Fantastic red wines! All...
Fantastic red wines! All of the employees are so very friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable about the wines at the winery. The small bites were dim sum. They were delicious!

Nice experience....
Nice experience. Beautiful place and good guide. The tasting was good. We sampled several varieties that we had not previously had acess to.
Response from the operator: Thank you for spending some time with us! We're so happy you enjoyed the tasting, the atmosphere, and discovering a few new favorites along the way. Hope to see you back in Napa soon!

Prisoner tasted great
It was an experience featuring Asian dim sum items. They were all delicious and I enjoyed the sauces that accompanied. Our waitress, or rather tasting guide was delightful and provided plenty of information. Not sure if the pairing complimented the wine but definitely did not hinder it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us for our Dim Sum & Wine Experience! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the flavors, sauces, and time with your tasting guides. Creating a welcoming, interactive environment where guests can explore wine, food, and the stories behind them is something we're truly passionate about.

Creative experience with fantastic wine offerings.
The Prisoner’s tasting room is a wonderful place to visit. The atmosphere is rustic and modern. The wine pairings with the food served were creative and well presented. Our tasting guide Andrew was knowledgeable without over explaining, (something we experienced at other vineyards). He was able to assess our groups wine knowledge and interests to make our experience pleasurable. We were offered a taste of a sparkling wine at check-in. We chose to wait outside to be called to the tasting area. My sister in law went in to return her empty glass she was offered an additional sip during our wait. Not a huge cost to the vineyard but we thought this was generous gesture.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere, creative food pairings, and wines during your visit. Andrew has a wonderful talent for making each tasting both informative and approachable, and we're thrilled he helped create such an enjoyable experience for your group. We're especially happy that the small touches, like the welcome sparkling wine and extra sip while you waited, stood out to you. We believe hospitality is all about those little moments, and we're glad they added to your experience. We hope to welcome you back to The Prisoner Wine Company again soon for another memorable visit

The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Napa & Sonoma.
How much does The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Napa & Sonoma usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Napa & Sonoma is not rushed.
Is The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Napa & Sonoma, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Napa & Sonoma can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Napa & Sonoma and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Napa & Sonoma within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Napa & Sonoma?
+
Napa and Sonoma are all about how a tour is put together: which wineries it can actually book, how many stops, whether lunch and tasting fees are included, and whether it lifts off in a balloon at sunrise. We weight inclusions and transparency heavily in the ranking here. On Outty we rank every Napa & Sonoma experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Napa Valley Small Group Winery Tour, #1 Sonoma Walking Food, Wine Tasting & History Tour (Public Tour), Sonoma Valley Pedal Assist Bike Tour with Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Napa & Sonoma?
+
March to May and September to November, with harvest crush in September. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Napa & Sonoma?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner?
+

Is The Sensory Series Wine & Petite Plates at The Prisoner wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
