Darioush Winery Information
Napa is filled with must visit wineries, that said Darioush is worthy of a special mention. This is one of the most impressive estates on the Silverado Trail, not only for its brag-worthy wine but for its awe-inspiring Persian architecture and decor. World-class hospitality is a given.
Darioush and Shahpar Khaledi founded the estate in 1997. The Iranian couple fell in love with wine and decided to grow grapes and make their own wine in the Valley after establishing a successful retail business.
Darioush Winery comprises 120 acres of vines in the coldest areas in Oak Knoll and Mount Veeder, where Cabernet feels right at home. With the help of an experienced team, the power couple produces Bordeaux-style blends worthy of any wine list and cellar.
