Reviews for Rustic at Francis Ford Coppola Winery in Geyserville, CA

The most unique of all the vineyards I have experienced. I spent 3 days in Sonoma & have previously visited Napa 3 times. This... vineyard was one of my favorite experiences and was followed by my favorite, Baca, just down the street. Seeing the moviememorabilia inside was so neat and I loved the indoor & outdoor seating options. Highly recommend visiting the pool and makinga day of it. To top it off, there is a cute shopping complex in Downtown Healdsburg that has a great variety of shopping,coffee, food, & tasting bars. Read more

Excellent meal. We had a family gathering 11 folks deep. They easily accommodated us on the day of because they weren't taking... reservations when we called a couple days prior. The food was great. Loved all the memorabilia, especially the bamboo cage fromApocalypse Now. I got to eat inside of it, just like Mr. Sheen/Estevez. Great times for sure! They have that lovely outdoor poolwhich is great in the heat of the summer. And a cabana bar on the deck that serves adult libations o plenty. We've eaten hereseveral times in the past, and this outing was another feather in the cap of successful suppers. I think you and your loved onesare going to enjoy your time at Coppola Winery and Rustic, because they seem to specialize in deliciously entertaining times.Tell them Banger sent you for 20% of your check, and a free appetizer! w00t w00t Read more

They have completely lost the plot. Used to be a favorite restaurant of ours until our final visit on July 24, 2022. Server... knowingly brought me the incorrect wine from what I had specifically ordered and declined to show me the label or check in withme prior to pouring. After calling him back once I’d seen the label, initial response was ‘Surely you don’t expect us toreprint the menu every time the wines change’ and then switched to ‘I brought you a Reserve Cab so what’s the issue’ thefact I chose the Stuhlmuller vineyard (rather than the Battle family which was poured), I clearly received the ignorant touristtreatment. While I might expect that from the odd restaurant, I would never expect it from a Vineyard serving their own wines.Food was ok however bread rolls were only provided on request whereas usually, these are delivered warm to the table early onand are a key favorite/draw. While you can throw all the money you like at buying an asset, if you lose the inherent experience,you’ll lose your investment in the end, mark my words… Read more

Had dinner here on our first night of Passport Weekend and enjoyed it. The place is lovely and the memorabilia is interesting. ... Loved the cork chandelier. We had a pizza and enjoyed it. Read more

The caprese salad was delicious while I thought the rigatoni with meatballs was fine but not outstanding. Lovely views!

Dinner was good. Nothing really special about food but being in the Winery made it nice. Lovely grounds and Coppola memorabilia.... But what made our evening so fun was the cute, delightful bartender. She was attentive and full of suggestions and madedelicious drinks. She made our time there very special. Read more

I give two stars for the beautiful building, the cute patio, and the view. The food was "beyond" below expectations. We got the... fried zuchinni and the burger. Both were so bad we felt like we had to push through to eat them. The zuchinni was overly salty.It was also overly breaded with each bite being mostly the breadcrumbs with a little bit of zuchinni and a ton of salt. Theburger was also overly salty. Same for the fries. To compare, In N Out fries beat these (over-salted) fries out of the water.Then the meat in the burger had an unsavory smell. If you're coming here, adjust your expectations to nothing more than (bad)bar food. Read more

Risotto and chicken was on point. I honestly never thought I would enjoy a chicken dish at a restaurant but the chicken here... was extremely good. Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Meatballs and salmon had robust and rich flavors. Dessert wasexcellent. I especially enjoyed the hazelnut gelato. Service was prompt and views were gorgeous. However, the pastas left a lotto be desired and was shockingly bad. Tomato sauce was flavorless and under-spiced. The pasta was overcooked and mushy. Thecarbonara was basic. For the technically challenging aspects of the dishes to be amazing but for the basic components of thedishes to be so badly executed is extremely disappointing. If we didn’t ordered the pasta dishes this would have been easilya 5/5 experience. Read more
