Francis and Eleanor Coppola purchased the property in 1975, and then spent twenty years restoring it to its original dimensions by acquiring the famed Inglenook Chateau and its adjacent vineyards. Today, Rubicon Estate offers a truly unique VIP guest experience and a level of elegance and personal attention rarely available at other wineries. Rubicon, the flagship wine of Rubicon Estate, reflects the unique terroir of this world-renowned property. Using only 100% organically-farmed grapes sourced directly from Estate vineyards, Rubicon has become a role model for Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon. Rubicon is blended primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, which was first planted on the Estate between 1882 and 1885 by Inglenook founder Captain Gustave Niebaum. Recently, laboratory analysis verified that the vineyard clone is indeed the same genetic material as the vines Niebaum brought back from France in the 1880s. Because the Niebaum clone - Clone #29 technically speaking - has been continuously planted here, it is one of California's most historic and important clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, and totally unique to Rubicon Estate.

Vineyards were established in 1855, but the land and building had fallen into disuse. Phylloxera in the late 19th Century and Prohibition in the 20th Century did away with the vineyards, and the 1886 stone winery was used for making moonshine, growing mushrooms, storing grain and hay, and milling. After Rene di Rosa purchased the acreage, the stone winery was converted into a home and the land turned from dairy cattle to grapes once again. In 1963, Winery Lake Vineyards was established. Vines eventually covered some 250 acres and through the years the quality fruit was sought by over 50 wineries. Seagram purchased the famed Winery Lake Vineyard in 1986. Napa Valley Opera House - The Napa Valley Opera House was built in 1879 as one of the first "respectable" venues west of the Mississippi River. For the latter half of the 19th century, the Napa Valley Opera House was the cultural center for the region, until the decline of vaudeville and other pressures forced it to go dark in 1914.The house was nearly destroyed until a few Napa Valley Opera House devotees spared it from the wrecking ball in the early 1970s.For the last 15 years, the NVOH has been slowly restoring itself for a new future through a series of fundraising challenges, construction activities and visionary plans. The house came back to life in June 2002 with the opening of the Cafe Theatre; its historic main hall is expected to reopen in late summer, 2003, in all of its original splendor.
