User Reviews for Sterling Vineyards

My husband and I just visited Sterling last week for the first time. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. The air tram ride was fun and had great views. The self-guided tour was decent; it was nice to move at our own pace. Our tour culminated in the tasting of 5 wines in the tasting room. Service was prompt and courteous. I thoroughly enjoyed their 2005 Malvasia Bianca. I highly recommend that wine if you like sweet! We had never visited a winery before and we were afraid that it would be too frou-frou, but we fit in just fine. Definitely bring your camera! If you are going with children, which we weren't, the staff doesn't forget about them. I noticed the kids getting full-sized Capri Sun juices and coloring goodies to keep them occupied. Here's a tip: If you go to Sterling's web site, click on "Visitor Information". There, you can get a coupon that will allow you and up to 3 other adults to visit for only $10 if you go before 12:30.
Pros: Easy to find, easy parking, great service
Cons: None

Can't brag enough! If you are going to visit Napa I highly recommend this winery! They guide you threw the process of wine making. The views are to be seen! Take your camera. My boyfriend and my self became club members because we were so impressed with the wine. The people that serve you really enjoy being there. Thank you! I will visit again with friends a must share experience!
Pros: Great Location., Friendly Service., Great Wine!

After riding the gondola up the hill at Sterling Vineyards you can take a self guided tour around the premises and enjoy the great views of the surrounding vineyards. You can then try about five of their wines in their tasting area. The employees are always very friendly and the wines are great. It is well worth the admission (which is about $20 a person).
Pros: Great Wine, Nice Employees, Great View
Cons: Expensive

Sterling Vineyards is definitely one of the kind among the over-populated vineyard off 29. What really stood out is how they lure you in their winery. You have to go on the tram that will take you up to the top of a hill where the winery is situated. The tram ride cost $10 per person, however, it does come with four wine tasting. And because their winery is situated on top of a hill, wine tasters get a wonderful view of the surrounding vineyards. This is a must see when visiting the Napa valley!!
Pros: Great view

Pay the $10 to take the tram up and do the wine tasting. Although it's a little more than other tastings, the ride up has spectacular views and the self-tour is informative, and better yet, can be done at your own pace. The wine tasting is unique also- tasters sit at tables (I recommend the balcony with more great vistas) and our served the wine by the very friendly and knowledgeable employees. Overall a great and creative wine tasting experience
Pros: Vistas, Self-Tour, Service
Cons: Busy
