Frog’s Leap Winery

Incredible experience in every aspect! Beautiful environment, extremely knowledgeable and warm service, impressive approach to winemaking and just overall fantastic! The staff as a whole is wonderful, but «hats off» to Candice…

The Frog’s Leap grounds inside and out are beautiful. They obviously know their wine but they can also make some delicious jams. If you can find some, pick them up. They have picnic tables outside the beautiful tasting room. Definitely make reservations. My group of 6 were treated like VIP. Thank Frog’s Leap. We will definitely be back.

Idyllic, rustic farmhouse ambiance at this local winery favorite. The staff was incredibly friendly and since we came on a chilly day, they offered us these gorgeous throw blankets that helped warm us up! They even pulled down the screens for us too since it was blowing pretty fiercely. The vineyard itself is not as picturesque as some of the other vineyards but the ambiance is relaxing and inviting. Our wine tastings came with a platter of nuts, cheese, and dried fruits to complement our wines. I was disappointed though that our sommelier didn’t spend more time explaining the different wines and flavorings. He essentially gave us the wine and left without a word. Overall the wine itself was also fairly mediocre and nothing special

Hands down, one of the best wineries in Napa. Make an appointment ahead of time on the website (I think they use Unilocal seatme, so that’s easy). In the summer I love to do the casual tasting outside in the garden, where you can wander in the gorgeous outdoor spaces, play garden games, and admire the landscaping. In the winter, there’s nothing more lovely than sitting on the heated porch, your lap covered in a warm fuzzy blanket, trying the various wines while nomming on some cheese, crackers, and Frog’s Leap homemade jams. If you are only going to join one wine club, this would be the one.

My friends and I were lucky enough to snag a last minute appointment the day of at around 3:40pm, even though they close at 4! They are extremely kind and accommodating here, the hostesses were so nice and the guy who explained our wine to us offered us throws and pulled down the screens to block the wind since it was so cold outside!
The interior is beautiful, it feels a lot like a home, not at all like a pretentious winery. You can see the kitchen from the dining area and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Comfortable sofas, rocking chairs, and beautiful furniture everywhere for you to sit and enjoy your wine.
I had the Wine Flight for $ 25: 4 tastings including Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cab. The merlot and cab were my favorites.
Unfortunately Frog Leaps’ wines aren’t as delicious as some of the other places in Napa but I promise the people and the atmosphere are worth the visit. The flight was paired with almonds, crackers, cheese, and cranberries which complemented the reds very well. We even got a refill! Even though we stayed way past closing, they didn’t rush us out and were so kind as to offer us more pours of the wines we liked.
Love this place for its hipster vibe and kind employees. Will definitely come back again!

What a beautiful, relaxing place this is.
Frog’s leap was our third winery of the day… We had a reservation so as soon as we walked in our table was ready.
Outside, looking to the vineyards and gardens, it was perfect to wind (or wine) down after a full day of driving and tasting.
We had 4 wines to taste, as it usually happens, the reds were my favorites but, what I liked most about this winery was the atmosphere.
As I said it is very relaxing. They come to your table, pour the wines, tell you a little bit of each one and then walk away allowing you to enjoy the wine and scenery. When they see you are almost finish with one or two, they come back to ask what you thought of them and to serve you more if you want and you just sit there, enjoying the wine, view and the breeze, conversing with the people you came with.
We each decided to get an extra pour of the wine we liked most and, glass in hand, walked the gardens.
This place is beautiful. They have rocking chairs right by the vineyard, they also have some wooden chairs by a little hut looking bar where you can get more wine if needed.
We sat on those chairs, enjoyed our wine, and took it all in.
It was the perfect ending to our wine tasting day.

We were warmly welcomed and escorted to our table out on the deck. The property is meticulously attended to. Everybody was courteous and made us feel welcome. The only incomplete part of what otherwise was an enjoyable afternoon was the fact that their red wines aren’t really ready to be drunk now. We had their current released merlot, cab sau, and «off the menu» petit syrah. All were still unpleasantly tannic. I could definitely see that with time they would age marvelously but as it is they are unfortunately unapproachable.
My humble suggestion to the winery would be to offer a vertical tasting in addition to the current release tasting. This is a way to allow your guests who are completely ignorant of your wines to be able to appreciate them at its peak drinkability, especially your estate Cabernet. I am aware that the wine must be of limited quantity and highly prized but with a vertical tasting, I think more people would appreciate your beautiful wines. Well, that’s just my two cents.

Once again, this place never stops being amazing. A woman (Megan, I believe her name was. Blonde hair, medium height and a gentleman with glasses took care of us.) Both were fantastic, knowledgeable, and friendly. The walked us through our flight, let us revisit any wines we wanted (obviously, I chose to have more of the estate grown Cab) and poured us some of their petite sirah, which I always suggest to people because it’s that great. It was a beautiful day to sit out on the porch and drink some wine.
For a second year in a row, thanks for making my birthday something special. I will definitely be back!

