Darioush Winery, California
Joined by Chef Paula DaSilva
Born and raised in Iran, Darioush Khaledi’s fascination with wine was instilled
at an early age by his father’s winemaking efforts and the cultural history of
winemaking in Shiraz. He became a lifelong collector, seeking out old world wines
infused with tradition and energized by modern technique. Aspiring to the ideals
of the American Dream, he immigrated to America. He was an entrepreneur
determined to realize his dream, yet always eager to share his journey, his love of
wine borne from a rich heritage. In 1997, Darioush and his wife Shahpar founded
Darioush and began to realize a lifelong aspiration to share the art, architecture,
wine craftsmanship and culture that inspired their journey. Darioush, noted for its
Bordeaux-style estate wines, implements old world labor-intensive, micro-vineyard
management and new world state-of-the-art technology to craft fine wines from
its estates located in the appellations of Napa Valley, Mt. Veeder and Oak Knoll.
