Wine Tasting

Tasting wine at Domaine Carneros is an experience you should not miss. The ambiance is reminiscent of a visit to a French chateau. Situated on a hill overlooking the vines and ornate gardens, it was modeled after Chateau de la Marquetterie in Champagne, France, but even larger. You can sip your bubbly in the elegant salon or on the extensive outdoor terraces and take in the sunshine and amazing views. Caviar and cheese plates are also available.

Wine Club

Domaine Carneros Chateau Society Wine Club offers special benefits for members including discounts, members only wines, 2, 4, 6 or 12 bottle shipments six times per year, complimentary winery tours and tastings, and private terrace seating for members and guests on weekends.
