Honestly, I wish I could say the winery was friendly. To be fair, it may have been just one terrible host. My husband and I went there a couple of years ago and were treated absolutely horribly. We were basically ignored and left after 15 minutes. The host was super nice to everybody else but treated us and another couple... more

We had a great wine tasting experience at Frank Family - staff was informative, humorous, and friendly. We got sent to 2 tasting bars actually - the first bar is to taste their sparklings (3 of them) and the second bar is to taste their one Chardonnay and then 4 - 5 different reds. All their wines were very good,... more

We visited in Summer 2007 - Yes the tasting room does not look its best - that because a new one is being built - we found the staff to be very friendly and entertaining - when one customer asked about all of the construction outside the pourer deadpanned that they were building a trailer park outside - the customer... more

Several people recommended the Frank Family Vineyard to my friend and I when we visited a view weeks ago and we thought it was a great stop on our tour of Napa Valley. While the tasting rooms aren't much to see we found the wine educators on hand so informative. I feel like we learned more here than any of... more

I agree with previous negative postings of Frank Family Vineyards. The wine is so-so, the tasting room could be a portable office building, and the staff is very rude. They are very proud of their existing customers, which is a good thing because they will not get any future business from my friends or family. Don't bother to stop. more

A group of us (15) had arranged for a tasting at the vineyard for my friends birthday. They were expecting us but acted as if we were the most major inconvenience. They insisted we taste as a group and no one could wander off. We all had to get our pours at exactly the same time or get yelled at.... more

The staff was friendly and helpul. The wines were great. The tasting was free. I enjoyed this much better than the large wineries. It was not as elegant as some of the others, but the "down-hominess" of the staff more than made up for that. I plan to return on my next Napa visit. more

This is one of the rare occasions where I find my experience to be in stark contrast to the existing TripAdvisor rating. Frank Family was a poor experience. The wine was far from spectacular. The tasting room felt like an aged portable building on a construction site. The staff was preoccupied discussing local scandals. The tasting was free, and good... more

I've been to Napa/Sonoma a total of 5 times. I had an excellent time each visit. One of those times I went to Frank Family Vineyards with a group of 5 other friends. We were very impressed with their bubbly, wine (especially the Chardonnay) and tour, but we were blown away by their friendliness. Hands down, the favorite of the... more
