Reservations are now being accepted from July 1st and beyond.

We invite you to join us in The Salon, The Meadow View Room, The Inspiration Room, and on The Terrace where these elevated experiences will showcase the refined elegance of Gary Farrell Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

INSPIRATION TASTING “A taste journey through California’s finest Pinot Noir Vineyards”

Our efforts are complete when nature, science and passion combine to become art in the glass. The Inspiration Tasting is a curated flight of vineyard-designate wines, including library vintages and special limited-production bottlings. Personally hosted in The Inspiration Room by an Estate Sommelier, this shared educational experience features six highly allocated releases of single vineyard Pinot Noir, highlighting the elegance, balance and natural acidity that is our winemaking hallmark. This wine flight is served with three "impeccable pairings" that reflect both the versatility of our wines and the bounty of Sonoma County, prepared by Chef Didier Ageorges.

EXPLORATION TOUR & TASTING “An immersive winery tour & tasting experience”

We are fortunate to work with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the Russian River Valley and beyond; transforming this fruit into world-class wines that express both vintage and vineyard site requires unwavering dedication and respectful stewardship. We invite you to explore this process through a guided tour of our winery and cellar, accompanied by a lively and detailed discussion of our winemaking process from grape to glass. This experience culminates at a communal table in The Meadow View Room where the host will lead you and other tour guests through a tasting of five highly allocated single vineyard releases, paired with a selection of artisan cheese and nuts, highlighted with a Gougères Dijionnaise bite.

RECENT REVIEWS Trip Advisor | April 2017 | 5/5 Stars “Great Tasting Experience”What a great wine tasting experience. They are remodeling their tasting room and they have set up these great tents for tasting. They are beautiful, comfortable and give you a wonderful tasting experience in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend it. Trip Advisor | March 2017 | 5/5 Stars “A Must for Wine tasting”This was the second visit we had made for the wine tasting, we were absolutely impressed!!! The staff was very friendly and made the tour worth all of our time!! Trip Advisor | February 21, 2017 | 5/5 Stars “Excellent wine in a beautiful region”Of the 30 or so wineries we have tried in Sonoma, Gary Farrell has the strongest across the board line up of Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. Their current release shows the exceptional, fruit driven range of the region. A must hit in the Russian River Valley. The only downside is that they only offer a limited number of reservations, so plan ahead! Trip Advisor | January 5, 2017 | 5/5 Stars “Best wine, great ambiance!.”My husband and I visited on the weekend to Sonoma. We were referred by a friend. The winery tasting room is actually under construction but it did not hinder our experience one bit. We sat in a semi private beautiful, heated platform tent. Having been to many wineries over the last five years, we were very impressed with the entire wine tasting experience. Our guide was very informative and pleasant and the wines were just delightful! We can't wait to go back once the wine tasting room is finished. We have become members and can't wait to open our next battle ! Yelp | October 25, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Superb tour and history of the winery.”Superb tour and history of the winery. I really appreciated all of the details about the vineyards they choose and the processes they go through. The storage area was immaculate and you could just feel the passion that goes into creating great wines. The tasting room was top notch and I loved getting to converse with the other people on our tour, finding out what they like and where they were from. Best of all were the views from the tasting area. The weather was overcast and cool, giving it an ethereal feel. I would love to take an evening tour sometime, I'm sure that's even more breathtaking. Trip Advisor | September 15, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “The Most Beautiful View in Wine Country.”If you are looking for an amazing tasting experience that combines very special wine with an unparalleled view -- go to Gary Farrell. Perched atop a hill overlooking the Russian River Valley, this is a fantastic break from some of the busier wineries in Sonoma and Napa. Quiet, peaceful, and with amazing wine. It's a truly special place. Trip Advisor | August 24, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Expensive, but worth it.”This is the most beautiful tasting room and terrace that I have seen. It is way up a hill overlooking the valley. It is designed for the views which are fantastic. You can sit outside or inside at the bar and taste first class wines, but take your time as you enjoy the scenery because it is expensive and you will probably need a reservation. Trip Advisor | July 11, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Another successful wine pick up”Gary Farrell is always a great stop. I live close enough to pick up and look forward to it with each shipment. I love that I can customize my wine club shipments and have not had a problem scheduling a terrace tasting. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly. The view is spectacular and the wine never disappoints. Yelp | June 7, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Loved all that we tried”Have visited 6 wineries / tasting rooms this week. This is the only one that I am reviewing. VIEW-unreal. Simply stunning view. WINE-loved all that we tried. Big fan of lower alcohol wines because I like to actually taste the fruit. HOST(ESS)-Lydia was fantastic. Very friendly and enjoyed conversing with her and the others.
