100 Wine Blogs, 100 Days Blog 79 Robert Mondavi Winery, Napa, California


Blog 79 Robert Mondavi Winery, Napa, California

One of the best places to visit when you head into California wine country is the Robery Mondavi Winery. The Signature tour takes you into the vineyard showing you the path of the grape from vineyard, to cellar, to the finished product in the bottle. Enjoy a sit-down cellar tasting with the wine educator who gives you tips on how to taste wine and drink wine at its best.

Stroll the property and enjoy two great tasting rooms as well as the large gift shop with a vast array of wine gadgets and gifts. The Mondavi Winery is one of the most beautiful open-air properties combining art and wine in the Napa area. The art gallery contains sculptures, artifacts and paintings. There are concerts held on their property and they have even had performers from Ella Fitzgerald to Etta James.



Although Robert Mondavi is no longer with us, his family tradition of making good wine and combining it with food and art has been passed down to his children and grandchildren. Be sure to check out Continuum Estate, Tim and Marcia Mondavi and their children, uphold the family name by making one style of red wine, Continuum, with the highest quality of artistic expression.

Bon Vin!
