Francis Ford Coppola Winery is intentionally much more than a winery. The Geyserville property combines wine tasting with cinema, food, swimming, bocce and entertainment, reflecting Coppola's original idea of creating a place where families and groups could spend time together rather than building a destination exclusively for serious wine drinkers.
Visitors who only want wine can keep the experience simple with a short tasting at the main-floor bar, where flights explore wines from Sonoma County and elsewhere in California. Those wanting more structure can select longer guided tastings or a winery tour. A self-guided audio tour explores the Coppola family, the films, the estate and the wines, while the tasting room includes wines ranging across the Coppola portfolio.
The Movie Gallery is a major distinction from virtually every other winery in Sonoma, displaying memorabilia connected to Francis Ford Coppola's filmmaking career. Rustic restaurant, the pool and other activities can turn the property into a multi-hour destination. This makes Coppola particularly appealing to mixed groups in which not everyone is passionate about wine, as well as travelers who want one memorable Sonoma stop that offers far more to do than simply taste several wines.
