If you’d like to use one of your referral passes, please let us know when you’re booking the experience. If members are unable to join their group (and don’t want to use their referral passes), we are happy to extend 50% savings on tasting fees to club member guests, up to a party of 4.

Club members now receive $20* flat rate ground and cold chain shipping on their wine club orders. *$50 flat rate for AK and HI. Additional tenure benefits apply.
We now have two shipping locations which means members in most cities receive their wines in 2-3 days via ground shipping. In states where it’s too hot to ship ground, we will ship via FedEx cold chain which takes longer but ensures your wine travels to the hub in temperature control at which point it gets upgraded to priority to be delivered by 12pm.
Unless you have already specified FedEx for your shipment, we ship our wines via UPS ground. If you’d like to request FedEx, please contact us at 707-302-3635 or wineclub@farniente.com.
Our storied history has created incredible moments, relationships, and even recipes.
"Lots to like here, with a well of açai, plum and blackberry fruit to draw on and extra sweet spice, licorice, bay and sassafras accents adding range. Finish pumps along nicely, pulling everything together. Well built. Best from 2022 through 2033."
"A strong showing of black cherry and licorice lead the way to a soft, supple midpalate in this wine that's aged in French oak, half new and half once-used. Secondary notes of nutmeg, clove and coffee permeate through the structure and weight of the palate. Enjoy from 2028–2038."
"Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon State Ranch was aged for 18 months in French oak, 50% new. Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose is redolent of chocolate-covered cherries, blackberry preserves and black currant jelly with touches of wild sage, cast iron pan and cardamom with a waft of cumin seed. Full-bodied, the palate bursts with crunchy black fruit and loads of spicy accents, supported by firm grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and lively."
Wine Enthusiast released new scores, including 95 points for Far Niente's 2018 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 95 points for Nickel and Nickel's 2018 John C. Sullenger Cabernet Sauvignon, and more.
