Napa Valley stands today as America’s most celebrated wine region—home to noble grapes, unparalleled terroir, and wines that rival Europe’s greatest bottlings. It’s a place where once-in-a-lifetime vintages and world-class hospitalit­y converge.

Napa Valley stands today as America’s most celebrated wine region—home to noble grapes, unparalleled terroir, and wines that rival Europe’s greatest bottlings. It’s a place where once-in-a-lifetime vintages and world-class hospitalit­y converge. And none of it would have been possible without Robert Mondavi, and his uncompromising pursuit of excellence that still shapes the wines today.

Today, the winery continues to set the benchmark for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, crafting wines of distinction across three tiers: the lauded To Kalon Reserve wines, the vineyard-driven Estates collection, and the expressive Napa Valley series. Each reflects Mondavi’s founding vision: harmony with food, gentleness on the palate, and a deep sense of place.

Mondavi’s influence also lives on in the people he inspired. Legends like Zelma Long, Paul Hobbs, and David Phinney all honed their craft at Robert Mondavi Winery, drawn by his relentless pursuit of excellence. “It was a disciplined place,” Hobbs recalls, “but with an edgy approach to innovation that Mr. Mondavi fostered.”

He also reshaped the culture of wine in America. He championed varietal labeling. He pioneered dry, oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc, coining it "Fumé Blanc." He introduced wine tourism through concerts, tastings, and culinary events that redefined hospitality. And he proved that a California Cabernet could earn its place on the world stage.

The spirit of To Kalon Vineyard-the home of Robert Mondavi Winery-anchors this legacy. From its iconic soils come wines that continue to define Napa Valley excellence and inspire the world beyond.

His philosophy endures: "Wine to me is passion. It’s family and friends. It’s warmth of heart and generosity ofspirit. Wine is art. It’s culture. It’s the essence of civilization and theart of living.
