Far Niente
Far Niente
Far Niente is a historic Oakville (Napa Valley) estate restored for modern winemaking by Gil Nickel in the late 1970s; the estate emphasizes elegant, Burgundian-inspired Chardonnay and classic Napa Cabernet. The Far Niente site recounts the property’s 19th-century origins and its revival and development into a single-estate operation with hillside caves and tradition-minded cellar practices. The estate is part of a small group of wineries operating under the House of Far Niente umbrella (including Nickel & Nickel) that focus on single-vineyard or estate expressions. Far Niente’s public materials highlight historic restoration, estate caves, and a long-standing reputation for polished, ageworthy wines.
