This castle took 30 years to complete, and it's huge. Get the guided tour and sample reserve wines & do a barrel tasting! Add on a chocolate pairing for only $5 more. One of the best tours we went on.

Large, lovely winery. While it can get very, very crowded, the $25 entrance fee (which includes tastings of 4-5 wines) is quite a good value compared to many in the area. Beautiful castle setting.

If ur just visiting and not a wine enthusiast this is a great place to visit.. 35USD for a tour inside the castle and brewery and 5 wines to taste.. We love the area and scenery is beautiful!

Definitely worth checking out once in your life. Pretty nifty castle to walk around for free, but it is worth paying $19 for 5 wine tastings.

Wow! I can't say how magnificent this place is. It's big outside and even bigger underground. You have to do the tour here and don't forget to call to make a reservation. The tour is so worth it!!!
Katie GallagherApril 19, 2013
You must do the tour! This place is so romantic, beautiful photos everywhere! Our guide Damian Uriarte was FANTASTIC! Funny and full of information! The wines are delicious and grape juice to die for!
Melissa SDecember 1, 2017
The guided tour and reserve tasting is awesome. We came here in the end of November and was lucky enough to have a private tour because it was just us. Jamie aka Mario was amazing as our guide!

Tourist trap but beautiful location and the wines weren’t the best but also not bad. Our wine connoisseur, Ashley, was amazing and so sweet! She made the experience great.
Katie HelmanJuly 24, 2016
The first stop on the wine trolley and the tour was included. Make sure to ask for Chris to give you the tour. He is very knowledgable and a great tour guide.
JoshJanuary 21, 2017
Good wine and amazing views. The castle tour is worth the price. A must-see in Napa. Getting the passport is also worth it to save money on tastings from several wineries.

Take the Calistoga shuttle for $1 or free from Calistoga hotels. Download the “ride the vine app” to schedule a pickup to all Calistoga wineries including the Castle. Way more efficient than Uber

One of the best spots in Napa. Take a tour of the castle and enjoy the views. I recommend the Cabernet Sauvignon.
J A KasilagJuly 5, 2012
The view is amazing. I love the sweet wines especially the La Fantasia. My daughter loved the grape juice as well. Next time, we'll do the full tour and visit the dungeon =)

Ensure that you seek out Patrick as your host for your tasting.He went above and beyond for our group and paired deep knowledge with a fantastic personality and warmness.
Chennel WilsonJanuary 10, 2015
Gorgeous Castle with lovely details. Patrick our tour guide was awesome. La Fantasia is amaaaaazing. Walked out with 3 bottles 😌
Gina O.October 22, 2014
So worth the trip. Beautiful views, good staff & good tastings. And wait, what? A torture chamber?!?! Crazy & fun. Did I mention the views?? & the goid wines? Would love to come back.
Jeremy KrantzAugust 14, 2014
The property and castle are huge. Gets a bit crowded but definitely upgrade to a premium tasting. Staff is knowledgable. Wines are decent albeit expensive. Scenic and romantic.
WineryCriticOctober 17, 2013
Make sure you allocate at least 2 hours for the tour. Nice idea to upgrade to the reserve tasting or do the cheese plate! Love the reserve room
Raina SharmaMay 25, 2015
Elusive castle view. Guide tour is a must to explore the winery. Carry something to eat if u plan to spend some time.
Nitzan BOctober 11, 2019
Really nice castle ground with nice options and meals if you're interested. The wine was incredible and walk around the ground was lovely
Rafael RappDecember 19, 2017
Beautiful look like castle building with wine tour and tasting. Pricey tough... surroundings have a amazing view.
Shelly ZordichAugust 20, 2014
Take a tour! It's very cool and you get to have your wine tasting in a special bar at the end. The castle is a great place to spend an afternoon!
Angel FuMarch 31, 2015
One of the must go wine tours in Napa. Love their Merlot and Cab. And of course, you love sparking wines, definitely try their La Fantasia.
Loveland LocalJanuary 15, 2013
This castle is as cool on the inside as the outside. Some wine snobs don't care for the Disneyland-ish facade, but unless your a super snob you'll likely enjoy the extravagant architecture.
Brad DOctober 13, 2013
The castle and tasting room are pretty cool - very picturesque. Unless you are really wanting a tour, just get the tasting tickets and walk the ground yourself with the map they give you.
Jan MickelMay 30, 2019
The “General Admission” ticket is kind of a mixed bag, access to many interesting areas is restricted to guided tours, however the wine tasting (choose 5 out of ca 20) itself is a good experience.
Tiara DelachevrotiereSeptember 30, 2012
Definitely pay for the tour. You get to go into secret areas. Buy the chocolate & wine tasting package. Great & unusual place!
Christopher PestanoApril 27, 2015
Winery with an authentic Castle! Insist on trying the "Il Barone" wine even if it's not part of your tasting flight.
Priya SaiprasadNovember 30, 2013
We keep going back for the to die for La Fantasia sparkling wine! If you're into something sweet and refreshing, you won't look past this one!
DanNovember 4, 2011
When doing the wine tasting with your spouse, be sure to choose different wines to taste. They give you the option of giving a splash for each one. After trying 10 different wines we were very happy!
PapsAugust 23, 2019
My favorite vineyard in Napa! So much history and delicious wine
Pavan KulkarniMay 23, 2016
Got the reserve wine with chocolate upgrade. Pretty good castle with lot of wine paraphernalia
Adam HickeyMay 28, 2012
The $33 tour is well worth it! Not only do you learn about the history of the castle, you get to enjoy a tasting of five wines at the end.
Jenna WojciechowskiJuly 30, 2012
We had Tim as a tour guide and he was excellent! I now look at trying new wines in a whole new way!
Brian LAugust 6, 2015
Beautiful building and the underground tasting rooms have great ambiance for trying a wide range of wines.
Tessa MalayanAugust 4, 2014
Amazing views and awesome castle. All staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend cheese and wine tastings.
Marisa FernandezApril 27, 2017
The wine is amazing! Try the moscato! Absolutely delicious! ❤️
TalyaSeptember 25, 2019
Crowded and touristy but good wines and great views. Good tour to do with a group.
Karolina 🦖February 15, 2016
Fantastic place - great for families with children or pets. I also loved the wine tasting part at the end.
Brisena RiveraJanuary 6, 2016
Best winery ever!!! Lots of wine and the tour was very fun. Gary the guide was great!!
Sasha TkachenkoFebruary 12, 2015
You can spend a whole day there with your friends or family.
LaLa C.November 19, 2012
If you're a dessert wine lover, grab yourself a bottle of La Fantasia. This venue would also be perfect for a small wedding. Little Fairy Tale castle.
Joseph LegastoJune 3, 2018
Torture chamber and sweet wine all in one great castle
John CassilloJuly 4, 2017
Great scenery, but rules, lines and prices basically make it Disneyland for wine. Head elsewhere for a better experience and day out.
Rico PaboritoApril 1, 2015
Nice and affordable tour just hope u get lucky to get an accommodating wine "salesman". The one we had was an a-hole!
Chio InfanteJanuary 10, 2015
Fantasia.... A must try if you go wine tasting!! They have organic soaps in the gift shop that smell amazing!!
Michee LeeApril 13, 2014
If you plan to go on the weekend, aim for an early afternoon spot before it gets really busy with tourists later on
cristina carreteroSeptember 1, 2014
Vincenzo was amazing! Loved all the wines especially the reds!
