Our Story
Report
Our history was shaped by dreamers, doers, and craftsmen - all in pursuit of perfection in winemaking. Far Niente was founded in Oakville, California in 1885 by John Benson, a forty-niner of the California gold rush and uncle of the famous American impressionist painter, Winslow Homer. Benson hired architect Hamden McIntyre, and together they worked to create an exquisite oasis in western Oakville.
Chardonnay
Report
In 1979, we had a vision. 40 years later, that vision persists. To create the quintessential example of Chardonnay, to produce a wine of such stature and complexity, that it truly becomes iconic. For 40 years we've achieved that vision. And we proudly invite you to share in our celebration. Classically beautiful, the 2019 vintage opens with aromas of honeysuckle, white peach blossom and citrus zest, along with soft accents of vanilla.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Report
Our mastery of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is 40 years in the making. Our vast experience is woven with a passion to create timeless wines found in cellars around the world. What started as a labor of love more than four decades ago has transformed into a globally appreciated fine wine. Oakville is the heart of exceptional Napa Valley Cabernet, and it happens to be our home.
