We had such a lovely and authentic experience at Lola. It’s a charming and inviting place that welcomes you in, and then friendly folks take over and you become part of the family as you taste and learn about their wines and process from growing/pruning in select vineyards to how they barrel and bottle for what they are achieving. Seth, Rafa and Marley make you feel welcome and a part of a close knit family. Rafa’s art and creative expression is evident everywhere you look and turn in this charming place. It’s rare to walk in to such a place in Napa Valley in these times of the large/opulent/statement projects that are impressive but not as authentic as the experience you can have if your are lucky to sit down in the same room as the growers, winemaker, and proprietors of a label that they are happy to share in their own genuine way one on one.

Often Seth himself will come into the LOLA house to hang out and pour tastings, which is a very amazing experience. If you are REALLY lucky Lola (the dog and real boss) will be there to greet you at your visit.

I highly recommend you put LOLA on your list for your visit! ❤️Great Wine, Great Tasting...
