Alanna, our server, was absolutely fantastic. She is friendly, knowledgeable and is definitely an asset to the Ferrari-Carano Winery.

Beautiful House and Grounds
Sep 2023 • Family
Wow! Gorgeous grounds meticulously maintained with views in every direction. The "house" is luxurious with a gift shop and indoor and outdoor tasting tables. Staff is knowledgeable and delightful. The is a bar for glasses of wine if you don't want to reserve a tasting.

A waste of money and time.
Feb 2023
This is not a place for anyone interested in wine, winemaking, or vineyards. It's just a beautiful building and grounds from the original owners, with small sips of four wines and a push to join their wine club. Terrible waste of money. We were left for long lengths of time with empty wine glasses in front of us. We were insulted.

Nothing more than beautiful grounds as tourist attraction. Not worth the money or time.
Feb 2023 • Couples
The worst winery visit we’ve experienced. As a prepaid expensive “classic tasting,” it does not offer more than four very short pours of pre-chosen wines with fifteen-minute pauses between each. You will learn very little about vineyards or winemaking, but will be told repeatedly why you should pay to join their wine society. If you’re thinking of buying some wine, they will not offer you the chance to taste other wines, nor will anyone inform you about other choices. Rather absurd if you are at all serious about wine. Worse than perfunctory, since the server pointed out the grapes in the vineyard for the Sauvignon Blanc, then we overheard another server point to the same rows and say they were Malbec. If you want a beautiful view on lovely grounds at a comfortable table on a gorgeous day and are willing to pay $40 per person for a total of 10-12 ounces of wine offered insouciantly, you might enjoy this winery visit.

Rude front staff
Jan 2023
We had a reservation for 3 pm and I called to see if it would be possible to come in earlier. The individual I talked to on the phone said that they may be able to seat us at 2:30, and if not, they would seat us at 2:45 "at the latest".

Our group arrived at 2:30, and the two people at the front were incredibly rude to us. They told us that there was no way they could seat us before 3 pm, and were almost angry when I told them about what the person told us on the phone about seating us earlier. When we asked if we could order a bottle of wine to drink while we were waiting for our reservation, they insinuated we were drinking too much, and did not want to "over serve us". We were a party of six and this was only tasting of the day. We also asked if we could add a cheese board to our reservation, and they told us that they had sold out, which was an absolute lie because when we sat down and asked our server, she immediately had one made for us.

Everyone in my party agreed that the two individuals at the front were outright mean to our group, which is an absolute shame because the service we received from our pourer and the wine itself were fantastic. My partner and I came to the tasting with the intention of purchasing a membership with the winery because of the beautiful grounds and fantastic reds, but after the service we received, I will not be coming back. Please work on hiring more friendly front staff.

Simply Unacceptable
Jan 2023 • Friends
In the area for wine tasting, we recalled a nice experience at Ferrari Carano. Though no reservations were available online, we called the winery to see if there were any cancellations or if it was possible to be fit in for a tasting. The person we spoke with said we could stop in for a tasting, but kindly explained that the last tasting started at 3:30pm. As it was 2:40pm and we were less than 15 minutes away we said we would be right over. Unfortunately, however, when we arrived to check in we were told it was not possible to taste as everything was booked up. This is despite 100% of the outside tables being free and all but two of the inside tables empty at 2:55pm. Most vexing and completely unacceptable, the manager “Jesse” said he spoke with the telephone receptionist who told him we had called over an hour ago and “were late.” Even after being able to prove that we called less than 20 minutes ago (2:38pm on our phone) we were still unceremoniously turned away. Being told that tastings are not possible without an appointment is one thing, but wasting time only to be treated poorly and to be told falsehoods is quite another. We will never go back and highly recommend many of the other great wineries in this beautiful part of the world.

Exceptionally rude staff. There are far better tastings and venues nearby with better customer service.

Gorgeous Venue, Lovely Wines, Attentive Service
Sep 2022
We had a very enjoyable time on the terrace enjoying 4-5 generous tastes. Our server, Ibis, was very thoughtful and full of wine knowledge. She answered all our questions and never seemed in a rush to leave our table, though on a September midweek tasting at 11:00 a.m. the terrace wasn’t very busy. We had time to wander around the gardens and enjoy the stunning views of hillside terraced vineyards. Though the gardens are quite lovely, picnicking isn’t allowed, so we ate our lunch in the car in a shady spot before going onto the next winery in our tour of Dry Creek.
