A small tasting fee of $15 will seem very reasonable while you are gazing at the vineyard’s gardens and the Mayacama Mountains from the porch. Visitors are welcome at Frog’s Leap Napa Valley from Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm, and the tasting will follow a guided tour of the vineyards and winery. A seated tasting on the winery’s wrap-around porch features four wines.

This tour will be much more casual and laid-back than other Napa Valley wine tours. The best way to enjoy the wines at Frog’s Leap is with a guided tour of the vineyards. In 2017, the Frog's Leap Cabernet has a bit more depth and richness, as it often does in warmer years. Frogs Leap was an early advocate of organic farming and in 1988 became the first certified organic winery in Napa Valley. Aged in oak barrels, John Williams says these wines are made to satisfy. Wine Critic Antonio Galloni recently awarded it 95 points and shared The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is such a gorgeous wine. The grapes and wine are handled minimally, allowing natural processes to create the flavor of the wines.

A passion for the pleasure of wine is clearly highlighted at Frog’s Leap Napa Valley, where the Williams family seeks to showcase the three characteristics of the local terroir: soil, climate, and circumstance. Wines at Frog’s Leap are all made from organically grown grapes, and traditional winemaking techniques are then employed.
