My wife and I did the 10 am owners tour. We were glad we did. George Hendry is a wealth of knowledge and a rare resource. He has been on his ranch since for seventy years. His explanation on the economics, science and art of the winery business was exceptional. This is not your normal wine tasting with a few drinks and a few laughs. This is a learning experience from the Yoda of Napa valley.
I've lived here for a couple of years and was an engaged tourist for years before that. Wine tours are all a little different from each in that each winery has their own story to tell. The Hendry experience is different from any other tour/ tasting I've done. Jan was our Guide and she has a great sense of humor and a huge repertoire of knowledge. She's very laid back but anxious to address any question. The property is gorgeous. The tour is very educational and the tasting is even more so. Even if you are a real enthusiast, you will enjoy the nuances they impart to you with regard to enjoying your wine. It's nice that they limit to about 8 people so it's personable. The wine is delicious and reasonably priced.....you'll likely go home with some.
When we asked our hotel and family for a tour/tasting recommendation, they recommended a more commercial and extremely popular vineyard. I knew we wanted something more unique, and Hendry was the perfect choice! My husband and I concluded our day in Napa with the 2 p.m. 1.5 hour tour and tasting. When we arrived, our host Theresa (hopefully I remembered her name properly!) informed us that the other guests could not make it and it would just be us three. What a wonderful tour and tasting--complete with adorable rescue dog Honey following alongside! Theresa was full of knowledge without being elitist, and we left Hendry knowing so much more about wine making than we ever thought possible. We highly anticipate the arrival of all the wine we ordered. Go to Hendry; you will not regret it.
我们在这里游玩接收到了乔治亨德利的热烈欢迎。不得不说,这里是我去过的最有意思的酒庄。这里不但葡萄园和酒厂非常棒,而且作为这里老板的乔治给我们提供的自酿葡萄酒和食品与非常美味。在这里游玩需要花费40美元,如果你还想买葡萄酒的话,还需要支付额外的费用。我强烈推荐来这里。
什么使这次酒庄体验不同于其他酒庄体验呢:这是一次体验红酒制作和红酒品尝的小课程;每人40美元的费用不包括买酒的钱。酒厂主人和红酒制作者乔治•亨得利陪我们参观,让我们的参观变得特别有意思。如果你想参观纳帕酒庄的话,这家酒庄绝对会在每个我推荐的酒厂列表上。
My husband and I went to Hendry after reading many fantastic reviews on Tripadvisor and Yelp. This winery completely surpassed our expectations, and was the best vineyard we visited during our three day trip to Napa Valley. Jeff, the wine maker, gave our 2:00 tour. He was not only funny and knowledgable, but he was open about sharing his experience and wisdom about the wine making process with us. We learned so much about wine from this tour+tasting experience! The tour ended with an informative tasting session where we tasted through about seven or eight wines. Since we were there on a weekend, the tour+tasting fee per person was $50, but these fees are waived if you purchase bottles of wine. We felt that overall this was an amazing deal and experience! We toured or tasted at eight other vineyards and did not have as great of a time. Thank you, Jeff!
Meticulous craft wine making--See if you can get a tour, not easy. Magnificent property. They have hosted 11 wine dinners at Stage Left in New Brunswick, NJ one of NJ's top restaurants. A value buy
This was our second visit, so we are repeat visitors. We signed up for the 2-hour tour/seminar and tasting with George Hendry. Although there is a lot of walking and standing (a consideration for older guests), anyone interested in the chemistry, physics, and economics of a winery will love this tour. My 80-year old Dad, who is no connoisseur but loves science, was raving about the tour for days.
我们被带着参观了酒厂,并且George Hendry亲自向我们介绍了整个酿酒工艺流程。他真是业内专家。我们品尝了大约11种不同的红酒。非常棒的经历。
We took the tour/seminar at the Hendry vineyard and it was hands down our favorite morning in Napa! The wines were good, Mr. Hendry was knowledgeable and I learned SO much about wine making and wine tasting. It was the most thorough and fun wine tasting I have ever done in my life. Do it!!!
