Niebaum-Coppola Winery

The Niebaum-Coppola Winery is located in Rutherford, CA (Napa Valley) on a portion of the historic property first acquired in 1879 by Gustave Niebaum, founder of the Inglenook Winery.

History

In 1975, Francis Ford Coppola and his wife Eleanor, purchased Niebaum’s Victorian home, along with 120 acres (486,000 m²) of surrounding vineyards.

In 1995, Coppola reunited the two original Inglenook parcels by purchasing the grand Inglenook chateau and surrounding vineyards (neighboring vineyards include Heitz’s Martha’s Vineyard and Beaulieu’s Georges de Latour).
