    • Q:

      You can enjoy food and wind pool side but it's not a formal tasting?

      A:

      There is bar service poolside (cocktails, wine , beer) but if you want a formal tasting of the Coppola wines you need to go inside the main building where there are several "tasting areas".

      This is definitely the Disney of wineries. It even looks like the entrance to Magic Kingdom as you head up the stairs to the main entrance. And this is a good ice breaker place to go if you've never been to a winery before. It has something for everyone including a pool!!
      There were lots of people to help guide you to what you wanted and to answer questions. We headed upstairs to the reserve tasting. The wines were good and the pours healthy. Our server was busy with everyone at the tasting bar so that was a little hard. She had her presentation memorized perfectly but it had to be presented very quickly to move on to the next group. One of our party joined the wine club and ordered an extra case. She was very generous to waive all four reserve tastings.
      We spent the rest of our time walking through the Coppola "museum" and items from the movies. If you like the Godfather movies you've got to add this winery to the list. It's a good filler for the guys in the group who might think tasting wine is too fru-fru. You can definitely spend an hour walking through just looking at everything. You can buy a glass and walk and really enjoy inside in the air conditioning. There is really something for everyone here.

      This is the perfect place to go for film and wine lovers! I am very grateful I had the experience of being here.

      I made reservations for a tasting and lunch about a month in advance. It would have been nice to have the option of making the tasting reservation online, but calling was still extremely easy. I believe I called and left a message and my call was returned the next day.

      Finding the winery is easy (provided you don't lose reception on the way) and there is plenty of parking!

      The grounds are stunning and the building is beautiful! Being a quasi-cinephile, I really appreciated seeing the awards, costumes, and film memorabilia. Very cool being able to sip wine among film history.

      We were seated for our tasting indoors as it was too rainy for the terrace. Deb was wonderful as she walked us through the reserve wines. We ended up joining the wine family and our tasting was free! We also got an additional taste of the Archimedes - a lovely touch.

      I would love to come back in the future when the weather is a little nicer and maybe catch a game of bocce!

      I spent $550 on food and drinks for 5. 4 of us could not finish our meals; they were in a word: terrible.
      The Zinfandel was good; it always is.
      Service was OK, but not much better than In-And-Out. Smiles but not better than 3-star; training would help.
      Ambiance is always great.
      Sadly, following 12 years of dining at Coppola we will only go there when someone else pays.

      Great place to bring visitors from out of town. The museum style areas have great memorabilia of the movies he did.
      We had the Reserve wine tasting in the upstairs seating area (5 wines plus a comp glass of bubbles for $40/pers)
      The service was fantastic, the lady was doing everything from hostess to server and explaining all the wines .
      You can buy here and leave with your bottles or they ship for over $99.
      The estate is very clean and has plenty of parking space. In the summer you can seat outside by the pool and play Bocce.

      I absolutely love the Francis Ford Coppola winery.

      I have been to the one located in the general Napa area, and this was my first time at this new location in Healdsburg. Yes, if you're visiting Napa, do you want to go to the original location unless you're looking to drive an hour and a half to this newer location. Is it worth a drive?! Hell yes it is!

      This is a great location for a date ( we enjoyed it), hanging with friends, etc.

      If you love the nostalgia of old Hollywood, coupled with the great works of Francis Ford Coppola ( nostalgia), you will absolutely adore this place as much as I do. It's very reminiscent of Hearst Castle in many ways, and the pool and cabanas are a must see.

      Everything about the property is breathtaking. You're free to wander about and shop in the store located downstairs, or if you've made reservations for one of their winetasting/dining areas, you will love everything about the experience. While you don't need reservations for the general bar area, it's small and you don't have the same experience , as you would the other locations.

      They offer every wine that they produce for tastings, and many of them are available for purchase in the store. The store also carries a couple of unique wines that are only available at the property. The wine varieties are all wonderful, and if you're looking for a place to enjoying either a glass, or a flight, this is that place!

      There is an additional restaurant that is on site, but reservations are currently required.

      Tastings are reasonably priced, and an experience to be enjoyed. You will not feel rushed or hurried out.

      Go enjoy! Tell them I sent you ;-)

      Once again, they shattered the bar and delivered exceptional service and food. The dining experience and views are spectacular and highly recommend a sunset dinner overlooking the vineyard.

      If you happen to celebrate a milestone, let the maître d' know ahead of time and they will exceed your expectations.

      Arrived at Noon. We're able to get a terrace tasting with out reservations. It was very nice. I with they offered a cheese platter to eat during the tasting. It was a long drive and we were hungry. The terrace is beautiful a perfect setting for a tasting.

      At the beginning of the tasting I made a lunch reservation in an hr. Only inside was available. It was still very nice. The setting is festive and elegant. Decorated with olive oil bottles.

      We had the lasagna and it was phenomenal. I'd order it again. I also had the sausage sandwich. Tasty but a little spicy.

      There is a lot of memorabilia up and down stairs. If you love the godfather you can get a autographed binder of script, notes, pictures, ect. For $500. What a great souvenir.

      We didn't see a tour option and forgot to ask. I recommend coming here and try the terrace tasting for the ambiance. They have a walk up tasting inside.

      Wow!!! The view was stunning, and our server Nathan was awesome.
      Since we are wine members, they treated us with a complementary shot glass of corn purée topped with fresh basil pesto from their garden. My husband ordered the sausage which he said was very good. I ordered the pork tenderloin which was cooked to perfection. It was topped by some type of a peach sauce, which was mild and sweet. The pork was very tender and tasty. The mashed potatoes were good and the grilled zucchini was great as well.
      I should mention that they were very sensitive and accommodating to my gluten-free request.
      I don't remember what type of wine my husband had, but he enjoyed it with his meal. I had a refreshing Prosecco before we started our meal.

      I had been wanting to go to this winery for several years and somehow never made it. So happy I did this time around!

      This winery has everything you could ask for. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and a menu full of comfort food. We ordered the margarita pizza and the pasta puttanesca and both were delicious and satisfying. Their house bread was somewhat confusing. It was tiny and looked like a mini donut. I was hoping to get some actual baguette or ciabatta to go with my pasta so I could soak up all the delicious sauce but had to settle for awkwardly dipping the mini donut.

      Their wines are high quality and my goodness there are so many of them. I drank a Zinfandel (Director's Cut) with the pasta which was a great pairing. We did the reserve wine tasting after. While I love red wine and was satisfied either way, I was surprised by how little white (1) versus red (3) wines were being offered in this tasting. The Prosecco at the beginning was actually our favorite and it was easy to take a few bottles home.

      The real highlight though was Coppola's director memorabilia. We were blown away by the awards showcased. This was my first time actually seeing an Oscar (well technically five). You can not get more iconic movies than the Godfather so it felt incredibly special to be able to see the Oscars for these. There was also a car on display that Coppola designed, so cool.

      The estate comes with a pool area that I know you can rent cabanas for in the warmer times of the year. I've debated in the past making some reservations for it but have to admit that actually seeing it now took away some if its appeal. It looked nicer online somehow. It might have been because it was off season though.
