The views are beautiful and the service is nice if you are white or a dog. It seemed straight out of a movie. We were there 1.5 hours and did not receive water. We asked for water twice while seated for our tasting. Given how hot it was, we finally went up and very politely asked if we could have water and were told, verbatim: โif we can get to it, we will bring you water.โ That alone if they were busy could be okay, though I would have preferred it to be said in kinder words. However, the following things happened to our neighboring tasters: (1) One group was sipping on their wine enjoying and twice were asked, โwould you like water?โ To which one time they said yes and one time they did not need a refill. (2) One group had the cutest dogs for which the servers not only found time to bring water to once but multiple times throughout our visit. There were other things that happened during the visit that werenโt great but it reminded of us a movie scene where a sign said โno Mexicans, no dogsโ and ultimately they had to update the sign because dogs were soon allowed. Bitter humor but it really reminded us of that especially considering we were the only group with people of color....
ย ย ย Read moreMy wife and I visited Napa Valley for our Honeymoon. There was a day where we were not sure which winery we wanted to go to, and we couldn't be happier that we stumbled across Foley Johnson Winery! Out of all the wineries we visited across Napa Valley, this one was by far our absolute favorite. The casual feel and enthusiasm of the staff made for a great change of pace. I will be recommending it to anyone I know that is visiting the area. During our visit we had to pleasure of spending the day with Phil. His knowledge of Foley Johnson, their wines, and the area in general is awesome. He was able to explain everything to us in great detail, and even let us see some of the behind the scenes production that all takes place onsite! Phil is the man, and I would highly recommend stopping by and paying him a visit the first chance you get! We signed up to become members and shipped wine back home because it was the best we had throughout our trip. The wine across the board was fantastic. Our visit to Foley Johnson made our Honeymoon, and I recommend anyone who is in the area, visiting, or just happens to drive by to...
ย ย ย Read moreMy husband and I were in Napa last weekend celebrating 10 years together and made the spontaneous decision to check out Foley Johnson Winery. Thanks to a stellar recommendation from their neighbors at Sequoia Grove after our tasting there, we headed Foley Johnson's way. Walking up to the winery was so lovely, especially with the fall foliage all around. They grow a lot (if not most) of their grapes on property, which I thought was pretty cool. Every wine we tried was very good! The reds were my fav!
The service here is one to mention. They took us as a walk in and still treated us with the same care as someone who made reservations months ago. Our host, Tyson, was super cool to talk to, especially with his extensive knowledge of wine and the Napa Valley region. The customer service he provided to us and other guests around us was superb. He did a great job at balancing all of us without making people feel shorted of time or info...
