There is something very liberating about ditching your itinerary and letting your day in Napa Valley wine country unfold on its own. Walk-in wine tastings give you the ability to choose your adventure through Napa Valley as you explore different tasting rooms, wine varietals, and delicious food pairing experiences. While it has become more difficult to find walk-in wine tasting options in the Napa Valley, there are still plenty that exist, and the family-owned Clif Family winery is one to have on your radar.
Clif Family Tasting Room
Located in St. Helena, right in the heart of the Napa Valley, the Clif Family Tasting Room offers something for everyone. Spontaneous wine lovers can walk in and enjoy a tasting flight of seasonal wine and food pairings or a glass of wine with lunch from our award-winning Bruschetteria Food Truck. Alternatively, guests who prefer to plan ahead can make a reservation to enjoy a fully immersive food and wine tasting experience with us. No matter how you visit us, our friendly team of wine educators will make sure you have a memorable Napa Valley Winery experience.Our tasting experiences highlight our organically farmed Napa Valley wines, paired with seasonal food bites created by our culinary team. They are fortunate to be able to use the bounty of produce that we grow on our organic Napa Valley farm to offer creative wine pairings that are delicious with everything from our popular Unoaked Chardonnay (we recommend this one with the Polenta Tots) to our juicy Gary’s Improv Zinfandel.Whether you are out and about for an adventurous Napa Valley afternoon or you are just looking for a low-key lunch spot and great wine, Clif Family is the perfect walk-in tasting stop for you. We think wine and food should be fun, approachable, and delicious, and we are waiting to share that with you!Walk-ins Welcome!Learn more about all our experiences.
