Had a wonderful tasting experience! We were first greeted by Isaias with some refreshing rose. Then he seated us outside in the courtyard. Jason our host was very informative about all of the wines and history of the property and each vineyard. I hadn’t visited since the remodel and it is stunning! Highly recommend visiting. I cannot wait to go back to experience a different tasting experience! Bought some magnums today enjoy over the holidays!

Sophia is such a fun wine educator! We have been tasting here so many times that she would not tell us what she was pouring / we had to confer and guess. Brought new life and competition to the day. Always fun but did not overshadow the great wines!

Nice views but service is really slow on the patio. Insights into the wine are more limited compared to other vineyards but the cab tasting is pretty nice. Would recommend as a later stop in your tasting, but not worth a full trip in my opinion.

MARKHAM VINEYARDS is one of the oldest wineries in Napa Valley which began in 1874 as a cooperative. In 1977 Bruce Markham bought it and renamed it “Markham,” and then in 1988, it was bought by a Japanese company. Our experience felt very commercialized and "corporate."
During our visit, we tasted only low-production wines. The rosé of Pinot Noir had nice, bright acidity with strawberry and floral undertones. The reds, all single-varietal estate-grown wines, offered dark, ripe fruit with firm tannins, which balanced out nicely as the wines opened up. You can purchase similar wines from stores nationwide which are listed on the winery’s website.
Overall, I found the experience to be unremarkable. Want to learn more about wineries and restaurants in Napa Valley and beyond? Follow me on Instagram @TravelgalCathy415.

Beautiful tasting room and wonderful wines! We loved that the tasting room consultants would come to the table and sit down and talk with you (instead of over you) with just the right amount of explanations about what we were drinking. Modern and cool and will definitely return!

Outstanding experience! Sophia (sofia) spent so much time with us explaining the ins and outs of Markham with us. Her knowledge of wine and her company is impressive. I can’t wait to order some wines once we are home and continue learning. Thank you so much Sophia (Sofia)! Cecilia and Sebastiano

Spent the morning /afternoon at Markham with Scott H as our host. Scott was knowledgeable and easy going and by the end of the tasting we were all family!

Not only was the wine at the vineyard delicious, the staff was incredible. My husband and I were on vacation and someone hit our car right outside the vineyard on our way to breakfast. We had not planned to check this winery out, but since we had to wait for a tow truck, we decided to visit. The staff members were all so friendly and accommodating to us. So many different employees went out of their way to check on us. After a bad morning dealing with the rental company and tow company, they really helped turn our day around with their kindness. I would recommend this place highly.

Scott was super nice and so welcoming. This was our first wine tasting experience and he made it a positive one at that. He is so well informed and always encouraged questions. I used the code WINEWITHPAIGE to get a discount on the wine tasting and we basically had the whole place to ourselves. It was absolutely a dream. Thank You Markham Vineyards. We will be recommending you to everyone we meet!

We always have a great time when we visit. Sophia is amazing, and we feel like she’s part of our family. Warm, funny and puts up with our shenanigans. That woman is a true gem. <3Everyone makes us feel welcome. Can’t wait to go back!

Scotty is an absolute delight! He has so much knowledge, is entirely engaging, and kind. We enjoyed our tasting with him and the wine is phenomenal! The 2020 Chardonnay & 2018 Merlot, Little Canyon Vnyd. are must haves

Such a wonderful way to end our day of wine tasting in St Helena!
Scottie, our wine educator, was so informative and entertaining as he led us through our wine experience! The setting was very modern and bright with great tables set up for everyone to enjoy their tasting. There is also a beautiful bar to snuggle up to to enjoy your wines! I would totoally recommend Markham and Scottie!
