Gustave Niebaum's Inglenook Estate . After learning the history of this great winery, Coppola vowed to himself to one day re-unite the individual parts of the estate that had been broken up and sold in 1964. Coppola's passion and dream for the winery spilled onto paper through his writing.
Heritage is everything.
If you have the heritage you can draw on it forever. These are Coppola's words which drove him to restore the grand chateau to its former glory. Two and a half years of intensive work by an army of craftsmen are now complete. The grounds have been beautifully landscaped and the winery is in full swing. One of the most impressive additions is the sweeping staircase that greets you as you enter the chateau.
