About Robert Mondavi Winery
The winery that pioneered modern Napa Valley winemaking. Founded in 1966 by Robert Mondavi, the iconic mission-style architecture and To Kalon Vineyard produce some of California's most celebrated wines. Note: the Oakville estate is currently closed for renovations until Spring 2026; tastings are hosted at Arch & Tower in downtown Napa.
Why Visit Robert Mondavi Winery
The 2021 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from To Kalon Vineyard was recognized in the World's Best Sommelier Selection 2025, chosen by leading sommeliers from The World's 50 Best Restaurants. While the Oakville estate reopens April 20th, tastings now run at Arch & Tower in downtown Napa, where the $125 To Kalon Reserve Tasting pours wines from the vineyard that shaped California's reputation.

The Setting
The mission-style Oakville estate sits on To Kalon Vineyard, one of California's most celebrated vineyard sites, and is scheduled to reopen April 20th after renovations. Until then, visitors head to Arch & Tower in downtown Napa. The temporary location keeps the focus on the wines themselves—structured Cabernet Sauvignon and the signature Fumé Blanc—while the estate undergoes its transformation.
The Tasting Experience
At Arch & Tower, the Napa Discovery Tour & Tasting ($55) introduces the Mondavi legacy with current releases, while the Estate Experience ($85) offers a seated tasting of reserve wines. The To Kalon Reserve Tasting ($125) focuses on reserve Cabernets from the vineyard itself. Staff guide visitors through the history Robert Mondavi set in motion in 1966 and the wines that continue to carry that vision forward.
