Far Niente 
Wineries / Breweries, Oakville
Fodor's Review:
Though the fee for the combined tour and tasting is one of the highest in the valley, Far Niente is especially worth visiting if you're tired of elbowing your way through crowded tasting rooms and are looking for a more personal experience. Here you're welcomed by name and treated to a glimpse of one of the most beautiful Napa properties. Small groups are shepherded through the historic 1885 stone winery for a session on the labor-intensive method for making Far Niente's well-regarded cabernets and chardonnays. The next stop is the Carriage House, where you can see the founder's gleaming collection of classic racecars. The tour ends with a seated tasting of wines and cheeses, capped by a sip of the spectacular Dolce, a late-harvest dessert wine made by Far Niente's sister winery.
