Podcast 791 – Tom Farella, Proprietor, Farella Vineyard, Coombsville AVA, Napa Valley

April 13, 2026by Ray FisterNo Comments

The Coombsville AVA is Napa Valley’s 16th sub-appelation and that designation originated with a petition to the federal government, started by Tom Farella. Tom’s wine journey started when he was very young, finding an appreciation of fine French wines. And the rest is history. I visited Tom at his beautiful Coombsville property by the foot of the Vaca mountains to look deeper into this rich wine growing region. There’s nothing like hanging out with a cool winemaker.

You can also hear Tom on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Shrinkle”
