Like many of the wineries, they have a very nice setting amid gardens and vineyards. The wine itself is a matter of personal taste. Unfortunately for me it was not one of my favorites, but don't let that distract you. More

Unless we have a pass, we don't taste at F-C as it's expensive, but we always stop to show guests through the gardens. It's BEAUTIFUL in the spring. More

Wanted to give it try since we see Ferrari wine everywhere. The place is beautiful but the folks did not seem to enjoy giving us a tour which always makes the experience not taste as good. More

This was a beautiful place to stop and interesting. It's too bad the woman helping us with our tasting gave the distinct impression it was a waste of her time. Nice gift shop though. More

The tasting bar was quite full when we arrived. It wasn't a big deal because we had tasted so many different wines that day so we decided to take our time and enjoy the beautiful gardens. For non-wine drinkers out there, this a beautiful place to stop and explore. - Free. More

Ferrari-Carano is well up Dry Creek Road, but well worth the trip. They have beautiful grounds and two great tasting rooms. The wines are very good, especially Tresor. The servers are friendly and knowledgable. Don't miss the gardens and fountains as you leave. More

We spent a lovely afternoon exploring the Ferrari-Carano Winery, which is situated on a 70-acre Dry Creek Valley estate. Whether you’re a wino or not, the estate has a Chinese garden that’s perfect for photo opps and a boasts fun store filled with interesting wares. Oh, and the scenic vistas kinda made me felt like I was in Italy and... More

It's always fun to taste here. The members' tasting room is pretty hip. Their Fume Blanc is the only white I'll drink regularly, and I've never forgotten the black muscat I bought there...hope they still produce that. More

But the overall presentation of the wines did not go so well. Granted it was near the end of the day, but clearly they were not overly interested in telling us too much about the wines. The grounds were fantastic though, just wish the rest of the trip had been as nice. More
