Staff met us warmly at the entrance to the chateau like building; we highly recommend the tour so that you know the story of the Coppola family better, their highs and lows that they went through; his movies and to learn so much about Coppola's wife, Eleanor -Francis's rock! The restaurant and atmosphere for lunch was good; I urge you to try the three course menu; each wine pairing was excellent. Our group were able to experience a delightful meal with much conversation supported by an attentive staff. We'll come by to celebrate a birthday or any other special occasion. read more

Came by on a cold, windy, rainy afternoon for lunch with some friends. We were greeted on entering and directed to where we need to go. The restaurant is the building to the left as you enter as well as the museum. We ordered the 3 course menu with wine pairing for what I thought was a great price. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the wine pairings. The crab fritter with caviar: 3.5 stars. It was a fried potato ball with minimal crab. The caviar and accompanying sauce is what made the dish. The mushroom risotto: 3 stars. Perhaps it's because I don't care for risotto - too moist for rice. However the flavor was good, albeit a little salty. The mushroom were cooked for perfection and delicious, wish I had more. The salmon with broccolini:3 stars. cooked to order. I like mine well done due to preventions of parasites. But it was still moist. The accompanying sauce did not help flavor much but I guess I could have put more salt. I really enjoy the veggies in the dish. The broccolini was cooked the way I like and the rings of squash were tender and sweet. The hubby got the beef shoulder for his third course:5 stars. Tender and falls apart much like a pot roast. Flavorful as well. Apple tart and ice cream: 4 stars. I actually enjoyed the dish. Not too sweet. You can taste all the flavors and texture. Over all we had a great time with the wine, food was accompaniment. The museum was fun to stroll thru as well. read more

Stopped in for a few glasses of wine with my friends. Had a lovely experience at this beautiful winery. There is ample space and beautiful views all around. I also have to commend their service, my friends are not big wine drinkers and the person pouring for us was kind and patient, made sure to get my friends the right pours they would not like but Love. Really appreciate the patience and attention to detail. My only thing I would comment is we were considering renting a space for the pool, and it was a little too rich for us over $300 for 4 pool chairs was something to keep in mind if that is why you are visiting. read more

Visited Coppola winery during Taste of Alexander Valley (April 2026). They offered their sneak preview wine tasting as complimentary. It featured three wines - 2024 Diamond shimmer white blend , 2023 Directors Cut Zinfandel and 2023 Diamond Claret. I purchased the shimmer white blend, perfect for sitting outside during the upcoming summer months. Their wines are widely available in the local area stores, so I regularly buy their Prosecco. The wines are approachable and reasonably priced. The grounds are expansive offering a destination feel welcoming the entire family. The estate features wines, a restaurant, a pool and film memorabilia. If you're a fan of Coppola movies it's a must visit. The memorabilia includes items from Apocalypse Now, Dracula, The God Father ( to name a few). The memorabilia area is free. Love The God Father? - take a picture with Don Corleone's desk. There is also the Torpedo car from Tucker. You can easily spend the day here. In the summer they offer a Tuesday night dinner series that is part theater part family style dinner - be immersed in a big boisterous Italian family dinner. I definitely want to attend one of these upcoming dinners. It's a fun place with lots to see and do. read more

Some say Coppola is touristy but for my family it was a memorable experience we will treasure forever. My parents have always loved Coppola wine and visiting the winery in person gave the wine new meaning for us. We enjoyed the tour, discovering all of the film memorabilia, as well as a tasting at the bar. We also enjoyed zuccini fries on the patio afterward. It was a gorgeous day. And worth the drive. read more

Summer has arrived. A day by the pool, wine tasting, and peace. Pool time was relaxing, and peaceful. Not crowded so it was worth the visit. We followed with wine tasting and took in those beautiful views! Throughout the day we received excellent service and enjoyed the serene ambiance. What a perfect setting for a memorable experience. read more