Absolutely love this winery. Relaxing environment, beautiful grounds, wonderful wines… exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time. There was a fully booked sign at the entrance when we had arrived. Definitely a good sign. Patio tasting is only $ 25 for 4 wines. Plus, they will ask if you’d like additional pours of any of the wines. Complimentary cheese and crackers was nice. Perfect way to end a day of wine tasting. The less crowded wineries are sometimes the better ones.

If you are planning on visiting over a weekend, I highly recommend making a reservation. Upon pulling in this Sunday, they had a «fully reserved» sign out. I made an appointment for a patio seating tasting and we were seated at our patio overlooking the vineyard right on time. It was so nice not having to crowd around a tasting bar trying to get one of the pourers’ attention. We were greeted by one of the workers who provided some background and the specific winemaking process. Then he came back with a picnic basket with all four of the wines we’d be trying. He poured them all at once into four glasses, which I liked a lot because it allowed you to drink at your own pace and revisit as you liked. I enjoyed all of the red wines with my favorite being the merlot.
After we were down to our last glass, we took some time to walk around the property. They had some good comfortable lounge chairs and rocking chairs on the lawn that were super comfortable. We relaxed for a bit then we were on our way. I’d definitely recommend booking an appointment for this winery on your next trip.

Beautiful! It was a great wrap up to our weekend in wine country. We were able to get a reservation at the end of the day on a Sunday. The farmhouse is gorgeous. Just my style. :)
It wasn’t crowded at all and the lounge chairs in the garden were perfect for chatting with friends and watching our toddler and pup play.
I don’t remember all the wines we tried. We didn’t get any to take home with us. I do remember the Zinfandel being quite good and I usually don’t like them at all.
I didn’t realize this at the time but after looking more at the Unilocal reviews, I’m sad we didn’t get any sort of cheese or dried fruits with our tasting. Boo, would have been 5 star!

Frog’s leap was a great way to start my NAPA adventures! I came here after a coworker recommended it. It is a love winery with beautiful grounds. I began my visit with a wine tasting led by Nick. He was very knowledgable and really down to earth. He shared how frog’s leap is one of the few that still do dry farming (no irrigation just rain). He also shared a little bit about each wine. It was great to have someone explain the history of the winery without even being asked and go beyond by sharing his knowledge. At the end of the visit, I chose to purchase the 2013 Zinfandel :).
After the tasting, I explored the grounds. It is really quite lovely and lush with flowers and vegetables, even some chickens!
I Definitely recommend visiting this vineyard!

A great place to start a relaxing day of wine tasting.
The grounds are beautiful: not only do they have the usual tasting room and vineyards, they also have an outdoor garden tasting area among the produce that they grow (raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, pumpkins, etc). There is plenty of space to sit outside and relax, as well as meander the grounds with a glass of wine in hand. And for those with kids, this is one of the more «kid-​friendly» wineries, as there is plenty of space for them to frolic around outside while the adults enjoy their wine (and we did see more than a few kids running around the garden).
It’s also apparently a super popular spot, as we were greeted with a «fully reserved» sign as we pulled into the parking lot; that said, it was relatively quiet at 10:30 in the morning and we enjoyed a peaceful, enjoyable start to our day in Napa.

This lovely winery deserves 10 stars. It is family-​run, gorgeous, and relaxing. They have put together a wine country experience that is unforgettable — from the furry friend who greets you, to the wraparound porch to taste wine on, to the expensive garden grounds that you’re free to stroll in… you will not leave unsatisfied.
Make sure to reserve a tasting before arrival; they do not seem to accept walk-​in tastings.
This is a great event venue too for something like a wedding or bridal shower.

One of THE most laid back wine tasting experiences of the trip. We had the reserve tasting, sat in the shaded deck, sampled wine (and cheese), viewed the lush garden and mountain background, petted the farm dog, picked our favorite pour for a (self) tour in the garden, even picked a little cherry tomato — yummm, then got to see the harvest happening! Fun time!
Really liked how they poured their tasting — all together, so we didn’t have to chug or dump to taste the next one. It really let us go back and forth with our taste buds and preference on wine. Petit Syrah really spoke to us.

Frog’s Leap was the first winery we went to in Napa, so while I enjoyed it, I may have enjoyed it less had it followed and not preceded Joseph Phelps. We stopped by without an appointment, and the lady at the front desk took quite a while to see if she could seat us. She told us she had no spots on the patio that weren’t reserved (it was 2 pm on a Monday) but she could seat us inside at a big, long communal table. We were fine with that. What was strange, and what I hate more than anything, is that over 65% of the patio tables were never filled the entire time we were there. Sort of a bummer, because we would have liked to have enjoyed the outdoors.
Take a walk through the grounds afterwards to see some pretty gardens.
Wines were good, but the zinfadel, which I never like, was very unimpressive. I wished they had done less easily obtainable wines, maybe ones you can’t normally get on the shelf, including in the flights, instead of having to pay extra to get those rarer pours.

