The Pleasures of Wine are Meant to be Shared
Ferrari-Carano offers a series of private wine tasting programs for the ultimate wine country experience in the PreVail Room at the winery in Dry Creek Valley. Each program is designed to highlight the many nuances of wine in a fun and informative style. Programs include:

The Enthusiast
This tasting walks guests through an in-depth tasting of five wines of the guests’ choice and is tailored to cover any wine-related topic about which participants have always wanted to know.

White Wine Lovers
This tasting features five of Ferrari-Carano’s world-renowned Chardonnays and offers an in-depth look into the winemaking process of creating these delicious wines. Paired with local artisan cheeses, this program is a white wine lovers paradise.

The King of Reds
This tasting includes four Ferrari-Carano Cabernet-based wines and the delicious dessert wine, Eldorado Noir, paired with chocolates and dried fruit. A tasting experience you will not soon forget.

Scentiments
You will become familiar with 12 fresh aromas that are present in the different varietals we utilize in winemaking as well as the barrel-aging process. You will test your “smell memory”, familiarizing yourself with those scents and then trying to identify those aromas in five Ferrari-Carano wines. A fun and open discussion on wine aromas and flavor characteristics.

The PreVail Tasting
This luxurious tasting highlights Ferrari-Carano’s PreVail wines. After a presentation about the PreVail project, you will enjoy a formal tasting of the PreVail wines paired with a local artisan charcuterie plate.

These tasting experiences are designed to be fun, yet educational, for the novice or the connoisseur. Please schedule a private tasting with Brook Drummond, Ferrari-Carano’s Educational Programs Coordinator, by emailing brook@fcwinery.com, or calling 800.831.0381 or 707.433.6700.
