We were referred to Prime Solum & Expression 38° and had a wonderful experience. Brianna hosted us on the patio and was so low key and knowledgeable about their wines, the industry, local dining options and happenings in the valley. We had a choice of 2-3 different tastings and chose the Prime Solum signature tasting and the Expression 38 pinot noirs. Tasting included some snacks and the bonus???? you can order foodie sando's so you taste the wines with food AND not get blotto! The Napa Barn is so low key and comfortable. Book your tasting now!
Boy was this place wonderful! Elana took good care of us by explaining the wines we sampled (great flights), including why they still like to serve older vintages of whites. We had some tasty bites to add to the experience. Will definitely return!
Had an amazing tasting with David! He was so knowledgeable about the wines, the vineyards up the road and beyond! Excellent representation of Napa Valley red wines, some single vineyard; Cabernet, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot... Without having to drive there, tasted some of Anderson Valleys finest vineyard's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Truly a special experience, completely relaxing atmosphere, and no pressure sales. They really just want you to enjoy your experience, hear about all the great projects their wine makers are working on from top notch vineyards showcasing some of the best those varietals have to offer. I really appreciate that they've aged the wine and pour what is showing best NOW, taking the guess work out of aging wine to perfection. You can buy something that is perfectly aged to drink NOW. Open a 2010 Cabernet that will blow your socks off-or someone else's- TONIGHT, not ten years from now!!!! Who else is doing that in the valley?Bonus: there are 2 other wineries sharing the barn space in separate sections. Plan to stay a while!Pro tip for those on a budget or looking for multiple experiences in one area, this location is (paved, accessible) walking distance to other really great wineries and art galleries to minimize the need for transportation! Very Napa Valley.
My husband and I visited Prime Solum for their tasting last weekend and had a fantastic time. Elana was super accommodating and helpful and we really enjoyed the cozy and laid back environment. We sat outside at sunset and shared the charcuterie plate and it could not have been more perfect. Highly recommend.
What a great wine tasting find! We are Bay Area locals and made a last minute trip to Napa and stayed at the Meritage Hotel and Spa. We were seeking a good wine tasting spot nearby and found Prime Solum on a random search and we couldn’t have been happier. The group really enjoyed the Pinot Noir expression 38 2011 - a real surprise on the complexity and drinkability (is that a word). What really made this place special was the staff - very friendly and they understand a tasting should be about the customer experience more than anything! Junior was a delight and our group enjoyed the tasting he provided and the whole personality of the place. This place is the “child winery” of the vineyard developer William Hill - which means delicious local wines. Also the Bordeaux was bold and tasty! Something for everyone in Napa looking for a casual yet refined wine tasting experience.
Wow! Some of the best Pinots I’ve tasted. Great hospitality. Comfortable, casual setting.
I liked this place alot. Very inviting and comfortable. It had an outdoor shaded patio with comfychairs so we could sit outside and bring our dog. The staff was also incredibly helpful and friendly. We were recommended this place by another nearby vineyard and were thrilled by the experiance.
Very informative and warming
Can’t say enough about this place. Don’t let the outside fool you. This is a gem. Elana and her husband David put their hearts and souls into this place. Wonderful wines and bites. Attentive and gracious service. Fine art is everywhere in Elana’s artwork David’s food and Bill Hill’s wonderful wine. First class. Can’t wait to return.
