Good wine, awful customer service. So it started with plans to tour the best of Napa and Sonoma's wineries. Included on our list was Ferrari-Carano. We called and made a reservation for 8 people, albeit with much resistance from the staff. They felt that it should be more private, but this was a close group of family and friends and... more

We almost missed this place for lack of time but decided to squeeze it in on this past Sat. morning before checking out of the Inn @ the Plaza in Healdsburg. Wanda, the concierge at the Inn strongly suggested we visit this place and gave us complimentary tasting passes. It's a beautiful drive to the winery, we arrived a little... more

We chose the cellar service, while the wines were good, the people behind the counter were unattentive and disagreeable. When discussing the wines the guys behind the counter came off as arrogant and condescending. While I am no Robert Parker, I also have a good wine palate. more

We visited Ferrari-Carano mid-week. From what we heard from the staff, it does get pretty crazy on the weekend. That being said, we had a wonderful time at this winery. We tasted on a Tuesday and came back to purchase wine to take home on a Wednesday (October the week after the big harvest festival) and both visits were uncrowded.... more

Gorgeous!

My boyfriend proposed to me in the gardens of Ferrari Carano! I'm not a wine drinker...like sweet wines so can't comment on their wines but their grounds are full of vibrant colors. Nice background of the vineyards and a nice garden with a gazebo and pond. We took a lot of pictures here. more

Our wince club from Denver visited Ferrari-Carano on September 20th, 2008. After reading reviews after we had already booked a private tasting, I was very concerned. My concern was totally unnecessary. Jackie, our hostess, and all of the staff at the winery did a fantastic job. I had requested at the time of booking that if at all possible, we'd... more

After reading reviews on Trip Advisor, we decided to save what we thought would be the best for the last - and we weren't disappointed. I made an appointment for a private tasting - it was just me and my husband - we tasted two of their premium wines (tasted all of them - but when we went into the... more

We should have heeded the advice of others we had asked. The gardens are beautiful, however, though the wines were good (the Chardonnay is excellent) the tasting experience left us feeling a little flat. The guy doing the tasting actually told us the vacation rental property he owns is a better place to stay than the place we were staying.... more

Ferrari Carano is a great mix of an amazing property to tour as well as some pretty good grape. One can get lost touring the gardens and building here - if you have time to kill it is a great spot to tour even if you do not drink wine. The wine is great also but there are so many... more
