Press & Accolades

“Hoffmann Family Winery is such a special find! The cellar is cozy and intimate, and Pete is an incredible host—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about wine and winemaking. Every wine we tasted was amazing, and you can tell how much care and passion goes into each bottle. The entire experience feels personal and authentic, and I would absolutely recommend Hoffmann Family Winery to anyone looking for a memorable wine tasting experience.”

“Aum Cellars has a really personal feel, and the wines are excellent. I especially liked that the wines are made from organically grown grapes with a natural, minimal-intervention approach, and Pete's knowledge and passion really come through in the experience.”

“I visited Hoffmann Family Winery with a group of friends and had an absolute blast. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy great conversation, and lose track of time over some seriously good wine. The setting is relaxed and intimate, and Pete made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. He kept us entertained, shared some great stories, and made the tasting feel more like spending an afternoon with a friend who happens to make incredible wine. Such a fun and memorable experience—we'll definitely be back!”

“Hidden gem in the Napa hills! The warm hospitality made us feel right at home, and Pete’s passion for winemaking made the experience unforgettable. His minimalist approach lets each wine truly shine, and every pour was exceptional. If you’re looking for an authentic, intimate Napa tasting away from the crowds, this is a must-visit!”

“There are over 500 plus wineries to choose from in the valley. Pete’s wines are delicious and he is a passionate wine maker with a wealth of knowledge. His wines are reasonably priced with a wide variety to choose from. I would definitely recommend!”

“What an amazing experience in the valley today as it felt like we had traveled to Italy! Pete has such a passion for tending the vineyard, managing the olive trees, tending the sheep, and every step of the wine making process. Quite amazing...we certainly were blessed with this experience, enjoying a generous tasting, and sharing good times with friends. We will be back!”

“Just spent 4 days in Napa on public and private tasting and this was our favorite. The Wine was incredible (f-me Cab was outstanding) and they make olive oil which was presented over "Napa Nachos". Location is like wine tasting on your grandparents farm. Don't miss this one.”

“Aum is the best wine in the whole wide world. I should know I’ve been everywhere and tried wine all over the world and this is my favorite wine.”

“Wowww!! Lo máximo mi querido amigo, voy pa’lla a recoger esas uvas, se ven divinas,bueno y lego una copa de vino y Voila!! abracito”

“Wowww!! This is amazing, my dear friend! I’m heading over there to pick those grapes—they look divine! And then, of course, a glass of wine and voilà!! Big hug!”

“A small group of us were recently hosted by Pete, the owner/winemaker, for a tasting of his amazing varietals. The intimate wine cellar is so unique that it, alone, is worth the trip. However, the incredible views, delicious wines (be sure to check out their creative monikers), and Pete's knowledge, humor, and personality make a visit an absolute must!”

“Pete has an amazing wealth of knowledge. He’s so personable and you can tell he really cares about the earth and how is grapes are grown. I had so much fun touring his vineyard and at the tasting. I could have stayed and listened to him all day(while drinking his delicious wines of course!)”

“My favorite winery in Napa!! I was lucky enough to be introduced to this winery on my first trip to Napa with family. We asked our tour guide to take us his favorite smaller wineries.”

“We loved our visit to Aum with Pete and his family. We were welcomed as one of their own and had the best time. The wine is incredible and well worth the trip. We tell everyone we know about Aum and can't wait to be back in Napa and at Aum soon!”

“Went with my parents and had a great time!!! Aum had great tastings! Def gonna comeback next year”

“Pete’s the best there is! Everything about Aum creates an exceptional experience.”

“Peter, we met your father and aunt in Joshua Tree this evening. The place was packed so we offered to share our table. So glad we did — they were energetic and fun and easy to talk with. Heard about their US tour and your wine project, so I thought I’d look you up. Congratulations, and I hope you weren’t too affected by those crazy fires.”

“Hi Peter! Thank you again for the fantastic wine tasting and tour of your place. We had the BEST time ever! Looking forward to seeing you again in April!”

“Tucked away in the mountains is this hidden gem of all natural, organic, incredibly TASTY red wines—mostly Cabernet with a touch of Malbec. Spent hours drinking wine from the barrel, walking the vineyards, and chilling in the cellar room—with more wine (the adult version of the baby wines in the barrel). The wine here is special. It’s probiotic, natively fermented and non filtered. No sulfates, synthetic herbicides, or fertilizers. Basically, wine in its most natural form and damn if it isn’t delicious. At the end of the tasting, Pete—the owner—let us try his CBD wine. We both passed out shortly after this tasting. I recommend a visit to Pete and AUM Cellars on your next visit to Napa. We’ll definitely be returning!!”

“Hi Peter, I love your wines — the best I have ever had, and I have been to 30 countries, so I think I know. Thank you for your hard work that makes me so happy to drink your wines.”
