    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The wine selection here is amazing. Everyone is very polite and they are attentive at the restaurant services. Very rustic and warm. Their stagione wine pairings are amazing. Cant wait to come back.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Food was delicious and steak was cooked perfectly. Service was great considering how busy it was. The spot is a fun area to walk around and explore.

    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.

    Very good Italian food. The clam linguine was perfect, they peeled the cherry tomato skin and covered by light buttery sauce in my salmon dish, just simply love it. After the lunch we did a little tour in the winery. How lovely! Will be back soon.

    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.

    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!

They somehow surpassed all expectations and hopes for our wedding. Let me start with the venue. I knew Catelli's would show well for a wedding, but it was truly unbelievable, especially after dark. We held the ceremony in the garden, and it was exactly what we would hope for. Intimate, beautifully decorated, and covered with lush green foliage in every direction. The reception was held on the patio, and was beautiful. We received dozens of comments from those who attended the wedding about how perfect and gorgeous the venue was. From the marble floor, to the wall of green, the beautiful olive trees, the landscape lighting, down to even the bathrooms. No stone has been left unturned at Catelli's. Secondly, the service from the staff and our coordinator were both professional and engaging. They made this day easy for us, which is saying a lot. Even the service and bar staff seemed to be having a good time, which seems like a rarity these days. Finally, the food was top notch. Our hat is off to chef Dominica Catelli. From the charcuterie table, to the appetizers, the main course, and finally the dessert table, every detail was covered perfectly. Our guests made countless comments on the food. For a day that you think about your entire life, we honestly don't know how it could have gone better. Much of that is thanks to Catelli's

The grounds are gorgeous, well kept, and somewhat whimsical. The owners (Karen and Jack) have a great eye for blending their beautiful gardens with the stunning Alexander Valley. Everyone was stunned by the beauty of the location. The property functions brilliantly as a wedding location. We had 125 guests for a ceremony, formal seated dinner, dancing, and a photobooth. There is a large area that is well hidden from the rest of the property that is perfect for catering and event prep work. Note that you have to get clever with catering, because the house kitchen is not to be used for cooking for large crowds. We used a paella caterer, which worked brilliantly. One of the secrets the property holds is the beautiful lighting that appears after dark. There is even a chandelier in a tree! We wouldn't have imagined the property could actually look even more beautiful after dark. The home itself is absolutely gorgeous, and it was such a treat to be able to have our entire immediate family together in one spot for three days. We echo the other reviews regarding the owners. Although a brilliant event space, the property is also Karen and Jack's home, and they expect you to respect it as such. So long as you understand this, everything should go smoothly. There were a couple of bumps between the owners and our wedding planner, but everything worked out in the end. Be sure to ask Karen her ideas if you take a tour. She had some creative insights on how to use the property.

Ask for a vineyard view if you go there. The rooms were nice, recently remodeled with a mini fridge, fireplace and comfy bed. Loud air conditioner and people talking in the hall detracted from ambiance. In the summer, they often have weddings or bands on the back lawn so be sure to ask about that.
