"Mr. Mondavi believed that the path to a gracious lifestyle leads through the appreciation of wine, food, and art, and that the Napa Valley could be the center for that lifestyle, producing wines that belonged in the company of the great wines of the world. We invite you to visit us at the winery, to experience this philosophy first hand."
"Visiting Napa Valley without a stop at Robert Mondavi Winery's mission-style estate in Oakville is to miss out on a significant piece of American wine history. The property is expansive, the staff is deeply knowledgeable and passionate, and the offerings are varied, educational, and delicious. The $65 Estates Collection option lasts an hour and provides a solid look at this storied producer, and the 75-minute, $125 To Kalon Reserve Tasting highlights one of the most iconic Cabs in Napa. More extensive pairing lunches and dinners are available, too." - Food & Wine Editors

"Set just off the St. Helena Highway in Oakville, California, this iconic Napa Valley winery was founded in 1966 by Robert Mondavi and is centered on the historic To Kalon vineyard (first planted in 1868; the name means "the highest beauty"). Celebrated as the symbolic heart of California wine country and ranked 12th in the inaugural World's Best Vineyards list (No. 1 in North America), it helped pioneer the modern winery destination with tours, tastings, restaurants, and art galleries. Visitors pass through a mission-style arch flanked by sculptures (including a Beniamino Bufano bear and a Len Urso copper bust), enjoy views of the To Kalon vines, and can take an Exclusive Cellar Tasting led by a sommelier that moves from massive French oak fermentation tanks into a barrel-filled aging room centered around a St. Francis statue. Tastings highlight a signature fumé blanc aged nine months in French oak with notes of peach and baked pie crust, a 2015 Reserve Pinot Noir paired with Point Reyes Toma, and two standout cabernets—the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve made from estate fruit and a velvety 2014 Stags Leap District Cabernet. Other offerings include a private Four Decades Dinner, an art-walk pairing wine with sculptures by Bufano and Picasso, and an annual summer concert series that benefits local school music programs." - Lyndsey Matthews
"One of only two U.S. wineries to make the top 50, this Napa estate represents California on the list and was ranked 12th." - Lyndsey Matthews
