From the web site: "For more than 20 years,
Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards—the first sparkling wine
house in the Sonoma Carneros region—has invited visitors
to discover cool-climate wines served with warm Spanish
hospitality. Owned by the Ferrer family, whose wine experience is
rooted in 19th century Spain, our winery is a vibrant
blend of Catalan and California mission design. We
cultivate fruit for our premium quality sparkling and
still wines in our 335 acres of estate vineyards
distinguished by warm days, cool nights, summer fog and a
long growing season that coaxes grapes to maturity slowly
and consistently, with balanced sugar and acidity. Our
Vineyard Manager Mike Crumly and Winemaker Bob Iantosca,
both of whom have worked for Gloria Ferrer from its
inception, have devoted more than two decades to
identifying the diverse soil types, microclimates and
specific needs of every vine in their care."

The patio, where your party can enjoy a nice glass of sparkling wine, something to snack on, and a view to die for. |
