Comfortable Consumptions at McKenzie-Mueller

If casual wine tasting is your style, pack the jean shorts and grab a light sweater as you head off to McKenzie Mueller Vineyards & Winery.

Nestled in beautiful Napa, McKenzie Mueller is a family-owned winery with dogs to boot! You can park once you pass the private house and be sure to head around back towards the tasting room.

Julius Mueller, a third-generation Napan, and son of namesake Robert Mueller offer family tales and wine bits galore! Having grown up around the family winery, Julius could tell you a thing or two about the land, the grapes on the land, and even the history of his family on that land. During our visit, we tried about 12 wines. Be sure to pace yourself-the road is long and delicious! I especially enjoyed the not-too-buttery Chardonnay.

This winery is definitely a must-see for anyone that loves the “talking with an old friend” feeling. Or, anyone that wants a new tasting experience without feeling that experience in their pocketbook! The tasting fee is $15.00 per person, but they will waive that if you purchase a bottle…or two.

Tastings are available daily and by appointment from 10 am to 4 pm. Visit www.mckenziemueller.com for more information.
