Flowers in Bloom! Book your Tour or Private Tasting!
FC's dazzling, spring floral display has begun! We've planted over 10,000 tulips and daffodils that take center stage in our gardens. Call our Tulip Hotline, (707) 433-5349, to find out when the tulips will be in full bloom. Come stroll leisurely through on your own; the winery is open 10am - 5pm, or book a free tour with us by contacting our Hospitality Department, tourinformation@ferrari-carano.com. Tours are Monday - Saturday, 10am by appointment. You'll tour our gardens, see the vineyards up close, stroll through our tank room and cellars and view Don and Rhonda's personal wine cellar...and, it's free! Click here to tour our gardens!

While you're here, try one of our Private Tastings! Available by appointment, each Private Tasting is designed to highlight the many nuances of wine in a fun and informative style. Choose from Pick of the Bunch, Scentiments, White Wine Lovers, The King of Reds, Matchmaker, Cabernet Terroir Tasting and The PreVail Tasting. Available by appointment only, Tuesday through Saturday, 11am and 2pm, based on availability. Email privatetasting@ferrari-carano.com. Advance reservations are required.

We hope to see you soon!





Ferrari-Carano App
Download Now!

We've made it easier for you to interact with us with the introduction of our free mobile phone application. Look up tasting notes, a recipe pairing, or a video with Don and Rhonda and the winemakers talking about a wine, book a tour or private tasting, check out events at the winery and around the area, Twitter/Facebook, Foursquare/tell-a-friend integration, or bookmark a favorite page. “This app allows the winery to enhance the experience customers have with us, and help them feel more a part of the Ferrari-Carano family,” says Rhonda Carano, owner of the winery with her husband, Don. “ We see this already with Facebook and Twitter. Consumers want to get to know the people behind the brand—the winemakers, the vineyard team. This app is one way for them to do that, while at the same time allowing us to provide worthwhile information to the consumer in a highly interactive way." For the Apple App Store, Click Here.

QR Codes
We've implemented 2D QR codes on shelf talkers, bottle neckers, case cards, product cards, and advertisements. Use your smart phone to scan the code that points to a YouTube video of Don and Rhonda and winemakers talking about a wine, a YouTube video about the winery, or a food and wine pairing on the website. This technology allows us to provide a lot of information to you, while you benefits from an enhanced brand experience. “It's a great way for us to ‘talk’ to our customers as they're standing in the grocery store isle, or they're flipping through a magazine at home,” says Cheryl McMillan, public relations and advertising manager. “It personalizes Ferrari-Carano.”
