Domaine Carneros is a singular Napa Valley winery best known as a small grower-producer of méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine, estate vineyards and a breathtakingly beautiful Château.  In the spacious and opulent private tasting room, you will discover the Art of Sparkling Wine Pairing that will take you on a journey of discovery through unexpected and delightful pairings with sparkling wine.

About Etude Winery

Tucked away in the far northwest corner of the esteemed Carneros appellation is a rambling tract of grazing land that is bisected by the Rodgers Creek Fault Line at the southern toe of Sonoma Mountain. Unlike customary Carneros acreage, which is largely uplifted by bottoms with soils composed of clay, the soils on the Etude Estate site are variations of volcanic origin. They are well drained, rocky upland soils. Combining these soils with the extreme western location closer to the Pacific Ocean makes this site a decidedly distinct destination (if not entirely atypical for Carneros). Etude believes sustainable farming results in better, higher quality wine, and ensures the viability of their estate for generations to come. Known for their flagship Heirloom Pinot Noir to their small-lot Napa Valley Cabernet and customer favorite Pinot Gris, Etude has been crafting award-winning wines for 35 years.

Gloria Ferrer Wine Estate

Tasting event: 10:30am – 12:30pm

Welcome to the Sonoma side of Carneros, where grape growing is also defined by maritime influences of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. These bodies of water and corresponding currents create cool summer temperatures and moderate winters. A long growing season coaxes the grapes to maturity slowly and consistently with a desirable balance of sugar and acidity – the perfect setting for the craft of sparkling wine.

Enter Gloria Ferrer, the first sparkling winery in Carneros.

With a designated private tasting space, a level down from the hilltop winery and closer to the vineyards, Gloria Ferrer will delight your taste buds with a flight of four individual estate vintage sparkling wines. Shareable bites are also available for purchase. 

About Gloria Ferrer Wine Estate

José Ferrer championed his family’s dream of producing exceptional traditional method sparkling wine in the New World. In the 1980s, he ventured from Barcelona, Spain to Sonoma, California with his wife Gloria in search of the ultimate region to make sparkling wine. They settled upon Carneros. For the Ferrers, whose Spanish sparkling winegrowing experience goes back generations, the potential of Los Carneros was unmistakable, even before it became an established AVA. They recognized the ideal climate for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — and thus the perfect terroir for brilliant sparkling wines. Known for: Pinot Noir dominant sparkling wines

About Anaba

At the heart of Anaba Wines lies the extraordinary journey of John Sweazey, the driving force behind this family-owned winery. John’s path to creating a world-class wine estate spans four decades and stands as a testament to his diverse experiences and unyielding dedication. Hailing from suburban Park Ridge, IL, John’s trajectory took him from studying business at Stanford University to venturing into computer sales and embarking on a transformative European exploration in a VW van. This adventure ignited his passion for wine and planted the seeds for what Anaba Wines would eventually become. The name, Anaba, is derived from the anabatic winds that flow through the vineyards that drive morning fog from the vineyards and bring in cooling breezes in the late afternoon.

Known for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Rhone-style wines made from grapes grown on Anaba’s estate in Carneros, as well as from grapes grown by their long-standing Sonoma wine grower partners.
