RUTHERFORD.   Formerly named the Niebaum-Coppola Estate Winery, this facility regained its original prominence under the ownership of Francis Ford Coppola, the notable director and producer responsible for "The Godfather" trilogy and other award-winning films. The elegant, ivy-walled estate features lovely tasting rooms, a hand-carved staircase, stained glass windows, and classic stone cellars. Guests may take guided tours of the chateau and grounds, including its century-old vineyards. Tastings held each day feature the estate's acclaimed Rubicon, Blancaneaux, and Estate wines. Various tours address estate history, grape-growing, and wine-making; they typically require reservations, and their costs are in addition to the basic guest fee.   (© 10Best)

The Rubicon Estate is a must-visit if you're looking for Napa's roots. The château, built by sea captain turned wine pioneer Gustave Niebaum, has watched over the valley since 1880. The entry fee is steep, but the tour, tasting and mini museum of winemaking are rich. (from Sunset)

I appreciated the gals that conducted the wine tasting. They were knowledgeable and extremely personable. The wines were very good too. All of the old bottles in dust was a nice sight.
