Want to go swimming at Francis Ford Coppola’s wine-country pool? $35 gets you a day pass

Soon you’ll be able to spend the day at Francis Ford Coppola’s pool for a mere $35, plunging into the waters and soaking in the beauty of California’s wine country.

OK, the pool’s not at his house exactly; it’s at the Francis Ford Coppola Winery in Geyserville. The filmmaker best known for the “Godfather� movies lives in Napa County.

Still, mere mortals can spend a day chilling at the pool, a massive 3,600-square-foot area with 28 cabanas (the operators call them “European-style cabines�). It opens Fridays through Sundays starting April 1, and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily May 30 to Sept. 29.

While at the pool, you can also play bocce on one of the winery’s courts or grab a snack at the outdoor pool cafe. The winery itself is a kind of theme park for adults. It has a tasting room, of course, with more than 40 types of wines, a film gallery and two restaurants.

And there’s film memorabilia on the grounds too, including the big neon martini glass from the 1981 film “One From the Heart� (which Coppola directed).

But back to the pool.

Passes start at $35 for adults and $15 for children 3 to 14 years old. Holiday weekends are $40 and $20, respectively. You get a towel, access to showers and locker rooms and space to spread out on the lawn or in chairs on the pool deck.

For a splurge, you can rent a Cabine Package for $170 to $195 for the day. It comes with a pass for four people, chaise lounge chairs reserved on the deck, private shower, and all kinds of Coppola-related goodies such as playing cards and Zoetrope magazine.
