About us

Far Niente – Italian for "idleness." This poetic name expresses the philosophy of a winery that, since its founding in 1880 in the heart of Napa Valley, has transformed every drop of wine into an artistic experience. Far Niente combines a passion for perfection, respect for nature, and deep humility toward tradition, resulting in wines that have become symbols of elegance and timelessness.

Today, the Far Niente Wine Estates brand also includes other exceptional wineries – Nickel & Nickel, specializing in single-vineyard wines; Bella Union, with masterfully balanced cuvées; EnRoute from Russian River Valley, focusing on Pinot Noir; Post & Beam, which brings a modern perspective to classic varieties; and the unique Dolce, a symbol of sweet idleness in liquid form.

Every bottle of Far Niente carries the same message: live with grace, create with passion, and savor the beauty of the moment – Dolce Far Niente.
