The Wine Foundry

What fun and yummy as well! Monica really made us feel welcomed during our excellent wine tasting and tour of the facilities. If you have ever thought about making your own wine complete with personal label, this place is for you. They have workshops, you can visit and be part of the process throughout or talk with the wine master on the phone to invent your own wine. We are going to sign up for our own label and are having the Foundrys wines we sampled shipped to us in Florida. Happy tasting!!!

Yes, granted this is my first Unilocal review but I felt the desire to share my experience at The Wine Foundry recently.
Rather than another review about wine notes, aesthetics and such how about a review of an overall wine tasting and wine creation experience?
First off, the Tasting Room. Which just opened this week.
My group of 9 were immediately greeted by Monica and her warm smile and engaging personality. The tasting bar is U-​shaped and perfect for interaction with everyone and seeing their expressions as they taste. Again, fun experiences!
The room itself is beautiful and practical.
From the room you can see the in– house production facilities.
Monica was gracious enough to allow our sizable and now just slightly intoxicated, group into the wine making facility. There we met Eric, one of the wine makers. Great of Eric to take the time!
We were fascinated to learn about and interact with the wine making process.
We sampled wine in its infancy and I have to say I was thinking… ‘I really appreciate this sample but just a little young’…yikes!
Imagine my relief when Monica and Eric spit out the excess into the floor drain!
Ah, so that’s what the professionals do. Whew! No pretentiousness here!
The aromas were wonderful. Sensory overload!
We also had the pleasure of barrel tasting a Cab that was the group felt was the highlight of the entire experience.
Imagine, in this location you have not only the ability to taste and buy wine, you may also work with the Foundry team and make and sell YOUR own wine! How cool is that?!
As we were leaving, Monica asked for feedback on making the experience more pleasurable.
That was refreshing to hear in Napa and was as UNIQUE as The Wine Foundry itself!
I can’t wait to revisit!

Great people, great wine! Awesome new tasting room, recommend you stop by on your next trip to Napa
