This was our favorite tasting & tour in Napa.
We visited back in September and have recommended Promontory to everyone who has planned a Napa trip for 2023. The tour started with a glass of champagne and a walk of the wineries amazing grounds. The architecture here is spectacular and it is an amazing view. We ended up purchasing a few bottles to have shipped back home to New Jersey. The process was easy & efficient and we received our purchases back home in a timely manner. We will definitely be returning for another tour & tasting the next time we are in Napa. Definitely worth the money.

Stunning view, wine making facilities, and cellars. In terms of tasting, they are pretty generous with the pour considering their wine price, but not much variety. In terms of quality, this is one of the best red wines I've ever tasted. It's def my favorite in Harlan's portfolio, and can go toe-to-toe with bdx first growths.Is it worth the price?

This is the site of one of the most talked-about projects in Napa - an 860-acre property called Promontory. The cult status of the wine from the most powerful family in Napa, along with Harlan, Bond. The sense of place at Promontory overlooking Bond and Harlan is magical.We have been at Promontory a handful of times and each time you cannot help but felt that I don't deserve to have the out of this world experience. All the hosts / wine educators / ambassadors are polished and knowledgeable. The Promontory wine is unique because of the not in your face (using the huge non French oak barrels) that is so elegant. Current release price is $650+ but it is definitely a special treat.Plan months ahead for your visits, and you won't be disappointed

Spectacular experience, with amazing views, a mystical tour, and great service from your personal tour guide.Promontory is a cult wine, meaning they have superfans, the wine is extremely limited and hard to buy in retail, and there is a mysterious aura about the place and the wine that makes it inexplicably special.The estate itself is like a Japanese-themed Batman lair. Super dark, sleek, but antique in certain areas, and hyper-tech in others. Think about dark wood, gigantic sliding doors, stage lights, concrete floors, deafening silence and long echoes -- you feel like you're in a movie the entire time. The entrance area provides an amazing view of the vineyards owned by the Harlan family, from the Mascot vineyard all the way to some Harlan Estate ones, and then the Promontory microclimate region is tucked in, surrounded by a bunch of mountains. You learn that the soils of promontory are special, because it is the only vineyard to have multiple types of volcanic rock.As for the 2008 Promontory, here are my notes: "This shouldn't be wine, it's not possible. You dip your nose and you realize it's more of a candle than liquid...wow! Strong floral notes (rare), lots of red and black fruits, tobacco, eucalyptus, minerals...you could go on forever. The tannins are ridiculous. Not only does the immense flavor last for minutes (like 30 minutes!), but the tannins linger forever. Your tongue will be changed for the next few hours, with the slightly thick, millions of sticky tannin textures that coat your mouth."And for the 2014 Penultimate: "It's not better than Promontory, but it's still really good. The nose is slightly less, but still that seductive, candle-like thickness on the nose. So many aromas, from your typical red and dark fruits to oak, minerals, some rose notes. The tannins are quite different though, where Penultimate has softer tannins, and doesn't linger as long. I think this is sort of a step into the Promontory world, before you take on the final boss."I came in not knowing what to expect from Promontory, but I am blown away. I am a superfan.

I worked six harvests in Napa , living in the hills above the property, and watched with curiosity as the wall and huge steel gate were erected. Work went on invisibly behind the "curtain" for years, and news leaked that the Harlan empire was expanding to this new winery with its dedicated vineyard.So finally setup a tasting for my wife's birthday here - knowing this was sure to be a special experience.Note appointments are required and there is a significant tasting fee - but justified given the experience- and it is credited against purchases. Our host Ashley is working on her Master Sommelier accreditation, and was a charming and knowledgeable host. You are greeted at the gate and escorted into an expansive entry, poured Dom Perignon - 2010 for us - and treated to spectacular views across the rugged terrain at the foot of the Mayacamas.Take time to appreciate the bas-relief sculpture of the hillside that shows each of the Harlan properties - Bond, Harlan and Promontory. Makes it easy to visualize snd appreciate the vision and process in producing these world class wines. The unique "waterfall" adds an acoustic calm to the birds singing in the background. The property is stunning. We were taken on a full tour of the winery and cellar- harvest was just underway - and tasting of some wines "in progress " from tank. The final stop was a private tasting room (see pics) with views across the ridge line snd tasting of current release and back vintage Promontory wines. After Ashley guided us through the tasting menu, we were left to enjoy the wines, sit inside or out on the patio, and the breadsticks and Vos water. This is a special spot to taste and appreciate terrific wines that most are unlikely to drink regularly. Highly recommended.

