A Cultural Inheritance
Our story began centuries ago in the Zagros Mountains, where Persian communities brought winecraft to life as early as 5000 BCE. Hailing from the foothills of those mountains, our founder, Darioush Khaledi, grew up immersed in the ancestral winemaking culture of Shiraz, the fabled city of gardens and poetry. The Darioush legacy stems from this foundational intersection of viticulture, hospitality, cuisine, and art.
Inspired by his heritage and fueled by his entrepreneurial spirit, Darioush set out for California, where he and his wife Shahpar realized their dream of opening a boutique winery. The Khaledis ventured into the unexplored territory of the southern Napa Valley, selecting sites that span three distinct AVAs—high atop Mount Veeder, nestled in a pocket of Oak Knoll, and down in the maritime-influenced floor of the valley. In the years since, Darioush’s continued investment has empowered the craftsmanship of intriguing wines that delight guests, known and new—a commitment that still guides us today.
