Description
Formerly Niebaum-Coppola Estate Winery — and the Inglenook
Estate before that — Rubicon Estate is owned by Oscar-winning
director Francis Ford
Coppola.
The
winery a
19th century Chateau has a beautiful courtyard with fountains,
pools and park benches modeled after Paris' Luxembourg Gardens.
The main building's first floor houses the original Tasting Room,
exhibits, and the history of the Coppola family, the Inglenook estate
and the Niebaum wines.
Prize medals that Ingelnook won in the 1889 Paris
Exhibition are
also on display, along with an Estate Guest Log Book featuring
signatures
of legendary Hollywood actors Jean Harlow and Clark
Gable.
Upstairs, the main building's
second floor has Coppola's Oscars,
film awards and various props and movie memorabilia, including:
Don Corleone's desk from "The Godfather," a surfboard
from "Apocalypse Now," costumes from "Bram
Stoker's Dracula," and the car from "Tucker: A
Man and His Dream."
NOTE: Plans call for the Hollywood Museum to move to a
new location in Sonoma County, where Coppola bought Chateau
Souverain in
Geyserville.
