ROBERT MONDAVI WINERY REOPENS ITS HISTORIC OAKVILLE ESTATE FOLLOWING A MULTI-YEAR TRANSFORMATION

About this update from Devon Energy Corporation

Timed to its 60th anniversary, Robert Mondavi Winery officially reopens its doors to visitors on April 20th, introducing new guest experiences now open for reservations alongside a limited-edition commemorative release. OAKVILLE, Calif., April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following a three-year transformation, Robert Mondavi Winery—the historic heart and visionary leader of Napa Valley fine wine—today announces the grand reopening of its iconic Oakville estate. Timed to its 60th anniversary, the reimagined winery introduces a fully modernized destination, including a new hospitality wing, expanded indoor-outdoor tasting experiences now available for reservation, enhanced culinary and visitor spaces, and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities. Marking the most significant transformation of the property since its founding in 1966, the reopening is also commemorated with the debut of a limited-edition 60th anniversary Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Guided by the pioneering spirit upon which Robert Mondavi established the winery, this transformation balances preservation and progress.

Now certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), To Kalon produces fruit of exceptional purity and balance, forming the foundation of the winery's most celebrated wines.
