VGS Chateau Potelle Winery — Attraction in St. Helena

Five stars is not enough. VGS Chateau Potelle was the absolute highlight of our Napa Girls Weekend. Beautiful tasting room and garden . All the little details elevated the experience high above the other tasting rooms we visited. Learning about the history of VGS Chateau Potelle, the owner and the cool meaning behind the acronym, VGS, the placemat with the food pairing suggestions, the food not only looked beautiful, the taste was incredible along with the explanation from our host Tony on why each wine pairs with the food selections. As an inexperienced wine drinking group, our host, Tony walked us through everything you need to know, from what and why each wine has different distinct scents and tastes, the selection of different glasses used and what difference each makes in the wine drinking experience. Last but definitely not least, Tony was the most incredible host. His personality made our time at VGS educational, entertaining and definitely unforgettable. Tony you were definitely a big part of my five star review and I’ll even give you a few more here⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can only hope that VGS wine will one day be...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting VGS and I can't say enough great things about my experience! Due to a mix-up, I accidentally booked our reservation for the wrong day. However, the staff was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we could still enjoy our visit.

A special shoutout to Luis, who provided us with exceptional service. His knowledge of the wines and the winemaking process was impressive, and he made us feel right at home. Luis was attentive and genuinely passionate about the wines, which made our tasting experience even more enjoyable.

As for the wine and food, they were absolutely amazing! Each wine we tasted was a delightful reflection of the local terroir, and the food pairing elevated the experience even more. It was clear that the team at VGS is dedicated to providing top-notch quality.

VGS in St. Helena completely exceeded our expectations—we’d been wanting to visit for ages, and finally made it in last minute. We were lucky enough to be hosted by Cathy, and she made the experience one of the best tastings we’ve ever had in all our years coming to wine country.

Cathy walked us through the wines with so much knowledge and warmth—she covered the history of the winery, the unique terroir, and even had us compare the same wine in different glasses, which added a whole new layer of nuance. It was thoughtful, detailed, and totally engaging, but also just a genuinely fun time.

The whole team at VGS was super welcoming and easy to talk to. It felt less like a formal tasting and more like hanging out with people who are deeply passionate about what they do—and who are really good at it.

We left feeling like we’d had a truly special experience—something deeper than the usual pour-and-go tastings. Couldn’t recommend it more if you’re planning a trip to Napa. It’s the kind of place that sticks with you, and we’ll...
