Hendry Winery - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Hands down the best wines we enjoyed in Napa. The experience was different. Very low key. We had a private room. 2 of us and one guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took us out to the vineyard to taste the grapes. Best part is that they actually credit your tasting towards purchases. There’s no reason not to walk away with bottles that you can’t get anywhere else. We will actually be joking this club. Must visit if near Napa

Always a favorite tasting stop. Skip does a fantastic job. Family owned since 1939. Wonderful wines. Beautiful setting. My daughter and I are both sommeliers. She more than me but have the pin. So we are serious about wine and love this place.

Overall experience was very personalized and not rushed, very informative.

So full disclosure, we really weren't the biggest fans of Napa. Most of the wineries we went to were either too overpriced, snobby, corporate or all of the above. Hendry, was one of the few exceptions. After sharing our experience with another couple we met in the area, they told us we had to come here and it absolutely did not disappoint. We absolutely adored our tasting here. One of the few family owned wineries in the area, it showed in both their warmth as hosts and in the quality of their wines. We loved everything about this place (and their wine). In addition, the scenery is truly stunning! I cannot recommend this vineyard enough. A true gem in Napa Valley!

Beautiful winery, super nice, welcoming, and knowledgeable staff, and great wine. Amazing experience.

Myself and my wife visited during a trip to Napa to do some tasting at a few wineries back in September 2023. We had an absolutely amazing time and Skip was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the vineyards history and wines we were tasting. It had a lovely, more family run, feel to it and Hendry was definitely our favourite winery of the ones we visited. We will definitely have to visit again next time we’re over in the States.

We had a wonderful, educational and delicious time at Hendry. Skip was a fountain of information and so interesting with history and wine knowledge . Four of us loved the wines and are very happy that wine can be shipped! This is a wine that can be enjoyed at any time- very highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience at Hendry. Skip, our host, was great! The wines are delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend this spot.

5 star experience all around. Greg was super informative about the history of Hendry and wine making as well as passionate about wine. By far my favorite winery experience.

In a region filled with large names (and larger prices), Hendry puts out some of the most amazing wines in the region for very reasonable prices! Had a lovely personal tasting experience with T. Trust me, if you’re deciding on where to go in the region, you will not be disappointed with this small, family estate winery!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting experience at Hendry. We visited to celebrate a friend's birthday and do a pickup (friends are members at Hendry). The final vertical flight of 2014, 2018, 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon were wonderful.

It was my first wine tasting experience and I must thank Skip from Hendry wines for making it super special for me and my husband. The overall experience was very personalised and not rushed, very detailed/informative. Skip walked us through the history of the Hendry family and their winery business in an engaging manner. We were also honoured to meet the master wine maker/owner Mr.George Hendry. With a lot of other wineries around the Napa area commercialising the wine tasting business, Hendry’s is among the very few wineries out there that make every penny worth spending. The best part is they waive the tasting fee if you purchase a wine that is equal to or more than the fee. Love, Sakshi and Sandeep

We had a fantastic, informative, and very down-to-earth tasting with 'T.' She understood our inexperience and adjusted her time with us to make it an experience above & beyond any winery we've ever visited. What a joy!

First time visiting Napa and Hendry’s came recommended by friends so we paid a visit. Skip gave us the most informative and fun wine tasting experience I’ve ever had. Awesome place with awesome wine and history. If you’re looking for a quality and personal winery, this is your place!

Great little gem of a winery surrounded by beautiful acreage. Wines are delicious and at a great price point. Super nice staff as well. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough about hendry. WOW This was the 6th winery we visited in Napa and by far, the best. Skip is the person you want serving. All the wines are delicious. I especially loved their 7 &22 Zin. They go super hard telling you about the winery and George who runs the place. Ultimately i was left with the most positive happy vibes. The wine was delicious and the company was excellent. I normally am the type of person to prefer to taste the wines and be left alone but this place totally changes my mind. EXCEPTIONAL

T was amazing & took the time to get to know us as she guided our tasting. Hendry is a unique gem in Napa & I would absolutely recommend! The story of this winery is also incredible.

