Neyers Vineyards

This tiny, family-owned winery, tucked up in Sage Canyon between Yountville and St. Helena provides one of the best wine tasting experiences in the valley. Arriving at Neyers Winery feels like entering someone's home, and their hostess is like a knowledgeable friend as she pours and chats with guests. In their small tasting room, you pull up a stool and are given a sheet with the wines that you'll be tasting along with a pen to make notes. It's the perfect place to ask detailed questions about wine making, grapes, terroir or wine and food pairings that are less encouraged at larger wineries, while trying out their excellent chardonnays.
