The winery and grounds are sprawling and beautiful. You'll wish you lived here once you come for a visit. I planned my winery visits well in advance by phone and had no issues what so ever. Wineries such Far Niente are definitely in high demand when it comes to tastings. Probably not a place you can just walk into during peak seasons and hope to take a tour/tasting. All the wines of course are outstanding and the estate guide will seat you at a big dining room like table as you enjoy your wine and cheese pairings. Naturally most everyone comes to Napa for the Cabernets, but Far Niente makes the most awesome dessert wine called "Dolce" (And I don't usually like dessert wines.) It is truly liquid gold. The estate host will pair it with a bleu cheese which will create a taste bud explosion on your palate! Also give your self extra time to roam around a bit..worth every minute. As a bonus, there is also a great car collection you will see on the tour!