Hendry is by far the best tasting that we had while in Sonoma & Napa. Gregg who lead our tasting was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. At other tastings we felt like everything was scripted and inorganic, but we had such a personalized and intimate experience at Hendry. While tastings are not as much about quantity, I will say that we also got to try a lot more wine for the money, both in variety and quantity. They also waive the tasting fee with a purchase equal to the per person fee. Which essentially means you double your value. All that to say we were very impressed. Thank you Gregg for an amazing experience!

had an amazing experience here! everyone is extremely nice and welcoming! the experience was very intimate. learned so much about the vineyard and wine making in general! the cabernet was definitely a favorite!

I always recommend Hendry to anyone visiting Napa. The tasting experience is such a relaxing way to spend an afternoon, with nice views and a great glass of wine in hand, and the staff are really friendly and just want you to have a good experience. The tasting fee can be used toward bottles of wine if you want to take some home.

Our favorite winery for the last 20 years. Consistently top tier.

May be the most reasonably priced in Napa! Fantastic wine and experience.

What a great personalized experience! The Cabernet Sauvignon was wonderful!! Also an amazing value, as your tasting fees are waived when you buy bottles. 10/10 recommend

Excellent place. Very informative. Love all the knowledge we got out of our visit. Delicious variety of wines. Must do if you want to learn about wines. Thank you so much Tamara :-)

Go here if you get the chance! If you can’t make the trip, they ship their wines across the country and have excellent customer service. Can’t wait to go back

Absolutely in love with this winery. Not only are the owners super friendly but they really do put a lot of love into what they do and they enjoy doing it too. The estate is straight out of a movie and the wines are to die for. Some of my favorite wines come from this very winery. Cannot wait to go back & make new memories with the ones I'm with. If you have not been to Hendry yet, it should be on your bucket list of wineries to visit in Wine Country.

We are Hendry wine club members and traveled from MD to visit the winery on 4/10. The service was outstanding including details of all of the Hendry blocks and how the wines are made by the Hendry family. We enjoyed all of the wines, including the 2019 Cabernet Franc. The setting on the winery porch overlooking the estate vines was very beautiful and comfortable. A visit to Hendry in Napa is highly recommended!

Our favorite winery in all of Napa hands down. We make a yearly Napa trip around Hendry. Join their club- you won’t be disappointed. The staff here is amazing, the view is beautiful, and we haven’t found better wine. Thank you Hendry fam ❤️

Great wine/winery and the host was really attentive throughout the duration of the tasting.

Something to be aware of: this winery is by reservation only. Didn’t get to taste any wines. The person there was very nice but couldn’t accommodate us. Disappointing after a 30-minute drive. The reviews on Google and TripAdvisor don’t specify that you need reservations…lessons learned: check the website to see if reservations are required since the Google or TripAdvisor reviews may not mention that. More wineries are offering experiences like this over the “drop in and taste some wine” model. Will definitely try them again next time I’m in the area.

We did a wine tasting at this winery and had hands down THE BEST tour and tasting experience we have ever had, and we have been on several. Tamara was a lot of fun and we learned a lot about how to taste wines instead of having wines handed to us and simply being asked we you liked it. Very small groups, a very beautiful setting, and outstanding wines. We recommend this tour and tasting if you can fit it in your schedule.

What a great spot! Nestled off the beaten path we had a wonderful tasting with Angela. The winery is beautiful and her knowledge of both wine and the property and history are captivating! We loved our experience with her!

Such a pleasant, quiet tasting experience. Linda was so knowledgable and this winery feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of larger Napa wineries. Highly recommended!

This was an outstanding experience! Our host, Tamara, was so knowledgeable about the wine and the winery’s history. You can tell that everyone here is passionate about their winemaking. The wines themselves are stellar and the prices are reasonable. Go!

