Robert Mondavi

Fodor's Review:

The arch at the center of the sprawling Mission-style building at Robert Mondavi perfectly frames the lawn and the vineyard behind, inviting a stroll under the lovely arcades. If you've never been on a winery tour before, the comprehensive 70- to 90-minute tour, followed by a seated tasting, is a good way to learn about oenology, as well as Robert Mondavi's role in California winemaking. You can also head straight for one of the two tasting rooms. Serious wine lovers should definitely consider springing for the $30 reserve room tasting, where you can enjoy four generous tastes of Mondavi's top-of-the-line wines, including the reserve cabernet that cemented the winery's reputation. Concerts, mostly jazz and R&B, take place in summer on the lawn; call ahead for tickets.

  • Cost: Tasting $10-$30, tour $25
  • Open: Daily 10-5; tours daily on the hr 10-4
