I am a boutique winery sort of gal and avoided Coppola since I'm averse to crowds. I visited with my friends in late afternoon on a Monday (Veteran's Day holiday). The tasting is $10 and included the Sofia signature bubbly. The highlight of the visit were the showrooms of movie memorabilia from the Coppola family's iconic movies. The view over the vineyard was stunning but we decided to eat our dessert (they were okay, not mind blowing) indoors at the bar. I had the lemon tart, which was the tastiest, compared to my friends' apple tart and panna cotta (both mild in flavor, again not outstanding). The Illy cappuccino that the bartender made was meh. I enjoyed walking the grounds and would come back to swim in the pool during the summer.
