Private Tastings & Tours

The Pleasures of Wine are Meant to be Shared -- Experience Private Tastings at Ferrari-Carano

Ferrari-Carano is proud to present a series of wine tasting programs for the ultimate wine county experience in the PreVail Room. Each program is designed to highlight the many nuances of wine in a fun and informative style:

The Enthusiast
This tasting walks guests through an in-depth tasting of five wines of your choice and is tailored to cover any wine-related topics about which participants have always wanted to know. This program provides the perfect opportunity to ask specific questions about different aspects of winemaking and styles of wine.

White Wine Lovers
This tasting features five of Ferrari-Carano's world-renowned Chardonnays and offers an in-depth look into the winemaking process of creating these delicious wines. Paired with local artisan cheeses, this tasting is a white wine lovers paradise.

The King of Reds
This tasting includes four Ferrari-Carano Cabernet-based wines and the delicious dessert wine, Eldorado Noir, paired with chocolates and dried fruit. A tasting experience you will not soon forget.

Scentiments
You will become familiar with 12 fresh aromas that are present in the different varietals we utilize in winemaking as well as the barrel-aging process. You will test your “smell memory”, familiarizing yourself with those scents and then try to identify those aromas in five Ferrari-Carano wines. A fun and open discussion on wine aromas and flavor characteristics.

The PreVail Tasting - Delicious food and wine pairing!
This luxurious tasting highlights Ferrari-Carano's PreVail wines. After a presentation about the PreVail project, you will enjoy a formal tasting of the PreVail wines paired with a local artisan charcuterie plate.

Tours at Ferrari-Carano

Reserve your spot for Ferrari-Carano's winery tour, hosted by our friendly and knowledgeable staff, and you will stroll through our renowned gardens, see our vineyards up close, perhaps catch one of our 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 our Enoteca Lounge 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 Villa Fiore tasting bar or in the Enoteca Lounge.
