines are fine. Nothing spectacular. The overall setting of the combined complex is really nice, but the bar area is dark and uninviting if it is empty.”
