Blown Away By Chenin Blanc and Malvasia Bianca

Dear Travelers,
I went into the cozy LOLA wine tasting cottage for a Chenin Blanc. It was just what I was hoping for and more, so for Chenin Blanc lovers out there you know what I mean. The friendly folks at LOLA then offered me a tasting of their wine made from the ancient grape Malvasia Bianca. Extraordinary is the best word to describe it. You will love it and you will wonder why not everyone is making wine from Malvasia Bianca. I can’t wait to try the other great and truly unique wines they are making. In fact, I just checked the website and the Mother’s Day specials right now are fantastic! Be sure and check their specials out online. You will be glad you did! Hello to everyone at LOLA!

Authentic Wine Country Experience

I just stopped in here on a whim, having lived in Calistoga for 12 years now. I’m stunned to find that there is still a winery in Napa Valley that is this genuine, unique, and personable. Fantastic wines served at ridiculously reasonable prices by a lovely local couple. Stop in!…

Cozy and Beautiful Calistoga Wine Tasting

We enjoyed having our tasting on the back patio outside! It was beautiful and cozy. Marley and Nancy were wonderful hosts and the wines were great! We particularly loved the aromatic whites, including the Malvasia and Riesling.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

The wines are absolutely amazing and so is the service! It’s very welcoming and intimate experience. Seth the wine maker is usually popping in so you get to talk to him and his wife is actually the woman who gives you your tasting experience. Great vibes and welcoming feelings at this place. Will definitely be returning!

❤ Great Wine, Great Tasting Experience ❤

This is a family run boutique winery with a cute and comfortable tasting house located in Calistoga. When you walk into the house you feel like you are truly at home with LOLA. Cozy up next to the quaint fireplace. Enjoy a glass or a tasting of their unique and thoughtfully crafted wines. You are likely being poured by one of the family members of Seth Cripe, the winemaker. Often Seth himself will come into the LOLA house to hang out and pour tastings, which is a very amazing experience. If you are REALLY lucky Lola (the dog and real boss) will be there to greet you at your visit. When you take a sip of LOLA you truly experience the love and pride that has gone into the production of this wine. This is a one of a kind experience for the Napa Valley. I highly recommend you put LOLA on your list for your visit!

Charming & Welcoming

Wow! I’ve lived in Calistoga for 12 years, and I thought there was nothing new about this valley that I could discover. I was wrong. Lola is a breath of fresh air- a charming and welcoming owner/ winemaker couple in a brick house in the center of Calistoga, with exceptional wines at absurdly reasonable prices. Try the Chenin Blanc and Reserve Pinot Noir. This is what wine country SHOULD feel like!

Charming & Authentic Wine Country Experience

We had such a lovely and authentic experience at Lola on our visit last week. It’s a charming and inviting place that welcomes you in, and then friendly folks take over and you become part of the family as you taste and learn about their wines and process from growing/pruning in select vineyards to how they barrel and bottle for what they are achieving. Seth, Rafa and Marley make you feel welcome and a part of a close knit family. Rafa’s art and creative expression is evident everywhere you look and turn in this charming place. It’s rare to walk in to such a place in Napa Valley in these times of the large/opulent/statement projects that are impressive but not as authentic as the experience you can have if your are lucky to sit down in the same room as the growers, winemaker, and proprietors of a label that they are happy to share in their own genuine way one on one. The wines are great, with some unique but appealing characteristics that set them apart and make them the ones you want to open at home with food and friends. We are anxious to share this find in our own little town of Calistoga with everyone we know, as long as the keep it a secret!
