Del Dotto Estate Winery & Caves

An unplanned excursion on a rainy Saturday took us here and what a great experience! From the checking complete with a nice beginning pour, tour of the caves and tasting directly from the barrels to the tasfy pizza and bites in the private room overlooking the entryway. The people were warm and friendly and the fellow tour group members a joy! Get yourself a friend with a winning membership and enjoy the full experience!!! Highly recommend!

This place is great (both the wine and building's architecture). The tour is more of a presentation about how it came to be, Phillip is a great public speaker. Eat before coming, the wine tasting is generous, enough to get drunk. Met a guy that said he broke his glass the first time he visited, as was close to being that person too. The other great part of it is you get pizza and tater tots at the end.

The cave experience was slightly different from the norm. The DelDotto is Venetian inspired and a skosh more romantic then run-of-the-Mill tours. We had an exceptional guide in Simon from New Zealand. The wines were fantastic of course, but the experience was worth it

Del Dotto was an unforgettable experience! Our tasting guide, Carson, made our visit exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable! We learned so much fascinating history about the area, the architecture, and the creators of the winery. We also tasted some amazing wines! We will definitely be back!

Absolutely incredible experience. Their wines are some of the best we’ve ever had and we are huge wine drinkers.
Must go! Pizza and tots afterwards too!

Del Dotto is an exquisite winery. It was lavished in elegance and class. My fiancé surprised me with a trip to Cali for my birthday. He chose Del Dotto to sample wines for our wedding. The tour included a guide competent in Del Dotto’s history, Napa’s geographical location/agriculture, and the process involved to age Del Dotto’s wine.

Throughout the tour, you’ll see the beautiful art and learn its history. While exploring the caves, the guide provides opportunities to taste the aging wine and purchase at the end! Each purchase is mailed when the wine is done undergoing fermentation. Complementary pizza and wine are provided at the end of the tour.

My fiancé and I loved the experience and look forward to coming back to become members! ¡SALUD!🥂

Very nice estate, Kristy was our sommelier. She is friendly and knowledgeable. The wines tastings were great, and the snacks were tasty. We didn’t have an appointment so we couldn’t do the cave tour and tasting, but we did the tasting at the bar. We had a great time and highly recommend this winery!

Absolutely awesome experience! The tasting room is absolutely beautiful. The cave tour and barrel tastings were among my favorite in Napa! The wine was delicious and we could not resist bringing home several bottles. The pizza was fantastic at the end of the tour. I would encourage reservations as each tour is highly customized and space is limited.

Magnificent! My favorite winery by far not only because of the beautiful artwork, the Italian design with the underground concept but because of its cave tour that offered wine straight out of the barrels! Best wine experience and tastes. We topped it of with adding a food platter at the end, well with it to top of a great tour! A MUST do!

They only use the first squeeze of the grapes to make the finest wine possible. No expense was spared in building this palace of a winery with art and marble imported from Italy. The tours are intimate with just 2 couples and led by an extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide (ours was Patrick). Poured wine with a heavy hand. 8 glasses each. Served us hot food at the end. Luxurious couches upstairs to relax when it’s over. The highlight of our trip. The tour is exceptional, the wines are exceptional, and the ambiance is exceptional. Highly recommend!

Very unique experience. You go into the cave and do the tasting where they use a wine thief to extract the wine directly from the barrel. After the tasting food was welcome as well (especially the tater tots).

Fifth wine tasting on our 4 day trip and the best so far. Our tour guide Phillip was knowledgable, fun, and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend. Ps I am leaving this review just slightly tipsy.

Jeff was our host and he was fantastic! We learned so much about wine! The wine and snacks were great. Tasting from a barrel is a must do experience. You will likely tour with a few other people unless you have at least 6 in your party. Great place!

Wow what a wonderful first stop on my (and most of the group’s) first time to Napa! We were a group 10 celebrating a birthday. Carson was our guide and he was absolutely amazing! He had such a warm and fun attitude and was so incredibly knowledgeable. He really made the educational part of it interesting but he also let us be a little silly throughout the experience. I highly recommend requesting Carson on your next visit.

The winery is so beautiful and is truly a work of art - like the Murano glass chandeliers to the marble and tiles used throughout.

The wine was fantastic and was so cool to taste from the barrels via wine thief. The food after the wine tasting was a surprise and was SO good! Amazing tater tots and pizza which included some of their house made sausage. We definitely inhaled the food with absolutely no shame.

All around amazing experience!
Thank you Carson!

I have to say... This and their other winery (Piazza del Dotto) are real ARTWORKS compared to the other wineries in the area. These are real jewels in construction, design and details. Because details make the big difference.
The wine is amazingly great (the Beast is indeed a beast of wine!), as well as the service and the staff.
I truly recommend the experience to all enthusiasts of wine, design, architecture and artwork.

This is a must visit winery for many reasons. Incredible design, experience and the wine

This has to be one of your stops if you’re visiting the Napa region for wine tasting. Del Dotto knocks it out of the park. The wines are spectacular. The caves are an ambience that can’t be reproduced, chandeliers hanging from the ceilings and rocks imported from Europe. Our host Jeff was an expert in the wines of Del Dotto. Our friends had recommended this Highly. We agree. It’s very expensive as far as a wine tasting goes. But quite frankly I left feeling like I had received more than my moneys worth. Well done Del Dotto! Well done!

This place is amazing! It was our first Napa experience with my friends and Todd was super nice and delightful! I will come back and bring my family!

Haven’t gone since Covid but used to frequent this winery, Linda Witted from Grgich Hills highly recommended it, and it doesn’t disappoint, not only are their wineries beautiful, but the wine is delicious! When you go to the estate winery you feel like you’re in the phantom of the opera play, when they pull back the curtain and you enter the cave with a beautiful line of chandeliers. We will be going back in 2024. Again the wine is so good! 😁🍷 Cheers

We just visited Napa for my 30th birthday and knew we wanted to do a wine cave with barrel tasting. We had looked into another local wine cave but decided on giving Del Dotto instead and I’m so glad we did! Doug, our tour host was very knowledgeable and really gave us the experience we were looking for, great wine with a side of wine making education. The pizza at the end was a nice and unexpected touch too.