Holy macaroni. Beautiful, sexy, modern, clean, and completely enjoyable. This is a gorgeous, Napa sanctuary, with no parallel to be found in this county. I cannot say enough good things about the grounds, the winery, the service, the tasting experience, and the wines themselves. Come to this temple of wine and be cleansed of your sins. Well, at least you'll drink amazing wines!

I missed an opportunity to come with a friend last year, so we were excited to get a reservation this time. The property is very discrete, hidden behind a gate. Once you enter, it feels like a whole different world. We saw one other party there on their way out, and then we had the entire place to ourselves. They started us with a bottle of 2010 Dom, and we had sweeping views of the Harlan vineyards and Napa valley. We reviewed some geography and topography before heading over to the fermentation area. We just happened to come during harvest and were able to see all of the action. You then proceed down to a private cask tasting area before finally heading to the private tasting room with the most grand open view of the valley. We had a 2008 Promontory and the 2014 Penultimate, which is their newer project. I preferred the Promontory, but I'm glad we got to try the Penultimate. I appreciate the Voss and parmigiano + bread sticks for in between sips. Ashley took care of us and was by far the most knowledgeable host I've ever had. She's a sommelier by training and is incredibly knowledgeable and yet so approachable. She truly made the experience for us. For what you get, the tasting price is actually a very good value, especially since so many other Napa places charge $100-200 these days for much less exclusive and unique experiences. Fortunately, our friends are members at Harlan; otherwise, getting a reservation is not easy!

Stunning Property.MUST visit. Entering through an intimidating solid iron gate, one has no idea what to expect on the other side. The answer is simple, HEAVEN. The views here go on for days. The architecture and every corner of this winery begs to be photographed and taken in slowly. The tour begins with a glass of Dom Pérignon, of course it does! It follows with a bit of history and a walk through the barrel rooms (and quick sip off one!), before ending in one of the beautiful serene tasting rooms. Pause, sip, pinch myself, and repeat. That's pretty much how it went. A forever fan. To visit, contact the winery directly with plenty of time to make a reservation. The 90 minute sit-down experience is private and includes a taste directly from the cask (as I mentioned), and a couple of bottles from their library vintages.

What a place! This is next level! Epic, beautiful, delicious. You book a private tour and it is so worth it and even bought a few bottles. Christy was our fearless leader and she clearly loves what she does and was the best docent as she had so much information for us. The grounds and architecture supply the most beautiful backdrop to a lovely day with friends. I will be back.
Be the first to ReplyHoly winery and wine! If you want to experience a location
Holy winery and wine! If you want to experience a location that is so luxurious and the wine is so magnificent then promontory is worth the splurge! We had no idea what to except I was just recommended to go by Jetsetchristina (check her blog out if you're visiting Napa valley) when we arrived we were welcomed with Dom since they don't make white wine :) and then we had an intimate tasting, it was what the perfect red wine should taste. Promontory is an opportunity to taste what an $800 bottle taste like if it's over your wine budge like me lol
Be the first to ReplyI discovered Promontory through a blog and was dying to try
I discovered Promontory through a blog and was dying to try this place. We had tried to get in on one of our trips up there, but they did not have any availability. Booking ahead is your best. For our next trip up there, I contacted Carl from Savor Napa Valley Wine Tours a couple months in advance and he arranged a few tastings for us, with this one on the top of the list. I must say, it was well worth the wait and a truly amazing and exclusive experience. Your visit is entirely a private tour and tasting. We enjoyed every moment... from David welcoming us at the door, the tour he gave us of the beautiful winery, the gorgeous landscape, amazing architecture, learning about the history, the Dom pour to welcome us, and the gorgeous private tasting room. We have done the private tour of the Dom Perignon cellars in Epernay, France, which was very special, and this tour is right on par. Aside from the experience, the wine is just spectacular! Definitely not hype. All the effort put in and details you learn throughout the tour reflect in the wine. It's superb. This winery is world class and most definitely worth a planned visit.
