the hess collection winery & art museum

长途跋涉,蜿蜒而隐藏的道路,你不会感到失望的。我们去过很多“迪斯尼”类型的酒庄,普通的品酒室,但是这家跟这些都不同。艺术博物馆非常大,很现代。长廊有非常巨大的玻璃窗,在某些房间的窗户上,可以看到酿酒设施。我们最关心的是那些大的销售商是否有给零售商的样品。错了!他们的酒只能从酒庄拿。很好的葡萄酒,特色的葡萄酒,这些都值更高的价。我们船运回家一些,我们的美食家和爱酒的朋友们都已经开始抱怨我们没有给他们买一些了!

在我们所有的酒庄之旅中,只有这次是奔着艺术收藏的目的去的,而且没有让我们失望。虽然我们没有试尝酒,只是来着看看美丽的酒庄,这次旅行真的很值!你去的时候一定要租个语音的耳机导游,听听它们背后的故事,你会更喜欢这个地方的。虽然很多都是讲述艺术家的设计,但是最精彩的部分是赫斯购买下酒庄的原因,以及他如何看待这个地方的。

这真是个超棒的体验!这次经历绝对值40美元的价格。我们认识了不同种类的酒,参观了葡萄园,还聆听了一场受益匪浅的品酒课程。这个为期2,3天的旅行每个月只有一次机会,所以千万别错过哦!绝对是我们旅行中的亮点。

一次享受现代艺术和美酒的不错旅行。学到很多东西,而且是免费的!(好吧,葡萄酒是收费的。)如果我有什么不满意的,就是葡萄酒品尝区人有点儿多,有点儿吵。我也希望人们能遵守标示上所说的不要触碰甚至踩踏那些艺术品。我认为不收费会让人觉得这些东西不太值钱。

这里位于纳帕谷以外比较隐蔽的地方,不过却可以享用到最美味的红酒,欣赏到最棒的当代艺术。这里的画廊实在是很漂亮,非常适合嘻细细品味。四周的景观都很美,整个行程很有趣,绝对是我们观光之旅的亮点。

A wonderful winery with a beautiful view of the valley. We took a private tour and our guide was very nice and informative, he answered all our questions. The winery has also a art collection museum with paintings that are like real photographies, I was impressed about the perfection!! Great and affordable good wines. We really enjoyed the visit.

Our guide - Samantha was very educated and informative about the winery. She was also very approachable & answered all questions. The artwork is edgy and not to everyone's taste - but we found some we enjoyed, The wine is delicious & we enjoyed the tasting. Good way to spend an afternoon in Napa!

We really enjoyed walking through the art collection before we sat down for our wine tasting. The wine was very good!! We enjoyed the atmosphere here.

This is a winery, tasting room and art museum all in one! Such a neat concept. And besides that, the estate is sitting atop Mt. Veeder so the views are beautiful! The grounds are very pretty, as are the buildings. You have to drive up a windy road about 15 minutes from town to get there so the views on the way there are beautiful as well. It is a modern art gallery, which isn't for everyone, but still neat to see. The tasting room is on the top floor. The wine was good and the hosts pouring were very friendly and knowledgeable. I tried a 100% Charbono varietal which I had never had before. I liked it so much I ended up buying a bottle. I definitely recommend visiting the Hess Collection if you are in the Napa area!

The Hess Winery is know for Modern Art as well as wine. And this was a treat. We enjoyed the laid back, go at your own pace opportunity to see this amazing collection. The wine was great as well. A wonderful start to a day of wine tasting.

Go for the art. World class art pieces from Bacon, Stella, Rosenquist and others - from the Hess collection. Our tour guide estimated that only 15% of Hess' collection was displayed; the rest is in Switzerland.. Two floors of beautiful paintings and sculptures. Do not miss this private art collection. Oh, and the winery is lovely.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences, it sounds like you had a good time. The art you describe is actually part of several works from environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy, and has nothing to do with cows or, ahem, cow pies. On the wall are some intriguing prints made from melting ink laden snow on canvas. On the floor are a series of sea rocks melted under extreme heat to form interesting shapes. In fact, there is a small theater alongside the display where you can see the kiln process in action. And, of course, at the end of the hall is "Surface Tension" a wonderful piece constructed of thorns. Andy Goldsworthy is surely one of the most interesting natural artists working today, and a simple search will find much more to consider, but not much about cows... We'll look forward to seeing you again. The sense of discovery, for art and wine, is a wonderful part of the experience of visiting, and sharing makes it even better.
