This is by far the best winery to visit for atmosphere, landscaping and garden walk. They have perfection with several full time gardens making sure that every plant is trimmed and the whole landscape is perfect. THe wine is fine and the gift and tasting area is nice with fair prices.

We weren't very interested in tasting wines here as they are so commercially available, so we opted for the tour instead. It is complementary, and a great look into a more commercialized production facility. Neat technology is being utilized. Tour guide was very nice, but unable to answer some basic questions such as "how much do you produce", "how many... More

Not the best wines (in my humble opinion) but don't pass it up as you don't want to miss the views and gardens.

The gardens at Ferrari Carano are amazing. They warrant the stop even without the winery tour and tasting. Informative tour. Several options for tastings.

This winery was probably one of my favorites on my visit to the wine country. This was a work/pleasure trip for us as we own restaurants and bars and as such we went on a production tour of the facility before our tastings. What stands out immediately is how beautiful the property and surrounding properties are. Lots and lots of... More

We toured 7 wineries as part of Winter Wineland 2013 and this was by far the best. First it is a lovely location--beautiful estate house and lovely gardens you can walk through. The tasting experience was great--in a scenic winery building among barrels. There were four wine tastings--and each was paired with a food--Pinot Grigio paired with goat cheese bruschetta,... More

The garden tour alone is worth the trip! The grounds are immaculately kept and just breathtaking. Of course, the wine is spectacular -- following a reserve tasting with friendly pourers, we poked through the gift shop and found some very unusual gift ideas for even the most well-equipped wine enthusiast. This is our third time there and we will go... More

The Ferrari-Carano Winery, while very big hospitality center, offers a wonderful free tour and numerous tasting options.

Recommended by our B&B for port wines, so we went there and tasted 5 different ports. Ended up buying one to share for the Christmas holidays. Beautiful location with Christmas decorations and fountains.

The gardens are really something to see. The tasting was a little stuffy for my taste, but it is worth dropping by.
