A beautiful Vineyard. The walk-through tour is on a hill top and is approachable by a ropeway operated by the owners. The view of the valley from the roof top is beautiful. The wine offered for tasting is mainly white wine. The wine tastes good.

Is there a better way to start off an afternoon of wine tasting than with an aerial gondola up to the top of a hill with phenomenal views??!! I loved walking through the winery as we stopped to learn about and taste 5 wines. We added on the tour & terrace option to sip 2 fabulous reds with a nice cheese board. Great wines, great atmosphere, and fabulous service. Allison was a wealth of knowledge and was so interesting to talk to about all things wine! This was by far our favorite experience and can't wait to go back!

My friend and I flew into Charles Schultz airport on a Tuesday. On our way to Yountville, I had made a 2:00 PM reservations at Sterling for the Hilltop Experience (five winery exclusive wines paired with local cheese and charcuterie). Weather was perfect for the Gondola ride up. The tasting room was not open last year as it was being renovated from the fires… so all was new and beautiful! All the people that worked there were extremely nice, offering to take photos in and out of the Gondola. When we arrived at the top we were given a Sauvignon Blanc tasting then seated. The view from the top was amazing. Steven our Sommelier was excellent. Very friendly, very personable, and knowledgeable. We had 4 more tasting there after along with the Charcuterie Boards filled with local cheese and meats which went perfectly with all the wines. A definite stop worth going to between the gondola ride, views, service and tasting. Thank you Steven for making our time there so enjoyable! Atmosphere: elegant with beautiful views. Service: excellent. Food: excellent.

Loved the terrace experience! Gondola ride and views make it all worth it. So glad they were able to rebuild after their fire. Everyone was friendly and would give you as much or as little information as you were in the mood for. Loved the selection!

This is a unique way to experience a wine tasting. You take a gondola up to the building where you do a tour and tasting. After sampling wine as you tour you are then seated on a beautiful terrace overlooking the mountains. You finish your tasting as well as enjoying a very nice cheese board. Good wine and fun afternoon.

The winery sits on top of a 300 foot hill. We enjoyed the aerial gondola ride up to the hilltop winery. Beautiful views from the gondola. There are several tasting experiences. We chose the "Tour and Terrace Experience". With this experience, we had 6 wine tastings. Three tastings on the tour as we strolled through the winery and three seated tastings with a cheeseboard inside the tasting room. Typically, the last three tasting are out on the terrace but it was 96 degrees outside. So they moved the tasting to a room inside. My daughter liked all 6 of the tastings. I particularly enjoyed the sweet white wine the most. While touring the winery you get a behind the scenes look at the art and science of winemaking.

Sterling Vineyards is a don't miss experience when visiting Napa. This is a superb experience on many levels. First, the gondola ride to the top of the mountain provides a view you don't want to miss. It's simply breathtaking at the top and a perfect place for a photo op - although pics don't end up doing it justice. Second, we loved that tastings were spaced at different locations with easy to digest information about the winery and winemaking. A perfect location for those wanting to learn more about the process of turning all the grapes into delicous wine. Sterling's Sauvignon Blanc was a refreshing white after the big, bold Cabs featured all throughout NV. This may feel touristy to some experienced oenophiles but our group of 3 considered it one of the highlights of our trip and highly recommend!
