About Francis Ford Coppola Winery
Francis Ford Coppola Winery is the most theatrical wine estate in California, and unabashedly so. Opened in 2010 in Geyserville after the director sold the historic Inglenook estate in Napa, the Sonoma property was designed as a destination: two swimming pools, a full Italian restaurant, bocce courts, arcade games, movie memorabilia from Coppola's films (including Don Corleone's desk and Tucker's car), and a genuine sense of occasion that other wineries either can't or won't attempt.
The wines themselves are honest and approachable, the Director's Cut series is the premium line, and the Sofia (named for his daughter) sparkling wines in cans have become cult favorites. This isn't a destination for serious collectors, but it's one of the most genuinely fun, family-friendly, and entertaining winery experiences in Sonoma County.
The pool day passes, allowing access to the cabanas and pools alongside wine by the glass, make Coppola a unique summer destination that draws as much from the resort category as the wine tourism one.
At its Geyserville, Sonoma County location, Francis Ford Coppola Winery presents a featured lineup that includes Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon, Sofia Blanc de Blancs, Rosso Zinfandel, and Director's Cut Chardonnay. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.

Featured Wines
Cabernet Sauvignon
Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon
The premium Coppola line, rich, approachable Alexander Valley Cabernet with genuine complexity. Much better than the casual atmosphere might suggest.
Sparkling (Chardonnay)
Sofia Blanc de Blancs
The wine that made canned sparkling wine culturally acceptable. Named for daughter Sofia Coppola, light, fun, and perfect in a can by the pool.
Zinfandel
Rosso Zinfandel
Big, juicy, crowd-pleasing Sonoma Zinfandel. Spicy, fruit-forward, and built for the restaurant table.
Chardonnay
Director's Cut Chardonnay
Premium RRV Chardonnay from the Director's Cut line, showing the cool-climate elegance of the appellation.
🥂
Poolside Tasting
Day pass from $30
The Coppola signature, rent a cabana, grab wine by the glass, and spend the day by the pool. One of the few winery experiences that's genuinely resort-like.
🥂
Director's Cut Tasting
$30
A guided flight of Coppola's premium Director's Cut series in the tasting room, with movie memorabilia as the backdrop.
🥂
Rustic Restaurant Lunch
À la carte
Italian-inspired food in the full-service restaurant on the estate, better than you'd expect and the best way to spend a leisurely afternoon here.
