Tasting Season May 1 – September 30

TASTE AT THE TOP

There’s nothing like tasting a wine on the land that birthed it, illuminated by conversation with the people involved in its making from bud-break to bottling.

Everything you need to know about arranging a private tasting of our wines at Ferrington Vineyard is shared below, along with places and proprietors that pour and sell our wines, and a few Anderson Valley highlights we recommend as well.

Adults: $45 per person (one fee waived for each 3 bottles purchased)

Tips to plan your trip

Tastings are strictly by appointment and must be made in advance of your visit. We suggest bringing sunscreen, windbreakers and hats.

When we confirm your tasting, we will forward a map that will guide you from the point GPS drops you off, through the vineyard, to where we will meet. We will also provide a cell number to reach us should you run late or become lost. Please be sure to bring these with you.

What you’ll experience

The birth of our daughter, Ella, in 2012 inspired us to create our wine label.

Fathers & Daughters founders, Sarah Schoeneman and Guy Pacurar.

The grapes we source have a voice. We listen intently.

We invite you to join our celebration of wine, family and life.

Fathers and daughters. Big and little chairs too!

Our family’s patriarch, Kurt Schoeneman.

We will sell no wine before daughter Taylor approves.
