Good wine according to script - Francis Ford Coppola Winery

And not just recently. As early as 1970, he acquired the Inglenook winery in California's Napa Valley. In 2007, he bought the former Château Sovereign, which is now better known under the name Francis Ford Coppola Winery. Here, full-bodied wines are produced that enjoy a high reputation throughout California. Francis Ford can rely on the advice of talented oenologist Corey Beck for his work. Beck has created many excellent wine compositions in his career and was awarded "Winemaker of the Year" in 2012. At the Coppola winery, he is able to demonstrate his creativity as well as his professional knowledge.

Experience wine in a new way

When it comes to attracting customers with purchasing power, California winemakers are inventive. Thus, the construction of the winery is based on a Danish amusement park. Francis Ford wanted to create a kind of wonderland that radiates pure joie de vivre and turns wine into an experience in a new way. The famous director also succeeded in this script. Today his winery is a meeting place for young and old and people like to come here to forget the worries of everyday life. The open-air concerts, billiard tables, carriage rides, swimming pools, sun loungers as well as restaurants also contribute to this. For the fusion of film and wine, one can find numerous movie props decoratively placed throughout the winery.
