Chandon - YOUNTVILLE

My wife and I have visited Napa several times and always end our day by enjoying a glass of bubbly at this restaurant. Last week, during a group trip with 6 people, I called ahead to inquire about COVID restrictions. I was informed that we could only purchase a glass or bottle of champagne (except on Mondays) if we participated in a complete tasting. I made a reservation for the following Thursday, which cost $379 (including tax and mandatory 18% gratuity). While we enjoyed the tasting and our waitress did a great job, we were surprised to see another table only enjoying cocktails without having to do a tasting. They arrived after us and were still seated after we left. Upon returning home, I contacted the restaurant's concierge to request a partial reimbursement, but was informed that all customers around us had reservations for a tasting and it was not possible to only purchase single glasses or cocktails without participating. My request for reimbursement was denied. It seems like more of a money issue rather than a COVID protocol. The restaurant is beautiful and the champagne is good, but we are unsure if we will return.

This restaurant is popular among influencers for its unique charm and modern tasting room. I visited on a Monday during a special bubble bar event, where we were served individual dishes instead of a tasting. Reservations are a must as they often have to turn away guests who show up without one. As the winery belongs to Moet Chandon, known for their sparkling wines, it was no surprise that many of the products tasted similar to Dom Perignon. Overall, everything was good, but the Mt Veeder sparkling wines stood out as the best among the selection.

This was the highlight of our trip and had great wein and service.

Great relaxing place to sect. they give military/veterans rabatt.

Awesome tasting. Very friendly staff. Generous pours and extra tastings. Best experience in Napa.
