Takes place in our open kitchen, COVID guidelines permitting. If state/local guidelines only allow for outdoor tasting experiences, this experience will take place on our patio.

Casual. This experience begins with a walking tour of the property, so comfortable shoes are recommended
Upon arrival to the winery, walk up the gravel path that leads to the building from the parking lot and a staff member will welcome you.
This experience takes place rain or shine. Tours will be adjusted accordingly.
Our take
Brian Arden is a small, family-owned and operated winery. This experience lets you get to know the staff and feel like you are part of the family!
The food rivals that of the best Napa Valley restaurants. We’ve often been told it was the best meal our guests had during their stay in the Napa Valley.
The open kitchen setting is a unique experience. You get to interact with the chef and ask anything about his cooking techniques or even favorite Napa Valley experiences!
Tips
We produce over 10 varieties of wine. Take a look at our list and ask your host to try a specific variety that you are interested in if it is not on the tasting menu.
We will also not be accommodating any dietary preferences or restrictions. We only have one Chef now in the kitchen, and until we hire another it is too difficult for him to make accommodations.
This experience includes a substantial amount of food, please come hungry! All food and wine is included in tour price.
