The Far Niente Napa Valley Wine Estate was established by John Benson in 1885. The name of the company derived from an Italian phrase that can be translated as ‘without a care’, even though creating the winery’s Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay is carried out with meticulous care, attention to detail and uncompromising craftmanship. This includes the parchment label with its intricate art nouveau design.

‘No detail is too small. No suggestion for improvement is ignored.’ The Far Niente winery is not messing around when it comes to the quality of their precious drop. This highly professional attitude is carried over to their personalised tastings, which can be done virtually.

The company will send you their curated selection of wines for the tasting to your doorstep and coordinate a time that works for everyone. The winery experts on the other side will guide you through this experience and are ready to answer all of your wine-related questions. It’s the perfect combination of learning and enjoyment and you can partake in this event with friends and family, wearing your comfiest clothes.
