Two Chances to Taste Ferrari-Carano Wines!
Now you have two choices when tasting Ferrari-Carano wines –
visit Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery in Dry Creek Valley, or
taste the wines in Healdsburg at Ferrari-Carano’s Seasons of the Vineyard
Tasting Bar & Boutique!
Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery
Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery is known for their worldclass
wines as well as their magnificent gardens, and summer is the
perfect time to visit. Don and Rhonda Carano invite you to visit the
beautiful home of Ferrari-Carano wines, the spectacular Italianate
hospitality center, Villa Fiore, set in the midst of the 70-acre Dry
Creek Valley estate vineyard. Here you may taste critically acclaimed
Ferrari-Carano wines at the Classic Wine Bar, or sample Limited
Release and Reserve Wines downstairs in the Enoteca, stroll acres of
beautiful gardens, or view the magnificent underground cellar. Be
sure to browse the wine shop where you’ll find wine country’s most
distinctive gifts, wine gift packs and of course, the entire portfolio of
Ferrari-Carano wines.
If you’d like an in-depth look at Ferrari-Carano, reserve your spot
for the winery tour, offered daily at 10 a.m., free and by appointment.
Hosted by friendly and knowledgeable staff, you will stroll through
the gardens, see vineyards up close, perhaps catch one of the winemaking
team or cellar crew hard at work on the crush pad or in the
winery’s cellars or tank rooms, view Don and Rhonda Carano’s
personal wine cellar, and visit the Enoteca and Villa Fiore tasting
rooms. You will hear about Ferrari-Carano’s history – how Don and
Rhonda first came to Sonoma County on a wine buying trip and just
fell in love with the area. After the tour, you are invited to taste
Ferrari-Carano wines at the Classic Wine Bar or in the Enoteca.
Winery tours are available Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m., by
appointment. To schedule your tour, email tourinformation@ ferraricarano.com
or call the Hospitality Department at (707) 433-6700 or
1-800-831-0381.
Private tastings are also available by appointment. Each tasting,
hosted in the private PreVail Room, is designed to highlight the many
24
nuances of wine in a fun and informative style, and include Matchmaker
(a wine and food pairing), Chardonnay Lovers, The King of
Reds, The PreVail Tasting and Scentiments, to name a few. Private
tastings range in price from $20 to $35, and groups of up to eight are
welcome. To schedule a private tasting, contact the hospitality department,