Absolutely love this vineyard. The staff is so knowledgeable about their wine. The tasting is a great deal, especially if you buy bottles as well :) The view from the porch is lovely & peaceful, very much enjoyed spending my low key birthday here this past year. I recommended Hendry to my brother & his wife who said it was the best tour they’ve ever had- from the owner. Thank you! Can’t wait to come back.

We loved our visit here! Very private and thorough tasting. Looking back at all the wineries we visited, this one was our favorite.

Too notch experience. Loved everything about this place. Quaint and personal. Wine is amazing.

The albarino is wonderful. Hendry has a very nice selection of whites and reds. Our host was very knowledgeable about the wines and the history of Hendry. We like to visit the family owned wineries and this has history. The view is relaxing and very quiet. I recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely food and wine pairing. The Chardonnay and Cab Franc were very nice. Highly recommend.

Tamara gave us such a great experience at Hendry Winery! We had an excellent time learning stories behind the history of the winery & how everything is made. She also went completely above & beyond in returning a forgotten item after our visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience & would definitely return!

Best ever wine tasting experience.

I am so grateful we stumbled upon this winery. It feels like home, so relaxing and the estate itself is beautiful. The hostess was such a sweetheart! She helped us better understand why we prefer some wines over others. I could have sat there and talked all day. Of course the wine was wonderful as well!

If you are ever in the Napa area, do yourselves a favor and schedule a visit with them. Not only is their wine very special, the ambience and the experience the team there create for you is what makes your time worthwhile. Wine tasting is as much about what outside the glass as it is about what's inside.

Had an amazing time at this winery. Their wines are amazing and the person we did the tasting with was amazing. She explained the science and techniques that go into make their amazing wine. If you can, make sure to go to this winery when you are in Napa. You will not be disappointed.

The seminar tasting is definitely worth your time if you want to learn about wine making and wine tasting.

This could be one of the best tours and tasting I have been on. Awesome tour guide and excellent wines. A large selection was offered to the people. It was a small intimate experience with our small good. Everyone was friendly which contributed to the the amazing experience.

What a great experience meeting George and having a wine legend give us a personal 3 hour tour. He was educational and authentic in his delivery of the rich Hendry family tradition of wine making. Definitely will take my new knowledge with me.

Best wine tour / education session I have ever experienced at a winery. Most winery tours are really wine tastings. By the end of our time there we had a much better understanding of the vintner's art and science. From selection of grape variety based on soil, light and access to water. Choosing the perfect time to harvest. Sorting the harvest and wine production. We left with a much better appreciation of all that goes into making a vineyard work and produce wines at the highest level of quality. The Hendry experience is excellent so book ahead.

I came here with a group of coworkers for a work offsite and partook in some wine tasting at Hendry's. The property itself was gorgeous and the cabin where we had the wine tasting was so quaint and cute. Our tasting guide was also extremely knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. However, since it was our first time wine tasting, a lot of the jargon and vocabulary was lost on us. We asked her to dum it down a little bit so we could understand her explanations. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to adjust and continued pontificating as if we were all wine connoisseurs. But overall the experience was still vey good. I would come back again. Oh, and I appreciated that they gave each person a spit cup! I personally have the lowest tolerance of anyone I know and get a severe allergic reaction if I drink too much. So that cup saved me from having to drive home beet-red...

This was a wonderful experience ! The best tasting , a real must when visiting. It’s like you are in someone’s house, listening to them tell you about their wine and process. Our group loved every minute and we bought a lot of wine !

나파밸리의 유명 와이너리 투어가 화려하긴 하지만 솔직히 너무 비싸다. 그에 비해 Hendry는 실속 있으면서도 합리적인 가격이다. 구글 평점 4.9는 아무나 얻을 수 있는게 아님. 강추합니다!!!

This winery Is a great place to start off your winery tour of Napa Valley. It’s very personal and they teach you the essence of selecting wine. Must book tour in advance and if you buy bottles from them they will waive off the tour fee which makes it a plus to go there!

Great experience. Terese was our host and guide. She was friendly, extremely enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. The wines were excellent!!! I suggest side stepping the commercial shake-down that some of the other wineries present and tour n taste at Hendri instead.

