Tasting flights

We truly enjoy sharing our award-winning Ports with you. And we believe we'll introduce you to a new favorite! While you'll enjoy five delicious Ports, we tailor your experience to what flavor profiles you're enjoying the most as you sip through your tasting with us.

Tappit Hen

Our Tappit-Hen refillable liter program offers you a chance to try new and limited Ports every four to six weeks. We select one barrel of something special we'd like to share, or barrel down a specially blended Port that will be available only in the Tappit-Hen program.  Like a beer growler--only better!  If you travel up and down the Valley or live nearby, this is an incredible way to enjoy many different styles of Port, and at a tremendous value! 

Premium Flights

We want you to look forward to trying something new each visit. We're now offering a Premium flight option, so you can try Ports not normally offered--such as older Vintage and Tawny Ports--for a small tasting fee.  Each week, we have a new premium flight available for you.

Picnic Package

We've paired up with Whole Foods Market to provide you a delicious, fresh picnic when you arrive to Ficklin Vineyards. Select a lunch basket: Your choice of sandwich and salad, with fruit and chocolate to enjoy with your tasting flight.  Requires 48 hours notice to have it for you upon arrival. Enjoy at our picnic table overlooking the vineyard, or spread out a blanket on our front lawn.  

What our guests are saying:

"The weather chased us down from Kings Canyon NP so we decided to do some wine tasting. Ficklin Vineyards is probably the most friendly wine tasting experience that I have had in all of California. Wines are really good and reasonably priced. You don't have to start out liking Port to visit, but you will certainly like it before you leave. Thank you for a nice experience."

"Ficklin Vineyard isn't just good at what they do; they're the very finest port makers in the world. Mere words simply cannot describe the pure pleasure in every bottle. It's a must visit place for all lovers of fine port. They are my "port in life's storms" and " safe harbor to celebrate all joys."

"Stopped to wine taste while visiting friends in Fresno. I wasn't sure I'd like port but I certainly liked these! Delicious! Barrels all around and friendly people working who seemed to know what they were talking about. Great experience all around. I'll be back again!"
