“We absolutely had a blast at Heitz! I've a long time fan of Heitz since the first time I had the Trailside Cab and finally decided to pay a visit. The setup was private, intimate with the beautiful view of the vineyard. Joe, the wine curator was so kind and knowledgeable about Heitz which elevated our experience. Aside from the wine, I do also recommend their charcuterie board.”
“We had the absolute best experience at Heitz with our sommelier, Jamie. He was the most knowledgeable guide I have tasted with in Napa. We enjoyed the fabulous wines and delicious food pairings while learning so much about the region and terroir. Heitz makes fantastic wine, and Jamie led a best-in-class tasting experience. 10/10 recommend!”
“We had a fantastic time. We worked with Betsy who was very knowledgeable and super nice given all of our stupid questions. We were so impressed with Heitz wines that we joined the club and bought 13 bottles for our first order. Highly recommended.”
“Ambiance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Booked about a month in advance, and the experience was absolutely worth it. A beautiful winery surrounded by vineyards, with a fully open-air courtyard. We can even walk downstairs to see the vines up close. When it came to the tasting, the server walked us through each wine with a map, explaining the vineyard location and vintage in detail. As someone who doesn’t know much about wine, I was surprised that I could actually follow along — and found it genuinely interesting. Wine ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Did the four-wine tasting. The most memorable for me were: • 2019 Trailside Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon This one felt very balanced and approachable. Smooth, not overwhelming, and easy to enjoy even without knowing much about wine.. • 2019 Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Clearly the standout. More layered and elegant,it just tastes… more refined. What really clicked for me was tasting the wines in order from lower to higher price — suddenly it made sense why the more expensive ones are considered better😁. Overall 🍷 I’m not really into crowded, hype-driven places. I know Opus One is iconic and always busy, but this winery felt much more low-key and intimate. Beautiful setting, thoughtful service, and a truly hidden gem kind of experience. I really loved it and would happily come back.”
“To the AMAZING Xia… WOW! I have been to some amazing tasting at some of the most amazing wineries but we saved Heitz for a special occasion and she made my our tasting something special and rare. She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable about wine, but she makes the experience fun, approachable, and full of personality. Her passion is contagious — she brings each bottle to life with stories, flavor notes, and genuine excitement. It’s rare to find someone who blends expertise with such warmth and charm. This was one of the best tastings we’ve ever had! Her joy and hospitality is someone special and I’m so happy we got to meet. What a joy! Thank you Xia and Heitz! We’ll be back!”