Real family vineyard, espectacular experience delicious wine. Cozy and wonderful. Tour it’s extraordinary here.

What a phenomenal experience! Signed up for a tasting, ended up getting a crash course in how to experience wine tasting, which was not overwhelming by any means. Great wine, great selection, willing to comp tasting fee with purchase. Highly recommend, especially as a first winery in Napa!

Incredible tour with Teres!! The wine was fantastic and the tour around the winery was personal and above expectations! The tour was $50 but they gave that back if you bought that much in wine. Well worth the experience!! Please please book way in advance, it is worth it!

I absolutely love this winery. We read about it in a guide and it happened to be near where we were staying, so we thought we'd give it a try. We turned up early without an appointment in the morning and luckily they happened to have two spaces for their 11am tasting event. We were warmly greeted by Tamara and she was an amazing hostess throughout - happy, funny, and light hearted. She made everyone in the group (3 pairs of strangers) feel comfortable together. The tasting was one of the best I've ever had across Sonoma, Napa and Hunter Valley (Australia). Very informative, fun, interesting and approachably scientific. Tamara really knows her stuff (about wines and the winery history), even though this was only the second tasting event for the winery. It is a great way to learn more about wine and wine tasting - especially those new to it. Even as someone who has done a fair few tastings, I left having learnt more! Their wines were impressive too - I love their oaked Chardonnay, the pinot noir, and the zinfandel and primitivo were decent too. The rose and albariño weren't for me though. The $30/person fee includes 8 different wines and is waived if you buy an equivalent amount in wine (as of June 2019) I highly recommend a visit if you can!!

This is a small family winery, the staff is eager to share their knowledge and show you how things are done on the vineyard. Compared to the other Napa Valley tours this one was the best experience I had as the hands on and intimate setting made for a great atmosphere, while providing the most information. If you are looking for a tour here, advanced reservations are required and its worth the cost.

설명이 친절하여 영어를 꼭 잘하진 않더라도 2시간 정도 되는 코스를 통해 여러가지를 배워가길 추천!! 와인도 가격대비 질이 정말 좋다 (그래서 4병 샀어요)(하루만에 2병 먹었어요)

We have now been two times and it is our FAVORITE.

Make sure to have appointment before you go there...

This was our first stop in Napa, and I will suggest anyone else to take this tour. Our goal was to learn about the wine making process from someone in the business before we toured some of the larger wineries. George Hendry led our tour and he has been hands on for decades at this family--owned winery. He was very informative and smart. He also was able to connect the science behind winemaking to how we taste. He also guided us how to serve wine at home and pair with food. Great job Hendry God bless your family and business!

This is my first wine tour and tasting. All the staff are very good and customer friendly. We were accompanied by the owner ‘George’, he has shared his experience and his knowledge in a very understandable way. We bought 4 bottles of good wine after tasting, no tour and tasting fee when you buy the bottles of that price. Thank you Hendry vineyard.

Great wines from a great winery. Tour and tastings - sometimes with the owner/winemaker. Very scientific and informative. Lovely setting too.

Napa is full of beautiful wineries but if you really want to cut through a lot of the marketing BS there is simply no better experience than the 3 hour wine seminar conducted by the brilliant and legendary Mr. George Hendry himself. The man knows farming and chemistry and I promise you after your first ten minutes you’ll quickly figure out that a lot of your assumptions about wine tasting and making are we’re just plain wrong. After much reflection on this, I’d have to say that this was the best wine tasting experience we had in our entire trip and I highly encourage a visit to anyone who wants to learn about the science of wine.

A great afternoon ! Wanting to learn more about the wine making process, the Hendry Wine Tour was fantastic. We reserved in the morning and took the last two spaces for the 2pm Tour. We had a short walk up to the vines where Therese explained a little about the Hendry family run winery and the production process. We then went indoors and the interesting discussion continued accompanied by the tasting of several different types of wine produced on the property. The wine was on the whole excellent and we ended up buying a few bottles! Highly recommend this tour.

