It’s officially spring in Napa Valley, we're embracing the spirit of Il Dolce Far Niente all month long.
From the return of guided winery tours at Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel to celebrating the 40th anniversary of our most iconic Napa Valley Chardonnay, here’s how we’re making the most of longer, warmer wine country afternoons (+ some pro tips on how you can, too)!
Spring. We’re Drinking It In.
“I love hosting virtual wine tastings and my favorite spring Pinot Noir to enjoy with guests is our EnRoute “Les Pommiers." This Russian River Valley Pinot reminds me of fresh violets, with dewy plum and cherry flavors, and its bright acidity means it can be paired with almost any menu, though you can also skip the food and simply enjoy it with the sun on your back or your favorite book. This Pinot is lavish, full of life and embodies the season of spring.” – Nat Bandel, Private Client Services and Virtual Tastings

We’re Taking [Tasting] Notes from Our Hospitality Pros
“We’re enjoying some amazing wines at Far Niente right now. We currently greet our guests with a glass of crisp, cool 2019 Far Niente Chardonnay. We’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of this classic Napa Valley Chardonnay and notes of lemon zest and fresh Granny Smith apple burst from the bouquet! Another favorite? The 2017 Far Niente Estate Bottled Cabernet, which has juicy, youthful fruit right now yet possesses tons of cellar potential.” – Jess Black, Far Niente Hospitality
