Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards

Perched on a hillside with commanding views of the Carneros vineyards, Gloria Ferrer brings the Spanish tradition of Cava to California. The winery was founded by the Ferrer family of Barcelona, and every detail—from the architecture to the wines—reflects their Catalan heritage. Specializing in méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines, Gloria Ferrer also produces excellent still Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from their cool-climate estate vineyards. The cave tour is particularly worthwhile, offering a glimpse into the traditional methods of sparkling wine production. For guests at Sonoma Grove Suites, Gloria Ferrer is perfect for a celebratory visit. The terrace overlooking the vines is ideal for a leisurely afternoon of bubbles, and the staff excels at making every guest feel special. The setting is elegant without being stuffy. Reservations recommended for seated tastings. The terrace is first-come-first-served and fills up quickly on nice days.
