About the project

A comprehensive re-design focuses the Robert Mondavi Winery around its essential elements: a spirit of conviviality, winemaking, and the landscape. Incisively removing decades of ad-hoc additions and intricately grafting new architecture with the remaining armature, the estate is now an orchestrated sequence of terraces, culinary gardens, and state-of-the-art winemaking studios.
