Benessere Vineyards, St. Helena

I'm afraid that if I say too much this winery will fill with people and the patio will be packed. However, it is very charming and the staff is wonderful. I'm not really any kind of wine connoisseur but every wine we tasted was really good as far as I'm concerned. Just had to visit again, about 3 months since my original post. Still love the wine and atmosphere. This time I took about a minute of 360 video this time that I'll share on my YouTube channel bhunter736.

Beautiful winery with great selections! Definitely worth a try! But be prepared for the cost. A little pricey for sure!

Visited as part of a Platypus tour. The winery is a good departure from a lot of the wineries in the area. It focuses on Italian varietals and styles. This included Pinot Grigio and Sangiovese. The wines we tasted were very good. Definitely recommend

Overall: Great tasting. If you call in for a party, you can get a tour with your tasting. This place is worth a gander. Staff here are helpful and down to earth. They don't push you into buying and let you enjoy the wine and experience. I would come here again. Tasting: Pinot was smooth and delicious. Refreshing to start with for the tasting. It's on the sour side in terms of taste. Has a clear yellowish look to it. Rosato has a rose gold look. Looks gorgeous. Has a mild tart and sour taste. I prefer the Pinot over it. Moscato is very sweet. It does have a delicious taste, but don't drink too much of it. Mix it with the pinot and it is perfect. Towards the red wine, the Sangiovse has a barrel taste, but is very smooth in taste. One of the better wines at this vineyard. The Zifandel 2016 is more earthy in taste. Has an after taste that leaves your mouth dry. The Sanvviovse is better. Cabernet was excellent. Very smooth. Probably the best during the tour. The Black glass is delicious. Worth the $42. Its smooth and taste great. Doesn't leave an after taste. Services: Beatrice was very sweet and informative. She was an awesome tour guide and went out of her way to make the tour even better. Geoff H. Is their local photographer. His artworks are displayed throughout the winery. He has some amazing photos worth checking out. Very kind photographer. He offers photos at the end of the tour. Ryan had helped set up our reservation. He was accommodating even though there was scheduled booking during the day of our tasting. Amenities: Unisex restroom and clean. Plenty of seats indoor and outdoor. Parking is small, but you won't have trouble with parking. Merchandise: Souvenirs can get a little pricey here.

Great views & ambiance. Good wine, check it out!! 🍷
