Far Niente was founded in California in 1885 as an exquisite oasis in western Oakville. Shuttered during prohibition, the magic never truly disappeared, and then-owner Gil Nickel worked hard to restore the winery and neighboring vineyards. He even kept the original name Far Niente -- an Italian phrase that translates to without a care. Today, Far Niente is recognized as a standard benchmark producer of top tier wines in Napa Valley.
Sponsored by the Napa Valley Vintners and founded in 1981 by a small group of winery owners, including Robert and Margrit Mondavi, Auction Napa Valley has become the world’s most celebrated charity wine event. Auction Napa Valley combines Napa Valley wine, the region`s iconic scenery, vintner hospitality, creative culinary expressions and the chance for bidders to acquire rare collections of Napa Valley wine and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
