Napa Cellars tasting room is located in the Oakville section off Highway 29.  This is a small tasting room that serves wines from both Napa Cellars and Folie à Deux.  The tasting room is located inside of a small dome-shaped building.  There is a pathway to left of the tasting room that leads to a picnic area in the back.  There’s a little fountain out front.  I felt this place had more of a fun, social atmosphere and is probably not the best option for true wine enthusiasts.  Most of the wines they were pouring when I visited are widely distributed in my area, so it was a bit of a disappointment to me that I wasn’t able to sample something I hadn’t tried before. 

The tasting bar inside the tasting room is in the center of the room.  There are gifts and wine along the walls of room.  We had an Australian guy for our server and he was talking about moving to Colorado to do some snowboarding.  We had already tried some of the wines before visiting.  I stopped in mostly because I was curious if they would be serving anything I couldn’t find back home.  The tasting menu was pretty basic.  On the plus side, the wines are very reasonably priced between $10 to $32.  There is a nice little hang-out area outside.  I’d say that this may be good for a quick stop with friends at the end of day.  It is open a little later than the majority of other tasting rooms.   For me, it’s another tasting room to check off my list but not one I’d go back to.
