Francis Ford Coppola Winery

USA - WINE GROWING REGION: Sonoma County - Nappa Valley /

As is generally known, the "godfather", once one of the most feared gangster bosses in the USA, had very little in mind with wine - at least from a business point of view. Now the bridge may be a bit big, but the "godfather" has something to do with this vineyard.  The director Francis Ford Coppola, who became famous worldwide because of the film of the same name, is the eponym and owner of this winery. It may be that the roots of the Coppola family in Italy contributed to this. Apart from the qualities that can be described as remarkable, but which don't always correspond to the European taste buds, there would be a lot of other things to marvel at. Good marketing is part of the business and so this winery is well equipped for larger numbers of visitors. A generous street leads to the winery and thus to a whole series of parking lots. The architecture could well serve as a backdrop for a Walt Disney film, and what the European would rather feel to be kitschy in tendency could elicit a "great" from the US citizen. After all, one of the 57 Tucker cars built, a legendary car brand in the USA, would stand prominently on a turntable for viewing and thus attract the one or other guest for whom wine is not at the top of the list in the interest. Souvenirs without end decorate the showcases. Some are for sale, others are utensils associated with Coppola's films. Furthermore, there would be a wine tasting bar that can be described as generous and on the floor above, one visibly made an effort to situate a rustic and at the same time stylish restaurant.
