Tastings & Experiences

VISITATION POLICY
Francis Ford Coppola Winery is pleased to announce that we are taking reservations for wine tastings. This will be part of a phased and measured reopening of our Hospitality Center. We will be following guidelines established by Sonoma County and the State of California as part of the resumption of business in our area.

RESERVATIONS WILL BE REQUIRED
Francis Ford Coppola Winery will require all visitors to make reservations to visit the property. We will not be able to accommodate your visit for dining or wine tasting without a reservation.

We will reopen with temporary hours of operation from 11:00am to 5:00pm. The final tasting reservation for the day will be at 4:00pm. Please call us at (707)857-1471 to make your reservations. We will only be able to accommodate up to six people per reservation group for wine tastings.

POLICY FOR YOUR VISIT
Check-in for tasting reservations will be at our Guest Service counter. Only guests with reservations or confirmed curbside pick-up times will be permitted on property. All tastings will be by seated, outdoor table service only. We will be limiting the number of guests at any given time in our Hospitality Center to ensure adherence to social distancing practices. There will be no service at our indoor tasting bars.

All guests agree to follow all safety protocols and precautions required by the winery. All guests acknowledge their obligation to enter the winery premises only if they are experiencing no COVID-19 symptoms identified by the Centers for Disease Control and the California Department of Public Health, and have not had a fever or felt feverish without the use of medication in the last 72 hours prior to their visit.

For the safety of our visitors and staff, we will require that face masks be worn by all guests during your visit as you transition through the property before and after your tasting. Only while you are seated for your tasting or dining at Rustic will the wearing of face masks not be required. Visitors are asked to bring their own face masks. Without a face mask, we will not be able to accommodate your visit. This is for the safety of all of our guests and staff.

At this time our bocce courts will not be open.
