I work at Coppola. You don't need a reservation for most lunches and some nights. But, you should make one anyway, just in case tourist traffic is high, especially for dinner. Always make a reservation for Friday thru Sunday. Lunch at the pool cafe is nice and sitting out on the terrace for dinner like Sue Mueller said is also very nice.
Some experiences require reservations, however some do not. Visit us online for our full list of tastings available and to make reservations if necessary. https://www.francisfordcoppolawinery.com/en/visit/tastings-and-experiences/wine-tastings/
It depends on what you want. We have been able to do tastings and even get food without them. It's usually busy so I'd still recommend them.
Yes.always ask for outside too!! Weather permitting, AWESOME!!
Yes reservations are a must. We had a noon reservation on a Sat and it was jammed when we arrived. We loved it. Great atmosphere.
I recommend reservations for Rustics...the restaurant. But I have shown up without them and gotten a table. I buy alot of the hot sauce to take with me. All the food is great at a great price. Kid friendly too yet elegant dining. I really enjoy the New York strip and pizza..
It would be a good idea to make reservations. If you plan on going on the tour or even if you would be in the dining area for lunch or dinner. Reservations are recommended.
