First-time visitors to Napa are frequently surprised to see the ornate, Persian-inspired façade of Darioush winery as they drive along Silverado Trail. Founded in 1997 by Iranian exile Darioush Khaledi and his wife Shahpar, the winery has gained a reputation for gracious, upscale hospitality along with some of the best wines in the Napa Valley. Khaledi’s father was a home winemaker, and Darioush grew up with a passion for wine. After emigrating to the U.S. in 1976, he built a chain of successful grocery stores in California before indulging his dream at the urging of the late Robert Mondavi.
