What makes this tour different from other winery tours: it's a mini course in wine-making and wine-tasting; the $40/pp tour fee is subtracted from wine purchases. Having George Hendry, owner and wine-maker, give the tour makes it particularly interesting. It would be on any list of recommendations I would give for visiting Napa wineries.

If you want to learn about wine, take the tour at Hendry wines. You won't regret it. If you just want a quick, simple sip and go, search elsewhere. This is going to take time and energy, but it's worth it. I haven't had a tour, tasting, or event that's better. We learned things like why the same wine can... More

Very detailed. Gives a different vantage point for your next winery. Wish I had gone here first. The people are here for their passion it seems.

By far the best wine tour and tasting we have ever had! Not only was the tour of the vineyards and winery very interesting and informative, perhaps more importantly George used the tasting to instruct each of the participants about his/her own palate and which wines pair best with what foods. The cost of the tour and tasting is $40... More

Very informative tour, excellent tasting, friendly staff. George is the man! Not the place to go if one is looking for a quick tasting.

This isn't like most of the other vineyards I went to in Napa. It's a slow paced tour where you actually learn about wine, pairing it with food, properly tasting it, etc. The tour was interesting because Mr. Hendry discussed the business aspect of owning a vineyard and being profitable. He also explained wine production in great detail which I... More

You can keep reading more reviews about the great experience at Hendry...or just schedule the tour to see for yourself. After George's tour one only needs to do tastings at the other wineries...and learn to ignore the host blather about how any wine supposedly tastes and smells.

George the owner spent a lot of time explaining what his winery did and why things tasted the way the did including some tasting drills. It was long, but very informative and highly recomended for anyone new to wine tasting. Super nice and friendly people, and the vinyard is beautiful.

George (the owner) is the man! By far the best and most informative tours I've ever been on! Everything from sampling the grapes fresh off the vine to table side tasting drills! Definitely my favorite vineyard and tour of the trip!
