I have visited this winery countless times and have met the owner on several occassions. The only experience I have ever had at ThornCreek has been wonderful! The gardens are absolutely beautiful, the staff very friendly and the wine very good. My wife and I have visited wineries all over Napa and ThornCreek compares in quality and uniqueness to the wineries you would find in the California wine country region. If you want a unique evening in a very beautiful environment, I would highly recoommend this winery.