Delicious wines from an amazing winemaker

Very knowledgeable and nice staffs who love to share. Good wine with reasonable price tag.

The best value experience in all of Napa-Sonoma has to be their Wine Seminar! The owner, George Hendry, gives a personal guided tour of the wine-making process where he explains everything from the soil to the last sip of a bottle. An incredibly intelligent man with several advanced degrees and research into how people actually taste food, he was able to explain complex concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. I consider myself moderately educated on wine, but I was still able to learn a considerable amount during the 3 hour tour! The seminar includes tasting of 8 or so fabulous wines that rival all the other great wine producers in the region. During the tasting he presents an in-depth experience to show how the wines differ and to explain what is happening biochemically when you taste the wine. It's exact and scientific without being too over the top if you don't have a strong science background (and if you do, he can certainly talk at that level as well!). The seminar was $75 a person, but the fee is waived with an equivalent purchase of wine. I thought the tour was well worth it on its own, but I was more than happy to bring some wine back to give my friends at home the 2 cent version of his tasting experience! It was the most enjoyable thing we did while we were in Napa-Sonoma, and I'd easily recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Great place for serious wine enthusiasts who are looking to learn and try new wines! - George - he seems a bit quiet and boring at first, but he's got a ton of energy and intelligence about creating wine. Throw anything at him and he fires back with awesome answers. - Perfect date/get-away spot - it's exclusive to about 8-12 people. They even rejected people that were trying to drop in. I respect that. - Fee = $20 - Free if you buy equivalent in wine. That's easy. I highly recommend the Zinfendel + Cabernets - 12 wine tastings + free crackers - you can get very buzzed from 12 tastings if you're not careful - 2.5 hour tour - filled with the whole history + creation of wine I am in no way a wine expert, but I enjoy learning about wine. This is a great place to stop by in Napa. I chose this over touristy spots with trams and caverns. Why? It's exclusive, respectful, and you learn a ton.

I learned more in 3 hours then I couldve ever hoped to know. George is a scientist at heart and he shows you the science behind the winemaking and why you taste what you do. Easily best tasting and tour you can do!

This was the first winery of the last day of 2017, our 7th visited overall. The reason why I selected this one was because of the impressive (almost perfect) Yelp reviews. I had never heard about this wine before, when we call to make the appointment they said that it should last around 3 hours. So we arrived at 10AM sharp, Mr. Hendry was entering too. The great thing about this place is how relaxing it’s and the personal touch by the owner himself. The wines are quite good, I didn’t liked the un-oak Chardonnay, and not so much the Zinfandel because it’s too sweet for my palate. But the oak Chardonnay, the RED (blend) and the Cabernet were above average to very good. Mr. Hendry takes an enormous time explaining the winemaking process as well as answering questions. If you are planning to do the private tasting/tour I suggest you to write down a few questions you may have so you don’t forget when you get immersed into this storyteller vintner! My downsides are; 1 – It would have been really nice to be greeted with a glass of chardonnay or any other white wine to cover the first hour of the visit while walking through the fermentation room, barrel room, etc. 2 – A little cheeses will be nice, they can even charge something extra for it. Here are my rating to all visited wineries by alphabetical order, for details on each one look for my reviews: Services – Quality of Wine – Overall Alpha Omega 5 5 5 Darioush 5 5 5 Duckhorn 1 3 2 Hendry Vineyard 5 4 4 Joseph Phelps 5 5 5+ Merryvale 5 4 5 Merus 5 5 5+ Ovid 5 5 5 Paraduxx 4 3 4 Rombauer 5 4 5+ Silver Oak 5 4 5 I do recommend coming here to learn the basics of winemaking and ask many questions, but be ready because Mr. Hendry is a neurology and he likes to study you while the tasting is going, so he direct everything from when to drink, the order to when to eat some crackers they served…

Great place and wine but the price is also high class.

