Experience the Enchantment of Far Niente, Napa Valley’s Iconic Wine Estate

Extraordinary Wines & Exquisite Hospitality

Nestled on a hilltop in the heart of Oakville, Far Niente’s Napa Valley estate exudes an air of timeless elegance and enchantment. We welcome guests daily by appointment only to experience wine tastings that capture the charm of il dolce far niente—"the sweetness of doing nothing” in Italian—hosted in our 19th-century stone winery and its surrounding environs. From cascading gardens and coveted estate vineyards to alluring wine caves, you'll explore the full splendor of the storied Far Niente Winery and our iconic Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons.

Tastings are hosted in one of the many picturesque alcoves, both indoors and outdoors, to further excite your senses. Before your arrival, your host will select the perfect setting based on the weather, time of day, party size, and experience. All tastings include walking and stairs; please contact us for assistance. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate pets, children, or guests under 21.

Group Tour & Tasting

Immerse yourself in the charm of Far Niente alongside fellow wine lovers on this guided winery tour and tasting.

The experience culminates with a seated tasting of current-release wines, including our sumptuous late-harvest wine, Dolce, and an artisanal cheese plate.
