🥂 Gloria Ferrer sparkling wines pair perfectly with porches and everything from fried chicken to sushi

Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards is known for its sparkling wines and was one of the first to bring traditional Champagne method sparkling production to the Carneros region. With a focus on crisp, easy-drinking bubbles, it’s a name you’ll see on wine lists well beyond Sonoma.

Why you should go: Bubbles and bites on the terrace at Gloria Ferrer overlooking the vineyards is arguably the best way to start a day. Sparkling wine pairs with everything. Taste on the Terrace is an experience you definitely want to book if you’re planning a Sonoma trip. A wine educator tastes you through all the sparkling wines paired with bites prepared by the chef. Fabulous.

Wines to open at home:

• Sonoma Brut is crafted from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. It tastes like a bubbly mix of crisp apples and toast. Have a glass with anything from pizza to sushi – this is such a versatile bottle of wine!
• Gloria Ferrer Brut Rosé tastes like berries, is smooth and not too sweet, and a great bottle of bubbles to open at 4pm with a chill playlist.
