Ferrari-Carano built its name on Fumé Blanc, a crisp white that became its signature long before Sonoma was a household name. The Dry Creek Valley estate is famous for its sprawling Villa Fiore gardens, which draw visitors who come as much for the grounds as the wine. Expect a polished, approachable tasting and a range that spans easy-drinking whites to serious Bordeaux-style reds. Walk-ins are generally welcome, making it an easy stop on a Dry Creek day.
