Avinodos Wines

Great tasting! Loved the Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Pinot Noir. Well worth making an appointment for a tasting. Dan was a great host. Definitely will be back for another visit!

We brought our daughter for her 21^st birthday and our anniversary trip. They treated us like royalty. Dan was very friendly and we had tastings of his wines as well as Gustavo’s. Very intimate and classy atmosphere. Loved the personal attention. Recommend the 2012 Sauvignon Blanc-​we bought several to enjoy. Thank you!

I love small winery’s and this one is one of the best IMHO.
A hidden gem in a sea of large winery
I heard about this place from a co-​worker and I tried it out with friends from the east coast. They loved the great atmosphere and we were even hosted by the the owner Dan. Dan explained to us the wine making process, gave us a small tour and took care of me and my friends like family.
In the end my friends and I bought a couple of bottles and toured the rest of the city.
I wish I could just drop by every time I’m in the area, but like every small winery, they can only accommodate so much and just dropping by is gambling that they are not busy with another guest.
I do highly recommend them, for their wine, the ambiance and the great experience.

I went for the Malbec and stayed for the wine education! Dan was very informative and answered all of our questions no matter how simple. I’ve never learned so much about wine at a tasting! The personal attention that comes from a private tasting brought this experience to the next level. I highly recommend the 2012 Sauvignon blanc and the 2013 Malbec. I cannot wait for my future release Malbec to arrive in the mail later this summer!

All we can say is Wow! The owners of this small winery were so welcoming to us, and made us feel like family by the time we left! We were able to make a tasting appointment for when we were in the San Francisco area (our first time in Ca!) it so happened to be when they were bottling their 2014 Sauvignon Blanc, and they let us help! Not only were the owners there, but their winemaker Gustavo Brambila as well.
It was an amazing experience, and the wine is really quite good! We recommend this small family winery to really get a feel of Napa, it’s wines and it’s true commitment to friends and family.

I took a 2 day trip to Napa/​Sonoma during the summer and visited Avinodos Wines and it was definitely one of the most memorable of the trip! I was greeted by Dan Dexter who is the wine maker/​owner of Avinodos. Dan was very friendly and explained all of his wines as well as Gustavo’s wines as well. He even gave us a tour of the production area of his wines, where he let us barrel sample many of his wines that were almost ready for bottling. After some tough decisions, I walked out with a few bottles of the Malbec. They were excellent!
In addition, dont expect a «Wow» factor winery/​tasting room, this is a small production winery in their production area. I personally look for good wines rather than mediocre wines in a beautiful tasting room. If you’re a true wine enthusiast that appreciates good wines from a knowledgeable wine maker, Avinodos is for you!
