About the Winery
Far Mountain is the label of Mai Errazuriz and Rodrigo Soto, who have spent three decades working for leading wineries in North and South America. It began with a dinner in Napa with longtime friends and a long talk about the direction of California wine. The name describes the vineyards they work with: remote mountain sites, mostly in the Moon Mountain District and the hills above the Sonoma Valley.
The Chardonnays, Myrna and Bresa, come from Bald Mountain Vineyard, planted in 1972 and dry farmed on fractured basalt at over 1,800 feet. The Cabernets come from Alta Vista, a terraced, dry-farmed site above the town of Sonoma with vines more than 50 years old; Montecillo, first planted in 1860 at 1,400 to 1,800 feet; and Monte Rosso, planted in the 1880s in red volcanic soils. The Nunnery, a Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend, comes from a Nunns Canyon vineyard planted and farmed organically by Phil Coturri.
Far Mountain sells its wine through its mailing list; you join the list to purchase. It publishes no address and has no tasting room, so it does not receive visitors. The day below stays in the Sonoma Valley, with a cave tasting on Moon Mountain itself and a tasting of the Coturri family's Moon Mountain wines.
Tasting Fees
Far Mountain does not offer tastings. On the day below, expect about $245 to $255 per person: $125 at Repris, $75 at Winery Sixteen 600 and $45 to $55 at Bartholomew Estate.
Tasting fees as of October 2026. Wineries set and collect their own fees, and they change from time to time.

A Suggested Six-Hour Day
Pickup at 10:00 a.m. from a nearby hotel such as Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn or MacArthur Place.

Since Far Mountain does not host visitors, this day takes you to three sought-after estates nearby that do. Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn is about 10 minutes from the first stop, and MacArthur Place, near the Sonoma Plaza, about 20. The day runs about seven hours, and extra time can be added by the hour.
10:20 · Repris Wines
About 20 minutes away. Mountain wines from the historic Moon Mountain Vineyard, high in the same district as Far Mountain's Cabernets, with a vineyard tour, natural rock caves and a seated tasting of estate wines. $125, about 90 minutes. By request only; the winery confirms the time.
12:15 · Lunch at the girl & the fig
About 20 minutes away. Lunch at the girl & the fig, a country French restaurant on the Sonoma Plaza. We confirm hours when we book. Prefer a picnic? We can arrange a catered picnic at a winery that allows one; the cost is quoted when you book.
1:40 · Winery Sixteen 600
About 5 minutes away. The Coturri family's organic, vineyard-focused wines, poured in a farmhouse off the Plaza; Phil Coturri also planted and farms Far Mountain's Nunnery vineyard. $75 for the Moon Mountain District Wine Tasting, 90 minutes, or $42 for the Tasting House Reservation. Reserved in advance.
3:20 · Bartholomew Estate Winery
About 10 minutes away. A seated tasting on an oak knoll in a 375-acre park on the east side of Sonoma. $45 to $55 for the Wine Tasting Flight, 1 hour 15 minutes. Open daily 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; reservations recommended.
4:40 · Back to your hotel
