Warning - our tour guide at Far Niente was pretentious, but the wines and the car collection were nice. If you like Far Niente, you should try touring Opus One. :)

Of the wineries we liked, here are some, listed here in random order:


Hess Collection. In addition to the tasting room, the winery features a modern art collection display and a lovely garden. Great for place for non-drinkers, too! http://www.hesscollection.com/
Domaine Chandon - bubbles. and a very pretty, relaxing garden. http://m.chandon.com/index.html#/visit_us
St Supery. You have to try their whites.
Sterling Vinyards. How can one pass up the wine tour that starts with a scenic air tram ride? The winery is located on the top of a hill overlooking the valley below (and the Culinary Institute campus can be seen in the distance).

Mumm - another great bubbly place which has a nice patio where you can sip your drinks and relax. There is a small art or photo exibition in the barn-like building next to the patio.


Of course, when it comes to buying wine, everyone loves Raymond’s. :)
