About the Business
Established in 1982. Jess Jackson, visionary winemaker and founder of our company, was noted for popularizing Chardonnay with his Kendall-Jackson Winery and was one of the most successful independent winery owners in the world. Known for his fearless, iconoclastic approach to business, Jackson became one of the world's most successful self-made men by taking chances in businesses that were anything but a sure thing. He started first by selecting grapes from the best vineyards in California and turning them into a small bottling of Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve that soon became the most popular Chardonnay in America.

I am interested in coming for Mother's Day to picnic. Can I bring my dog a Bichon?

They are dog friendly for outside seating. I brought my dog when I did a food & wine pairing a few months ago and we were on outside patio. Mine is a miniature Dachshund Whippet mixed about the size of a min pin. This was when they could only serve… more

This Chardonnay was my 1st celebration wine for any milestone!!! Absolutely ecstatic to have a tasting experience with Dina!!! Learned the amazing history of Kendall Jackson- breathtaking grounds!! We tried SO many great wines from all of their regional coastal vineyards.
Highly recommend Dina!!!! The cheese plate add was a perfect compliment.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Mar 5, 2024
We went here for my friend who is a white wine drinker and she has put up with her red wine drinking friends all weekend. We have always associated KJ with white wines and were pleasantly surprised by their selection of red wines.
We did the wine tasting ($40). It took a little longer than we anticipated as we were there for almost 2 hours that's our fault. Our hostess Erica was great! She was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about each wine.
A couple in our group signed up to be wine club members and we ordered some wines to be shipped home.
We will definitely have to do one of their wines pairing lunch/dinner next time we are in town. Sounds delicious!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - 8882342281Feb 25, 20241 check-in
This estate is gorrrrrrgeous! Driving up you will see a grand house with beautiful gardens. We had a reservation, so we gave them our names and waited for a few minutes, while they prepared our table. Our table was already set with the tasting placemat, tasting wine glasses, water glasses, and a bucket. The essentials for sure!
Service: George was super smazing! He walked us through the history of the estate. Gave us some awesome tips regarding the wine and was altogether very professional and personable. 10/10
Grounds: The grounds are beautiful. After our tasting we roamed around to see bocce ball courts, a gazesbo, a chicken coup with massssssive chickens. I these free range eggs have to be large because these were the biggest chickens I have ever seen! Towards the front of the estate, there are marked fruit trees, although not yet in season, it was still fun to see the different types of fruit trees.
Overall: My visit here was super enjoyable! I like the laid back experience. We went on a Friday morning, so there wasn't too many people and the weather was just right!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - Alberto B.CA, CA011Apr 25, 2024
Great ambiance, but excellent service too . You do not have to put up with the rush or amounts of people like in Napa . I'd recommend this place for people who value service and attention to detail.

If I were to go back to Napa, I would skip Kendall-Jackson. It was a very traditional, seated tasting with a very over-the-top animated guide who took us through not only all of the wines in depth but also the detailed story behind Kendall-Jackson.
This is a good tasting for novice wine drinkers and people who want to feel the alcohol because they were so liberal with the tastings and pours. I think we got so much attention because it was off season and we were one of two parties in the whole place.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rich C.SoMa, San Francisco, CA05May 4, 2024
Food is wonderful
Service on par
Ambiance's wonderful
2024 we've experienced an escalation (doubling) in price for their events - coupled with staff turnover over and loss of personal connectivity. . We no longer feel connectedHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 2, 2023
If you're planning to visit Kendall-Jackson, YOU MUST TRY THEIR TASTING EXPERIENCE.
We tried the Wine & Food experience and it was delicious! Every dish was perfectly paired with their wines!
We would not have discovered this experience if it wasn't for the Yelp! Event back in October. We met with Angela who guided the event and made us aware of the food experience. Wow, what a great discovery!
Their dishes are prepared with vegetables grown in their own garden which made the experience so special.
Our server, Abbie, was so nice and welcoming. She discribed each pairing and answered all of our questions.
Make a reservation for your tasting experience and you will not be disappointed! The Wine & Food Experience is 5 courses and well worth it!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - Sharlene M.Broadview Heights, OH031May 2, 2024

Reviewing an experience from last fall, 2023. And I have to agree with the reviews that claim the tasting experience is a must! You can additionally opt in for a complimentary glass of wine and explore while you wait for your table to be available (for us, less than a 15m wait).
Our host was incredibly knowledgeable and the food!! 5 glasses of wine to pair with 5 courses, and with vegetables all sourced from the estate gardens, everything was beautifully plated and tasted wonderfully fresh!
We were seated in a beautiful courtyard with enough cover that we weren't blinded and instead sunlight streamed through gaps in the overhanging canopies. Paired with the occasional breeze, it's a setting I would loved to have stayed for hours.
There is ample parking and the estate and gardens are lovely and expansive, which you're free to wander after your meal.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
