All the Ways to Sip with Us This Summer

Summer’s official first day is around the corner (four days, but who’s counting?!) and we are celebrating the return of wine tastings, tours and events at our Napa Valley wineries. Whether you’re planning your dream Napa Valley itinerary or want to stock your collection with warm-weather wines, discover a few of our favorite ways to infuse your summer days and nights with the spirit of Il Dolce Far Niente.


Savor the Magic of Far Niente, After Hours

Toast the return of winery events and make plans for an unforgettable evening out in wine country, with Friday Nights at Far Niente. These brand-new evening events are a one-of-a-kind way to savor our finest Napa and Russian River Valley wines while surrounded by Far Niente’s enchanting gardens and vineyards. June’s Pinot & Pizza is already sold out, and limited tickets remain for the kick-off event for July (we’re transforming Far Niente’s Cabernet Grill into an oyster bar!). Learn more about Chardonnay & Oysters After Hours. Then, browse more summer wine events here. Keep checking back, as we'll be adding more wine events in the coming weeks.




Drink in the Gorgeous Napa Valley Scenery (While Sipping Exquisitely Aged Cabernet)

One of our most exclusive wine experiences, Far Niente’s Cave Collection Tasting invites you to discover the beauty of carefully aged Napa Valley Cabernet. A private host will guide you through three limited-release Far Niente Cave Collection Cabernet Sauvignons, each masterfully paired with curated small bites. You’ll also enjoy with current and Cave vintages of Far Niente Chardonnay, before finishing with a taste of our late harvest jewel, Dolce Napa Valley. This private experience includes a tour of our wine caves and wine library as well as an invitation to enjoy our lush winery gardens. Reserve your Cave Collection Experience or explore Far Niente’s full lineup of private and guided wine tastings.