Excellent place to visit as the wonders has a wonderful restaurant where we ate at, a lovely mini Musuem to see the highlight of movies and props the Coppola family directed did like Godfather, Marie Antoinette and etc. Interesting facts and pieces of several outstanding movies. There is wine tasting available as well. I enjoyed my time here. What was also unique at this winery besides the Musuem was there was a pool here, reserve cabine, and pool bar cafe. This is definitely unique to find at a winery. This is a good winery to visit. read more

Great food, great location, wonderful atmosphere! Always not going there I love their pool

Despite this winery's remote location, it still garners over 1000 reviews. Lots of yelpers really love the pool here and there are a number of events that do surround it. There is so much to see here which obviously includes numerous momentos of Coppola's movies. There's so much to see here because it is both a winery and museum. You can make a reservation to sit in their tasting room upstairs and try their wines for a price like we did. You can also dine in the restaurant downstairs (The Rustic) and purchase some tourist swag. The food menu at the rustic is pretty limited, but very good. Service from both the restaurant and winery staff is as professional as it gets. Coming here will leave a lasting impression on you. Check out the fun and informative photos/video. read more

We visited Coppola as part of three vineyards my boyfriend took me to for my birthday. We enjoy a good cab sav by Coppola at home so we thought it would be a good time. Not only was the tasting and lunch delicious, but I had no idea Coppola was the director of Brom Stoker's Dracula. (To be fair I never pay much attention to producer's or directors.) so when I saw the attire and props from the movie it was a VERY nice surprise. (I love that movie and vampires in general so I was nerding out a little.) The staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The vineyard itself is beautiful and inside was neatly decorated with various movie props. I'd def go back in the warmer months to take advantage of a glass of wine by the pool. read more

My friend and I came for a 3pm tour and an early dinner. This was on a Friday. The tour was informative and interesting, but lacked action. We had hoped to see people in the production areas putting labels on bottles or corking them, etc. In the restaurant, we ordered a couple of drinks, but mine they wouldn't (or couldn't) make. I was encouraged to go to the pool- lounge bar, order it and return. When I came back to the table, Mai Tai in hand, we proceeded. The drink thing was the only odd part of our visit, and not worth knocking them down a whole star. We both ordered the wild salmon, which was seared and seasoned to perfection and accompanied by fresh organic vegetables from the garden below, which we explored afterwards. The weather was fantastic and the people watching was fun too! You can't go wrong with this place--it's absolutely incredible; filled with architectural and environmental beauty. Parking is fairly abundant, though shaded spots are few. read more

Loved my visit to Francis Coppola Winery! Took the winery tour, definitely worth the $10 a person! Was very cool to see the inside of the winery operations as well as all the movie memorabilia. Our tour guide was great and answered all our questions. The grounds are gorgeous! I want to come back during the summer season to see the pool in action and play some bocce! Can't wait to return and try the cute looking restaurant as we were told the food is very good. read more

My family and I came here to celebrate mine and my siblings birthday and we had a great time. We had pizza which the kids loved, crust just right. I had the seafood pasta, I think it could use more flavor it was a little too bland for me. Calamari had barely calamari it was mostly the cruncy batter. We did have a great service despite the below average food. The plaace was nice but it was a little too tight as were packed next to another big group even though the place had barely anyone in it. read more

Francis Ford Coppola Winery - Surf and turf--steam and shrimp, broccolini - Wineries Near Me - Geyserville, California

Wow this is a Hollywood style winery full of attractions and with Omni presence of Francis Coppola a great master of the big screen. From Apocalypse now, Count Dracula to the God Father; we have all been inspired and mesmerized by his cinematographic genius. Now to the winery you have a bistro like tavern, a restaurant, several shops and of course a cool wine tasting spot with some delicious wines. In 1975, with the profits from The Godfather series, Coppola purchased Niebaum Mansion in Rutherford, California, along with 100 acres of premium Napa vineyards. Niebaum was once part of Inglenook, which some consider the most beautiful wine estate in the world. read more

