Domaine Carneros

  • June 2, 2006
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Jenavive from Napa, California
Domaine Carneros is a sparkling wine producer in the Napa Valley's Carneros region. There is a tour of their facility available that I recommend. On the tour, a guide explains parts of the sparkling wine production process while it is visible to you from windows above the production area.

I highly recommend their sparkling wines made from black grapes. They are more tolerable than the ones made from only white grapes, in my opinion.

Located between Sonoma and Napa on Route 12 is Domaine Carneros by Taittinger. Their winery, which they call "The Chateau", is an amazing sight. Sampling their wines on the terrace overlooking the vineyards is certainly worth the money. They even offer a cheese tray if you'd like a snack with your wine. The atmosphere is unbeatable. It's also the perfect place to take a picture of the vineyards because you have an elevated view.

Domaine Carneros is the first major winery you see on the drive from San Francisco to Napa.It was our first stop. The facility is designed to look like a French chateau. It is breathtakingly beautiful and offers many great photo opportunites. Rows of Pinot Noir vines frame the entrance. We had the good fortune to arrive just as the harvest was begining and were offered samples of the grape itself. They were surprising small, and very sweet. Ordinarly table grapes are a pale comparison. Domaine Carneros offers a video/multi-media/walking tour of their facilites which produce "sparkling" wine, aka champagne. Visitors can pick up small, free souvenirs like corks stamped with the Domanine Carneros Ramshead logo. Glasses of their products, along with cheeses (for a small charge), are offered. We sat outside on their wrought-iron chairs, enjoying the high vantage-point view of Napa, when one of their employees graciously offered us tastings of dessert wines they make with leftover grapes. Delicious. This lady also kindly answered all of our dumb questions, including, "How much is agricultural land valued at here?" Answer: about $330,000 an acre. Our ag (onions and cabbage),for comparison, goes for about $1,500.

Domaine Carneros

Domaine Carneros - (Taittinger) was recommended to us by a local couple. The building is huge and definitely stands out against the peaceful surroundings. Although this winery is far away from the others, it still attracts a crowd and the tour buses were plentiful. Fortunately, because of the size it didn't feel overly crowded. The wines weren't spectacular but the view of the horizon from the deck is.