I remember having a good time here last time and was looking into possibly joining the wine club so I suggested to my friends that we come here, but boy, what a disappointment it was!
Originally, I made an appointment for 5 people online, but then I had to increase to 8 people so I called and they adjusted it. When we got there, the hostess was confused as she said I had 2 different reservations which made no sense. I think the cellarpass website for appointments suck. Then she asked if I called to make an appointment as they don’t typically take 8 people so late in the day at 3:15. It was their bad for scheduling it, but they didn’t have a table for us ready inside so they gave us the option to wait until whenever the existing party left or to sit out in the garden area for $ 20 tasting instead. We didn’t want to wait so we went outside.
Little did we know that the garden area tasting was pretty much self serve and we had to walk up to get pours. We couldn’t even order food or have food as supposedly the county regulations restricted them so we ended up just tasting the 4 wines. Of the 4, the 2013 Zinfandel, Napa Valley and 2012 Merlot, Rutherford were the better ones.
Overall, because they messed up on our appointment, it definitely ruined the experience for me. This was not the tasting experience I was expecting. I was expecting to sit out on the porch, have a nice view of the garden, enjoy the sunshine, have a cheese plate, and enjoy their wines. Not sure if I’m convinced to come back anytime soon.

We came here while visiting family in Concord, California for Christmas. Because my husband and I are from Dallas, Texas, we wanted to experience Napa Valley, but we had two toddlers in tow. Frog’s Leap Winery was the perfect place for families.
There were six of us in the party, plus our two toddler nieces. We each had a wine tasting. They brought us out roasted almonds and cheese to cleanse our pallets in between tastings.
My favorite wine was the Cabernet. I am a dry red kind of gal and the Cabernet was just my style. My husband and father-​in-​law favored the Chardonnay. All in all, the tasting was really enjoyable. Our host was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of her way to provide an excellent run down of the winery and the wines.
Frog’s leap is a beautiful facility. They have a gorgeous inside and an even more impressive outside. We had brought a picnic lunch, in hopes that we would be able to utilize their gorgeous garden. However, we were informed that they did not have the proper permit for a picnic.
Nonetheless, we had a great afternoon and wouldn’t hesitate to return again.

Wow! In love! Just amazing!
This is a fantastic winery experience, they have a few options as a visitor and the centre point is the well appointed main house. Beautifully decorated, instantly you know this is going to be great!
Reservations are not absolutely necessary off peak but well advised as with peak times, you’ll definitely want to ensure your name is down. We were greeted by 2 lovely ladies who were friendly and amusing, light hearted they talked to us as they led us out to the veranda which looks out over the vines and furnished to a 5 star standard.
We opted for the Signature Seating Tasting $ 20 for 4 tastings and as first time visitors to a winery, we enjoyed every one only be be surprised by the top ups we then continued to get, we were also walked through other blends and asked if we wanted to try others. There was no rush, they gave each wine a detailed description and were super knowledgeable. After an hour or so sipping on the porch, we decided to walk the gardens, they sent us off with a fresh class of our favourite tasting and we wandered the gardens and the old red barn. The Red Barn had an inside seating area finished with gas heaters so we just chilled out and continued our relaxing visit! If you’ve not got this on your winery list — ADD it now!

«The finest way to learn about anything is to experience it. «
Let me first start by saying… their red barn is everything!
I was actually hesitant to go to our appointment because we ended up sneaking Caymus in beforehand and it’s really hard for anything to top that, but my boyfriend didn’t let us skip and I’m really happy we didn’t as he turned down their driveway. While I adore Caymus for their wine, the experience is much different than Frog’s Leap.
Frog’s Leap is everything you want out of a wine tasting experience. The porch is lovely, reminded me a lot of the wrap around porch at Duckhorn and what’s so nice about this area is each place is a different experience, which is nice during your stay — doing the same thing over and over even for someone like me who loves it, will grow mundane. The house is beautiful and the grounds and gardens are perfect for a stroll.
We tasted their 13 Chardonnay, 12 Zin, 12 Merlot and 12 Cab, then the awesome guys up front gave us a couple glasses of their 12 Petite Sirah and Heritage Blend to wander around the gardens with. Everything was a bit lighter than I usually like but I don’t think we disliked anything. Surprisingly I preferred their Zin and Merlot over the Cab. The cheese, cracker and jam plate that arrived with our tasting was also very nice.
We really enjoyed ourselves and I’d definitely add them to our must visit list for the future.