This is the perfect place to go for film and wine lovers! I am very grateful I had the experience of being here. I made reservations for a tasting and lunch about a month in advance. It would have been nice to have the option of making the tasting reservation online, but calling was still extremely easy. I believe I called and left a message and my call was returned the next day. Finding the winery is easy (provided you don't lose reception on the way) and there is plenty of parking! The grounds are stunning and the building is beautiful! Being a quasi-cinephile, I really appreciated seeing the awards, costumes, and film memorabilia. Very cool being able to sip wine among film history. We were seated for our tasting indoors as it was too rainy for the terrace. Deb was wonderful as she walked us through the reserve wines. We ended up joining the wine family and our tasting was free! We also got an additional taste of the Archimedes - a lovely touch. I would love to come back in the future when the weather is a little nicer and maybe catch a game of bocce! read more

We love this winery and the pool! Every summer we make sure to go to the pool once a month and we really enjoy the wines and the vibe and the pool service. In the past I would have rated it 5 stars but recently a few things changed that actually impacted our overall experience and enjoyment. One is that they closed the restaurant for dinner service. This was a huge bummer for us because we used to always go to the pool, then shower and get ready in the cabine and just walk right over to dinner. It was a perfect end to a great day! This past weekend we were told the restaurant would be closed when we tried to make a reservation so we ended up eating at a different restaurant in healdsburg. I'm hoping they can find a way to have the restaurant open for dinner because the food is great and it was always nice to walk right over! Also their pool lunch menu has become increasingly more limited over the years. They used to have these delicious olives and snack plates and over time more and more has been taken away. This summer it's only 1 salad, 1 grain bowl, 2 pizzas, kids menu, and maybe 3 appetizers (I don't remember exactly). I did appreciate when there used to be more options! read more

I absolutely love the Francis Ford Coppola winery. I have been to the one located in the general Napa area, and this was my first time at this new location in Healdsburg. Yes, if you're visiting Napa, do you want to go to the original location unless you're looking to drive an hour and a half to this newer location. Is it worth a drive?! Hell yes it is! This is a great location for a date ( we enjoyed it), hanging with friends, etc. If you love the nostalgia of old Hollywood, coupled with the great works of Francis Ford Coppola ( nostalgia), you will absolutely adore this place as much as I do. It's very reminiscent of Hearst Castle in many ways, and the pool and cabanas are a must see. Everything about the property is breathtaking. You're free to wander about and shop in the store located downstairs, or if you've made reservations for one of their winetasting/dining areas, you will love everything about the experience. While you don't need reservations for the general bar area, it's small and you don't have the same experience , as you would the other locations. They offer every wine that they produce for tastings, and many of them are available for purchase in the store. The store also carries a couple of unique wines that are only available at the property. The wine varieties are all wonderful, and if you're looking for a place to enjoying either a glass, or a flight, this is that place! There is an additional restaurant that is on site, but reservations are currently required. Tastings are reasonably priced, and an experience to be enjoyed. You will not feel rushed or hurried out. Go enjoy! Tell them I sent you ;-) read more

Jaw dropping architecture inside and out, many things associated with the movies made by Francis Ford. I had food inside at a smaller bar between main restaurant and the pool where you can also eat. Delicious food and drinks! Many different gift shops inside, amazing pool and cabanas outside. Great service all around! Best winery to go to hands down! read more

Arrived at Noon. We're able to get a terrace tasting with out reservations. It was very nice. I with they offered a cheese platter to eat during the tasting. It was a long drive and we were hungry. The terrace is beautiful a perfect setting for a tasting. At the beginning of the tasting I made a lunch reservation in an hr. Only inside was available. It was still very nice. The setting is festive and elegant. Decorated with olive oil bottles. We had the lasagna and it was phenomenal. I'd order it again. I also had the sausage sandwich. Tasty but a little spicy. There is a lot of memorabilia up and down stairs. If you love the godfather you can get a autographed binder of script, notes, pictures, ect. For $500. What a great souvenir. We didn't see a tour option and forgot to ask. I recommend coming here and try the terrace tasting for the ambiance. They have a walk up tasting inside. read more

All my life living up here (vallejo to ukiah), I've never come to visit this place. Now that I have, I will come back and check out the swim area.

