The Francis Ford Coppola Winery, a sprawling property located on a picturesque hill surrounded by vineyards, produces more than 40 award-winning premium wines. Founded by the legendary Hollywood director for which it is named, the winery features a mini-museum of Coppola movie memorabilia from "The Godfather," "Apocalypse Now," "Tucker," and more. We will enjoy a seated tasting of limited production wines while overlooking the gardens and vineyards of Alexander Valley. We will have free time to explore the museum and gift shop before driving to Geyserville for lunch at the Geyserville Grille, housed in the historic Hoffman House, a beautifully restored Craftsman-style bungalow. This trip is limited to 40 people.
