About Farella Vineyard
Farella Vineyard is a strong Coombsville choice for visitors who want a small, family-run estate rather than a high-volume Napa tasting room. The experience is deliberately personal: weekday tastings are by appointment, and the winery notes that a visit may even include time with the winemaker. That scale changes the tone of the stop from service-driven hospitality to a conversation about the vineyard and wines. The estate sits at 2222 North 3rd Avenue in Napa, within the cooler Coombsville area east of the city. Tastings are offered Monday through Friday by appointment only and are currently $50 per person.
The fee can be applied toward onsite purchases of six bottles or more. Because the winery is small, inquiries are handled personally rather than through a large, always-open tasting operation, so allow time for a response before structuring the day. A Farella visit is particularly useful for travelers who want to understand Coombsville beyond the name on a bottle. Ask how the area's climate and vineyard conditions influence the wines, and let the host choose a tasting sequence that connects the estate to the broader Napa Valley. If the winemaker is present, the value is in asking about decisions, vintages and farming rather than trying to speed through a fixed flight.
This is best suited to adults, couples and small parties who appreciate quiet appointments. It is not a spontaneous weekend stop, and the Monday-through-Friday schedule makes it especially helpful for travelers visiting Napa midweek. Before going, confirm the date, time, guest count and any current purchase-waiver details. Keep the next appointment close enough geographically that the day remains relaxed. Farella is at its best when the visit feels like time at a working family vineyard, not another stop squeezed into a tasting-room marathon.
Farella's 1979 plantings produced the first Cabernet Sauvignon made in what later became the Coombsville-Napa Valley AVA.

"Farella Vineyard is best understood as family-owned Coombsville vineyard wines and personal winemaker-led visits."
