The Family Coppola is excited to announce a series of cocktail-infused events this summer with award-winning Great Women Spirits at the Francis Ford Coppola Winery and Café Zoetrope.  Small-batch, house-crafted, and classically styled, Great Women Spirits is a collection of vodka, gin, and brandy as unique and remarkable as the women they honor. Taking place at the Sonoma County winery located in Geyserville, CA, special offerings will include a weekly pop-up cocktail bar on Fridays and spirits tasting experiences every other Wednesday. In addition, Café Zoetrope in San Francisco, CA will be offering intimate spirits tasting seminars throughout the summer.

“Summer at the Coppola Winery is always a special time and this year we are delighted to introduce our guests to the award-winning new line of Great Women Spirits,” says Wendy Putman, CEO of Great Women Spirits. “This collection is ideal for refreshing summertime cocktails and now visitors to both our winery and well-known Café Zoetrope can discover the art and inspiration of Great Women Spirits through unique tasting experiences.”

In addition to wine, now locals and vacationers alike can come to taste the spirits and learn all about the newest Coppola offering at Francis Coppola Winery before heading over to the Pool Café to enjoy a cocktail and bite as they listen to live music in the Pavilion during Wednesday Night Beats & Bottles.

About The Family Coppola

The Family Coppola encompasses all of the things Francis loves most—cinema, wine, food, resorts and adventure—and embraces quality, authenticity and pleasure as a backbone to each of these vibrant business endeavors. Anchored in Sonoma County, Francis Ford Coppola Winery, known for its superior level of quality and integrity, is, as Francis puts it, “a wine wonderland, a park of pleasure where people of all ages can enjoy all the best things in life: food, wine, music, dancing, games, swimming, and performances of all types. A place to celebrate the love of life.” Coppola’s second foray into Sonoma County came in 2015 with the launch of Virginia Dare Winery, American wines since 1835, ushering in a new era of elevated quality and vineyard-specific wines. The Family Coppola are lovers not only of wine but spirits as well. Great Women Spirits—small-batch, house-crafted, classically styled spirits—are a collection of spirits as unique and remarkable as the women they honor.
