Gary Farrell Winery
Gary Farrell Winery out Westside Road, perched high atop its hillside, gazing out across the RRV….
Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery, a pioneer in producing single-vineyard Russian River Valley pinot noir and chardonnay, where the wines are as much about where they are crafted as how they are crafted, welcomes guests to its magical hillside home, a pleasant jaunt out Westside Road, with phenomenal Russian River Valley views, a spectacular winery, outside venue areas, gardens, and a warm, hospitable TR with fireplace, soaring ceilings, great bar and again, those fantastic views….Home to the Grand Crew Wine Club with lots of Features & Benefits, including members-only Events, the TR is the center of the action, glass doors opening the exterior hospitality space to the interior. Here you will find great wines, sweet Farrell Kitty Greta, new Terrace Tasting, where you can sit, sip and savor the stunning views in this spectacular setting, where the natural landscape and redwood trees give way to the more manicured grounds and gardens surrounding the winery, built with broad entrances and high ceilings to capture every bit of natural beauty. I am always taken with a new vista on each visit. The meticulously hand-crafted, single vineyard wines, showing off their layers of delicious complexity are a perfect complement.
The approach off Westside Road.
The climb begins up the enchanted hill….
The gorgeous doors leading into the Barrel Room.
Spring is just catching on today. Spectacular skies- cloudy one moment, sunshine the next.
View to the west, looking over the Russian River Valley towards the Pacific.
View west, slightly south….
That great fireplace…
Those spectacular soaring ceilings- beams and light seem to make up the structure.
The TR Bar with those panoramic views.
Lots of arty non-wine; reminds me of the wild turkeys out along the driveway.
The TR Cat: Greta the Farrell Cat…play on “feral”???
