The tasting pass: the biggest single discount
The largest repeatable discount in Oakville, CA is the Priority Wine Pass: 2 of the 58 wineries in our Oakville, CA catalog are pass partners offering discounted or two-for-one tastings, including Napa Cellars, Saddleback Cellars. If it saves you even two or three tasting fees, the pass has paid for itself in an afternoon. Code Wino20 takes 20 percent off the pass.
The waived-with-purchase rule
The most common discount in wine country is the tasting fee that disappears when you buy bottles. Plenty of wineries honor it without printing it anywhere. Ask before you taste - "is the fee waived with a purchase?" is a completely normal question. If you were buying a bottle anyway, the tasting was free.
The free discounts: sharing and timing
Two discounts cost nothing anywhere: many tasting rooms will split one flight between two people (ask - the worst answer is no), and weekday visits mean longer pours, more attention, and at some wineries lower fees or no reservation requirement.
