This Oakville winery thrived from 1885 to 1919, until Prohibition scared its founder away. In 1979, the 250-acre estate was purchased by the Nickel family, which continues to run it today.

Australia’s most renowned wine comes from Penfolds. The estate began when a doctor found wine to be a boon for his patients. Penfolds continues to break the mold, producing extraordinary wines.

Tor Kenward worked for nearly three decades in California winemaking before starting his own TOR Kenward estate, where he today employs star Napa winemaker Jeff Ames to craft highly rated Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
