Hope & Grace Wines, Napa Valley

My wife and I had a great experience in the small tasting room with another patron sipping wines...a lot of fun for our anniversary. We really liked one of the wines we tried so purchased a few bottles and had it shipped home. Unfortunately, both corks were friable and difficult to remove, and the wine was already spoiled (vinegar taste). We messaged in to get replacements but never heard back and these bottles were $100 a piece. Because of this we won't purchase from Hope and Grace again, too many other great options out there.

LINDA IS AMAZING. PERIOD!!!I bought a bottle of their Cuvee Amor III and Semillon. The semillon was surprisingly good— Great price too!Update:Opened the bottle not long after purchase and it was pretty disappointing. It’s still in my refrigerator. I will be using it to cook.

You've made it to Napa! Located just down the street from the famed the french laundry, Hope & Grace greets one with the some truly delicate Pinot Noir's.For those who wish to know why some people swoon over an amazing Pinot. Hope & Graces will provide you with that knowledge. Not only will there big Cabs impress you but their Hendricks Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir will not disappoint. Here is where wine goes from good to great. To tame the noble grape to take something delicate and transform into divine nectar of the gods. These wonderful wines and tasting will not let you down.

My wife and I have been here twice now (over a span of 2 years) and we will always try to stop by Hope and Grace. Absolutely love the friendliness of the staff and the quality of their wines. Can't wait to be back again!!!!

Had such an amazing experience here! We were graciously accommodated despite arriving without a reservation and near closing. Our host was so friendly and selected wines that were exactly to our liking. Even gave us great restaurant suggestions. I highly recommend the tasting experience here.

My friend and I stopped into Grace and Hope while waiting for another booking later in the day. We can honestly say not a single tasting came close to our experience here. Silky is so informative, kind, and excited about the wines being poured. Her passion shown through in the duration of our tasting experience and really couldn’t be touched by any other winery. It was hard not to return just so we could continue the interesting conversation and in-depth insight we got. I absolutely loved it and would return again and again.

What a lovely time we had. Welcomed us without a reservation on a blistering day with an icy glass of Sauvignon Blanc and iced water for our pup. Able to take our time and enjoy the very generous pours. Chatted with the winemaker and doted on by all the staff. Breath of (cool) fresh air when several other wineries snootily turned us away. Gasp, I know I came down without a rezzy but had a last minute schedule change and when in Napa…. Loved the cab and the whites in particular and those are usually not my thing.

We love it here! Low key and they are so nice and helpful. Even when we just pop in last minute!

There’s good wine all over Napa but it’s the environment and staff that make it, great hostess and warm ambiance here, would visit again

After a disappointing tasting a bit out of town I brought my group here on a whim to try and have a bit more candid, casual, authentic tasting. This lovely spot didn’t disappoint… ended up joining wine club. They offer a really great range of wines at all price points (aka not all you taste are over $80 which I just think is outrageous) - Rich was so kind, fun, laid back, real… 100% would recommend. Reminded me of Napa 10 years ago (when you could walk in without a reservation and not have to pay 60 bucks to taste wine… )

Popped in here for a tasting. Very casual and cool tasting experience. A good mix of reds and whites. The bottles for purchase are reasonably priced. Nice spot.

Popped in a few minutes before opening as it was surprisingly cold out, but Blake let us in to warm up anyhow. He was a great host - personalised the tasting for each person drinking to make sure we all got to drink what we enjoyed and remembered what each person enjoyed or didn't about each wine to keep fine tuning the tasting experience.He was a great combination of knowledgeable and able to answer everyone's questions and ensuring that everyone was having fun and enjoying their tasting experience. We also saw several wine club members just stopping by for a glass of wine and everyone seemed to really just have a fun time and the atmosphere was great.Blake balanced answering questions, telling stories, pouring wine, and selling bottles / club memberships / thermal shirts (apparently they had accidentally ordered extra) and never missed a beat. We didn't wind up buying any wine as we were travelling with no checked luggage (we were just sport drinking this trip) but I am wearing my hope & grace thermal right now! My only regret is that we were offered a waived tasting if we bought a second thermal - and I should have taken him up on it!!When we next find ourselves in the area, we will certainly come back and would recommend it to anyone in the area, it was a great way to spend an hour or so, and the tasting cost relative to the wines to try is extremely fair.

