We enjoyed both the lovely grounds and the Ferrari-Carano wines. The grounds are outstanding--hands down. So much more beautiful than anything I've seen in Napa. As for the wines and staff: we're a little puzzled by the comments that the staff was uninterested in discussing wines and that the wines themselves left something to be desired. This is very much...

Like many of the wineries, they have a very nice setting amid gardens and vineyards. The wine itself is a matter of personal taste. Unfortunately for me it was not one of my favorites, but don't let that distract you.

Unless we have a pass, we don't taste at F-C as it's expensive, but we always stop to show guests through the gardens. It's BEAUTIFUL in the spring.

Wanted to give it try since we see Ferrari wine everywhere. The place is beautiful but the folks did not seem to enjoy giving us a tour which always makes the experience not taste as good.

This was a beautiful place to stop and interesting. It's too bad the woman helping us with our tasting gave the distinct impression it was a waste of her time. Nice gift shop though.

The tasting bar was quite full when we arrived. It wasn't a big deal because we had tasted so many different wines that day so we decided to take our time and enjoy the beautiful gardens. For non-wine drinkers out there, this a beautiful place to stop and explore. - Free.

Ferrari-Carano is well up Dry Creek Road, but well worth the trip. They have beautiful grounds and two great tasting rooms. The wines are very good, especially Tresor. The servers are friendly and knowledgable. Don't miss the gardens and fountains as you leave.

We spent a lovely afternoon exploring the Ferrari-Carano Winery, which is situated on a 70-acre Dry Creek Valley estate. Whether you’re a wino or not, the estate has a Chinese garden that’s perfect for photo opps and a boasts fun store filled with interesting wares. Oh, and the scenic vistas kinda made me felt like I was in Italy and... More

It's always fun to taste here. The members' tasting room is pretty hip. Their Fume Blanc is the only white I'll drink regularly, and I've never forgotten the black muscat I bought there...hope they still produce that.
