Turnbull Wine Cellars currently has an exhibit of 18th century bird prints (hand colored etchings and lithographs)...many by John James Audubon. They are beautifully framed and displayed. If this was at the Legion of Honor in SF there would be a fee and lines. A temporary exhibit well worth the visit.

First time in Napa and Turnbull was our first stop. Arrived here shortly after noon and it wasn't very busy but picked up soon after. The place is not very big, however cozy. The guy wasn't too friendly initially but warmed up to us and was very receptive every time I went back for another tasting. Its quite so easy... More

Great local winery located half way up the valley. They have two tasting rooms, one for their regular bottlings and the other is the "reserve room". The reserve room is also where they display their art. Not to be missed and tastings are very reasonable as compared to other wineries. Same for their wine prices! Check out local publications for...

Turnbull Winery is right on Highway 29, just north of the Oakville Grocery (currently being remodeled!). It has two levels of tasting rooms and a phenomenal collection of major black and white photographers that make the tasting more like a stroll through a wonderful photography museum. Peter Heitz, the winemaker is turning out some incredible wines at moderate prices. The... More

A friend of mine used to work here, so I went to taste some of their wines. Everything I tasted was wonderful. It's a very small little tasting room-very intimate.

Unfortunately we couldn't find any wine here that we liked, the grounds were nice to walk around though. The tasting fee was rather high at $15 and it didn't help that the man pouring our tasting was rather pretentious and rude.

I like to rank wineries of the Napa Valley after I visit them, and my rating system has five stars for the top ratingings of taste, location and personality. I put pins on my wine tasting map making the locations and the rank. At Turnbull, they achieved my five star, but I decided to create another category for estate wineries... More
