Meet Francis Ford Coppola, the filmmaker who used his Godfather fortune to buy 1,560 acres in Napa Valley and restore the historic Inglenook estate
In 1975, filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola bought 1,560 acres of Napa Valley's historic Inglenook estate, and decades later he restored its wine legacy. Founded in 1879 by Finnish sea captain Gustave Niebaum, the estate now spans 1,700 acres in Rutherford, where the Coppola family raised their children and still produces organically farmed wines.
