I booked a last minute trip to Napa, I looked up a few wineries and came across Browns which had amazing reviews so I was excited to go. I read on the website reservations are recommended, BUT will accommodate walk-in if possible, it was only two of us so we wanted to try our luck, I read a few other reviews where parties were accommodated. We show up around 1:30 on a Saturday, it was very difficult to find we actually had some locals show us where the place was, no signs showing where the business is until you open a door with just an address on it. We go up and we’re greeted by a gentleman who was a little dry, maybe over the day a little bored, we told him we didn’t have reservations and that I had read on the website walks in were welcome. He told us they couldn’t accommodate us because they don’t take walk in on Fridays or Saturdays. My only problem was that it was only 5-7 ladies in there it wasn’t overly crowded and again it was only two of us. With that being said I guess they pick and choose who they want to accommodate...

My wife and I recently visited Brown Winery in Downtown Napa, CA, and it quickly became our favorite winery during our entire trip to Napa. The experience was truly exceptional from start to finish.

The staff at Brown Winery went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and special. They even surprised my wife with a "Happy Birthday!" card and thanked us for coming, which made our visit even more memorable. The personalized touch was deeply appreciated.

The wines were exquisite, each offering a unique and delightful flavor profile. The knowledgeable staff guided us through the tasting, sharing interesting insights about each wine and the winery's history.

The winery's ambiance was charming and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Thank you to Brown Winery for making our visit so special. We highly recommend this winery to anyone visiting Napa—it's a must-visit!
