We had a wine tasting and tour with Laura. Booked day before. She was so relatable, knowledgeable and interesting. It was the best tour experience we’ve had in Napa. The grounds and property, including the courtyard and restaurant, are gorgeous. 10/10 would recommended. The wine was amazing!

Did the Sensory experience at Brasswood Cellars and it was awesome. Definitely helps with the wine experience. Josh was a fantastic host and when our 2nd winery visit called and cancelled due to a power outage, Josh helped finding a replacement. One of our favorite winery stops in Napa Valley!
