A Note of Gratitude from Our General Manager

As we settle into the rhythm of a new year, I’ve been reflecting on the many moments that shaped the last one — and the community that made them meaningful.

Whether you visited us in Carneros, shared our wines with friends, celebrated milestones, or simply chose Gloria Ferrer for an everyday glass, you were a part of our story in 2025. For that, I want to offer my heartfelt thanks.

This past year brought meaningful milestones. We celebrated the release of our 2023 Rouge, welcomed over 1,300 new members, and were named one of Forbes’ Top 5 Sparkling Wineries in Northern California. Perhaps most meaningful of all, we achieved CCOF organic certification — a reflection of our long-standing commitment to the land and to sustainability in every step of our process.

Behind these accomplishments is a passionate team. From vineyard and cellar to hospitality and beyond, every bottle begins with hard-working hands and hearts that care deeply about what we do. It’s a privilege to work alongside them, and to share the results with you.

Looking ahead, we’re entering 2026 with excitement and clarity. We’ll continue to elevate your experiences — both here at the Estate and wherever you enjoy our wines — and deepen the value of membership through new benefits and meaningful connection.

From all of us at Gloria Ferrer, thank you for making us part of your moments. We look forward to raising a glass with you soon.

Warmly,

Melanie Schafer
