Inglenook

Napa Valley Wineries That Offer Unusual Tasting Experiences - AFAR

"The journey up Inglenook’s long tree-lined front drive feels like a scene from a movie, which is not surprising given proprietor Francis Ford Coppola’s flair for dramatic scenes. The winery, which produced its first vintage in 1882, is filled with his favorite things, including a collection of vintage movie viewers and the car from the film Tucker. A highlight is the Athenaeum—a library with Gothic vaulted ceilings that’s filled with books, music, art, and games. Get cozy with some estate cabernet sauvignon to the sounds of vintage jazz recordings by Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong, or perhaps a 1964 João Gilberto and Stan Getz album. Don’t miss original paintings by Robert DeNiro Sr. and director Akira Kurosawa." - Maria C. Hunt

8 Incredibly Cool Wine Caves to Tour in Napa Valley

"Just in time for the 2022 harvest, Inglenook unveiled 22,000 feet of state-of-the-art wine caves filled with gleaming stainless steel tanks. Word has it, Inglenook’s proprietor director Francis Ford Coppola lit up like a kid on Christmas morning as he drove the Komatsu excavator that punched through a wall to join the new cave with the old ones dating back to 1872. Get cozy with a Salon Tasting Flight hosted entirely in the cave, and be sure to order a side of the chef’s mushroom pate, which pairs perfectly with older reds." - Maria C. Hunt

"Inglenook is one of two wineries owned by the Coppola family, and it's sort of a must-see for any Napa itinerary worth its snuff. The gorgeous, historic chateau is far and away one of the grandest buildings in the valley, and the wine (winemaker Phillip Bascuales was trained at Château Margaux) is worthy of the estate."
