The tour consisted of the vineyards, the estate and the caves where the wine is stored. In the caves they do a wine tasting describing the differences. Very impressive that Francis Ford Coppola has restored the property to its original size by buying back parcels as they became available. Wonderful history lesson about the Napa Valley.

My friend was celebrating his 50th birthday and he selected a beautiful venue for us to celebrate with him and 120 of his family and friends. The castle, architecture, grounds were beautiful. The staff/service and food catered at the event was great, the Rubicon wine was excellent, the Rubicon Estate Cask wine needs several years to age. We got a... More

The place is a lovely castle, very well preserved. The staff is kind and funny. Upon arrival you'll be greeted by a welcome sparkling wine, Sophia (delicious) as you settle into this homely ambience, waiting for the tour. The visit is complete, with food and wine pairing. We could try a perfect combination of flavors in wine that can highlight,... More

This is my favorite winery of all in Napa Valley. The service at the bar is excellent! You must try what they call the "full monty" Rubicon Estate wine. You will never love another cab the way you love this one. More

Coppola has cleverly created a little slice of France but with American service. What a great combination! More

What an amazing place to visit. If you're a fan of wine or of film or of impressive houses it is a must see. The movie memorabilia are fantastic, the wine is fantastic and the staff are brilliant. We chatted with one for over 30 minutes before buying some wine. This would be the first place I'd send someone to... More

In planning our visit to Inglenook (formerly Rubicon) we signed up for a tour named the Elevage Experience. Wow! What an experience it was! As we arrived we were greeted by our host, a very knowledgeable and charming gentleman, Gregory. We began in the tasting room with a pour and headed outside to view the entire estate from a hill...

I love this place. This was our last stop on our wine tour and my palate was tired so I did not taste. I use the time to take a self guided tour of the winery. I loved learning the history of both the wine, the property and the movies. I finished my tour with espresso in the bar. The... More

We went to this winery the first time a few years ago as our second stop on a 4 stop tour and we never left. We stayed until closing. The winery is beautiful, the staff is friendly and knowledgable and the wine is wonderful. We bought some bread, cheese and wine and sat outside for hours. We have been back... More
