Thank you to all of our friends for the well wishes and calls of concern we have received this week amidst the Napa and Sonoma wildfires ravaging our area. Our wineries and staff are safe, and we are grateful to the countless emergency responders who are here and for their tireless efforts to protect our community.
We are continuing to make wine at all of our properties, but we have suspended tastings at Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel. We will let you know as soon as we reopen. In the meantime, we are continually checking email and voicemail. Your calls are an encouragement, so please keep in touch.
With gratitude,
-Larry Maguire
Far Niente President
-Dirk Hampson
Director of Winemaking

Meet Six Women Shaping the Far Niente Family of Wineries & Vineyards.
Two winemakers. One CFO. Two VPs. And the woman who helped launch Far Niente more than 40 years ago. In celebration of Women’s History Month, we sat down to talk with just a few of the women shaping the way we grow, make, sell and share our wines. From the cellar to the board room, these daring innovators and leaders share a passion for human connection and a sense of adventure.

In anticipation of our annual Cave Collection release, we sat down with Winemaker Nicole Marchesi to talk about Far Niente's Cave Collection and the keys to making age-worthy Napa Valley Cabernet. Read on to hear what she has to say. Then mark your calendars for the January 17 release from Far Niente's Cave Collection. This year’s allocation is one of our most limited to date, with less than 100 bottles available for our most sought-after vintages.
"Each vintage is our opportunity to make our greatest wine. It's what inspires us in the vineyard and winery."
