This is my second visit to Caymus. It has been several years and they have done extensive work outside and inside. Beautiful gardens and the wine tasting rooms have been expanded to include both sit down tastings and walk in. They are now part of the Wagner Family of wineries. We arrived in the early afternoon, so it was not... More

This was our second visit to Caymus and it was better then the first. We had reservations for the $30pp tasting and they actually set us up outside in their picnic/garden area. This was a nice change as on our first visit the tasting was in the "dinning room". There is construction out front as they brick the driveway but... More

I am guessing most of the reviewers had an appointment at this winery. We did a drop by as a friend of ours that we traveled in Tuscany last year raved about this wine being the best. We had been to two other wineries prior to this and didn't think the wine was as good as the prior two. Once... More

My husband and I spend four days visiting wineries and we both agreed that Caymus was our favorite. Our guide (Mike) was friendly, down to earth, knowledgeable and passionate about Caymus wines. They gave us a few extra pours of some other Wagner wines and for $30 it was a great deal! The special selection cab at the end of... More

Traveled fr MA for a meeting in SF. Spent a couple of days in Napa and Caymus was high on the list given our experience with their Special Selection Cab. Mike led a very friendly and informative tasting with 8 visitors answering all questions with great expertise and patience. The highlight of the tasting was the 2010 Special Select Cabernet... More

of all the wineries we visited the last 2 trips, this is the most memorable. not only is the staff friendly and approachable (you assume knowledgeable at a winery, altho that is not always the case), the wine was absolutely far and above the best. we usually avoid the larger well known wines we "See at home" so we almost...

We did the upgraded tasting. This was a small group and we got to taste some of the estate wines in a private room. The taste guide was very knowledgeable on the entire collection, not just the wines that we tasted.

We arrived too late to purchase the full tasting, so the bartender gave us a taste for free! He even took us in the back and took pictures of us with the world's largest wine bottle. He was very fun and accommodating. Great experience, and the wine was good too!

Several people told us to try Caymus, they make a great cab. Caymus is a beautiful setting. However, you walk in, belly up to the bar with guys in tshirts selling the wine....and that seems to be it. Pay us the $15 bucks, we'll push our Pinot which was really only sort of OK (very beautiful bottle though) and that... More

I liked the prior version of their tastings better - more expensive and exclusive, and focussed more on the "heart" of the Wagner wines (Cabernet) than the current version, but is was still GREAT. Our host (Mike) was knowledgable and gracious, and really did a great job. Highly recommend!