Loved seeing all the movie props and the rest of this place. read more

I had been wanting to go to this winery for several years and somehow never made it. So happy I did this time around! This winery has everything you could ask for. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and a menu full of comfort food. We ordered the margarita pizza and the pasta puttanesca and both were delicious and satisfying. Their house bread was somewhat confusing. It was tiny and looked like a mini donut. I was hoping to get some actual baguette or ciabatta to go with my pasta so I could soak up all the delicious sauce but had to settle for awkwardly dipping the mini donut. Their wines are high quality and my goodness there are so many of them. I drank a Zinfandel (Director's Cut) with the pasta which was a great pairing. We did the reserve wine tasting after. While I love red wine and was satisfied either way, I was surprised by how little white (1) versus red (3) wines were being offered in this tasting. The Prosecco at the beginning was actually our favorite and it was easy to take a few bottles home. The real highlight though was Coppola's director memorabilia. We were blown away by the awards showcased. This was my first time actually seeing an Oscar (well technically five). You can not get more iconic movies than the Godfather so it felt incredibly special to be able to see the Oscars for these. There was also a car on display that Coppola designed, so cool. The estate comes with a pool area that I know you can rent cabanas for in the warmer times of the year. I've debated in the past making some reservations for it but have to admit that actually seeing it now took away some if its appeal. It looked nicer online somehow. It might have been because it was off season though. read more

Wow!!! The view was stunning, and our server Nathan was awesome. Since we are wine members, they treated us with a complementary shot glass of corn purée topped with fresh basil pesto from their garden. My husband ordered the sausage which he said was very good. I ordered the pork tenderloin which was cooked to perfection. It was topped by some type of a peach sauce, which was mild and sweet. The pork was very tender and tasty. The mashed potatoes were good and the grilled zucchini was great as well. I should mention that they were very sensitive and accommodating to my gluten-free request. I don't remember what type of wine my husband had, but he enjoyed it with his meal. I had a refreshing Prosecco before we started our meal. read more

The ultimate visitor's paradise! Coppola wine is always a solid choice. You can never go wrong because they are all tasty, but it's also good for friends who are not really wine drinkers too. You can visit for all the Godfather movie props, the Italian food (pizzas were always my favorite), they even have a bar that offers beer, and then there's also the pool for the summer time! This makes wine tasting while watching the kids a bit easier. You can order by the pool too! If you book the cabine, you're assured reserved lounge chairs for 4 and a little sparkling wine to start the day on a good note. The location is gorgeous. It overlooks the vineyard if you eat in the restaurant and ask for an outdoor table. The service is always top notch too. My sister calls it the wine tasting experience you dream of when you think of wine country. read more

Sadly, we arrived 30min before closing so we couldn't have a tasting. We had a glass of wine though and could visit the Movie Gallery. It was pretty exciting to see the memorabilia. The sommelier was very friendly, I can't remember her name. I told her what wines do I like and her recommendation was on point. I loved it so much I bought a bottle. The restrooms are big and clean. They have a nice selection of wines and gifts. If you're hungry, you can eat at Rustic, the restaurant. Definitely something to try next time. We felt very welcome there.

I was going to buy wine here until I got called in N-word by Caleigh Buchignani who works here. Let's teach the staff to have basic self regulation skills and not call people the slurs that they are acting like. I will not support a business that allows them to engage the public in that manner. TAKE SOME TRAINING GEEZ. People are way too old looking to be acting like toddlers, and getting caught. read more

The wine here is fine and there's a bunch of movie paraphernalia around. It's not a chic, intimate winery experience by any means - more of a Disneyland feel - but there are excellent amenities (and views!) and that's what will bring me back. We were glamping nearby in a large group with kiddos, and decided to bring the squad here for some grown up fun while the kiddos enjoyed the kid-centered play areas (play fort with books to read, bocce ball, bean bag toss, etc). We didn't know about the pool in advance, but we would definitely return for that. The folks running this place are friendly and all the available amenities are well thought out. A good place to take family and groups for an outing that includes wine. read more