The tour and wine tasting / tasting class is essential for anyone interested in wine. We were shown around by the owner who explained everything in an entertaining, charming and fascinating way. A special mention goes to the comedy duo, two resident dogs who followed us around. The wine tasting was the most interesting I've had. We carried out experiments in to the science of taste and tried some lovely wines. It was educational, delicious and fun. The cost of the tour and tasting was deducted from the cost of the wines we bought. Oh and I'm not related to the owners in case you think I'm a stooge.

I love this vineyard and their wine. Theresa, or T, gave us the best tasting experience. She was so informative and enthusiastic. I love the wines, they are always special. This vineyard is a must.

Exactly what you wanted from a tour in Napa Valley - get to see where it's made, how it's made, ask a thousand questions and taste some really good wine. Can even offset the cost of the tour with taking some of that wine home.

I love this winery. The owner of the winery led our tour. I highly recommend him and his knowledge of wines and the history lesson he can tell you. He reminds me of my farmer dad. Oh, and the wines are some of the best around and very reasonably priced for Napa!

Like a college education in wine making, pairings and tastings by your sweet grandfather. The best ever!!! And the wines....oh, the wines!!

The winery tour is by far the best I've ever had. They do almost everything from growing grapes to bottling, and the folks giving the tours are not hired help, they are the owners. The owners are scientists and engineers and can tell you everything from soil chemistry to the price of oak aging, etc. It was an eye-opening view into the world of wine. The tasting was great, as were their pairing suggestions. If you must do one tour of Napa, this is the one for the scientifically minded.

Fabulous tour. I learned more about winemaking and grape growing here than I have at any other winery. The tasting was extremely educational as well, and my wife and I learned what wines we truly like and why, as well as tips on tasting wines. Best thing is the cost of the tour goes towards your wine purchases there.

The people operating this winery are extremely intelligent and make great wine.

My wife and I attended the seminar tour, and it was just that. We learned more in 3 hours than we have learned in our lives. This experience puts you in a small group that tours the winery with the owner. Not many places do that! He teaches you the aspects of what makes a good wine and why that $50 bottle is priced the way it is. At the end of the tour is a tasting of 8-9 wines, in which he teaches you in detail why the wines taste the way they do. In addition, he also tells you how to properly pair items with food to make your food and wine taste at their best. If you thought you knew what to do before being taught here, you are likely mistaken or at least not fully aware. The wine itself is certainly delicious, maybe not the best we have had for the price, but close. This owner loves his craft so much that he works a regular job on top of his wine making to subsidize the vineyards, especially in tough times. His love for the craft shows in the wine and the learning experience of the tour. This is a must stop location for anyone visiting napa.

Our first stop and it couldn't have been a better place to start. Our group learned so much in the tour and tasting and we have all been drinking wine for a while. The Zin was excellent and the whites were crisp. A great place to visit.

We didn't take the tour, but this was the most informative tasting we have ever attended. And it was fun. Wines were good and quite inexpensive. $18-$35 range. Very drinkable now. If you thought wine pairings with certain foods was by tradition, you will be amazed by the genetics and biochemistry involved. We learned a lot and enjoyed the lessons. Reservations are required and don't show up late.

All around, best winery experience we had in Napa. It's difficult to put into words the feeling of knowledge you get when touring the estate with Jeff. We visited the Ranch on a nearly perfect day in early March, and were taken back by the education and warm welcome we received. It's very clear that Hendry is driven by passion. When you find out that two of the individuals that play a large role in the operations of the Ranch build Cyclotrons (Particle Accelerators) as a day job - the ultimate fusion of old world traditions and new world engineering is exposed. I won't ruin the tour for anyone, but they did two things that we didn't experience any other place. The tasting at the end of the tour included all wines they had available (we tasted 11 wines), and they used olive oil to simulate "Fat" in a steak and showed the group how they heavier Cabernet Sauvignon changed after you ate a cracker with olive oil on it. It was truly an eye-opening experience for our table. Joined their wine club, not because of the amazing tour or the fantastic people...but because they had the best tasting Cab Sauv and Red Bordeaux Blend we had the pleasure of trying. Don't miss it.