Hope and Grace is exactly what a winery should be … elegant but not stuffy, superior service and of course, wine. Blake went above and beyond to give us an unforgettable afternoon. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. When visiting Napa Valley, you simply must not miss it!

We got the last 4 bottles of Durrell Chardonnay and the Sonoma Mountain Rose a delight🌹

I would love to give them a better rating but the day we were there, we had 4 different wine steward/hosts. We were referred by friends so we were expecting more. The first, it was her first day & she was quite charming but we had several after her? We had to wait each time between tasting different types & lost momentum. If she had stuck with us, we would have no complaints. We were seated by ourselves in a room off the bar, would have been much more social & fun in the main room. Maybe they should suggest making reservations, we would have been much happier. We would have purchased the Pinot noir as it was delicious , but were too disenchanted with service to commit. Hope you have a better experience.

What an amazing experience we had! Me and my husband had such a great time learning from a Napa native! Yountville is such a quaint and adorable little town and nestle beneath is Hope and Grace. The wine was delicious, from whites to reds. My favorite was actually the Chardonnay. It’s definitely a must see!

We had a fabulous tasting, but the visit ended on a very unsatisfactory note. The staff offered to comp the tasting and even wrote it on our receipt as such, but they charged our credit card anyway. When we called to ask about the charge, the staff they would have to check into it and made us sound like we were lying. They called back to say that it wasn't their policy to comp tastings with the cheese plate, but they would charge it to the waitress if we wanted.We are totally happy to pay for our visit (especially with the nice cheese plate), but this interaction left us with a very bad taste. We bought wine largely because of the great interaction while we were there and their offer to comp our tastings. Of course, we didn't want them to charge their waitress but definitely feel that the company should have honored their staff's offer.

My husband and I had some time to kill before our dinner reservation and decided to try a tasting at Hope and Grace. Our friends had a tasting here and recommended it. Also, the reviews on Yelp seemed promising. When we arrived there was another couple there already tasting. The tasting room attendant greeted us by asking if we were going to share a tasting or each have one. Okay I get it... some couples like to share tastings. No big deal, but it was weird to be greeted that way. No "Hello, welcome!" or anything like that. During our tasting the tasting room attendant, Aleks was cold. She seemed like she really forced herself to talk to us. She was able to talk to the other couple just fine. (Possibly because they were in the middle of signing up for a wine club membership?). When they left she had no choice but to speak to us (again... felt really forced). Then another couple comes in and she had a really warm and welcoming demeanor towards them. At this point it really felt like she made a judgement call on me and my husband and decided we weren't worth her time. I felt really uncomfortable during my tasting and just left with a bad taste in my mouth. The wine was fine but the customer service delivered by Aleks was just deplorable. We've had tastings at other wineries and have never felt the way Aleks made us feel today. The wine was good but based on customer service alone I won't be coming back here.

8/16/20 3:45pmIn Napa with my toddler, Due to covid19 most wineries in Napa require reservation.Walked into hope & grace and no tables were available. No problem, I asked if I could get some ice and water to fill up my toddlers water bottle, her response was "sorry we don't have any"I asked for ice and water. I don't care if I have to pay $100 for it. How can u not have water and ice?????? And I'm asking for my 4yr old childIs it because of my colour of skin?Wont be going to hope and grace again!!!

We had such a lovely experience at Hope & Grace Wines. Regina was an excellent host and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend! The Malbec in particular was 👌🏻.

Was at this winery about two weeks ago and appreciated the time that was given to the tasting. It was a small tasting room but very personal service. Shared a tasting with my son and ended up buying some wine to ship home. Can't wait to open it up.

Stopped by here at the end of our day. I'm glad we did. Charles was nice to chat with. We enjoyed the 2009 Pinor so we bought a bottle. They are introducing a Malbec which was nice but not for sale (sad face).

Had an awesome time doing a tasting here. The staff was courteous and knowledgable without being pushy. The Riesling was particularly tasty.
