The new Robert Mondavi Winery is intended to re-establish the winery as the soul of Napa Valley fine wine. The project encompasses the brand, its home, and ongoing commitments to Napa Valley, the local community, and global standing. Central to the transformation is iconic architecture in Napa Valley, recognized worldwide for its distinctive arch and tower. The original winery, designed by Cliff May in 1966, became compromised and disconnected after ad hoc expansions. Growth left the complex feeling unorganized, inward looking, industrial, and overly heavy. The redesign focuses on restoring coherence and connection to the surrounding landscape while reinforcing the winery’s identity.
