Francis Ford Coppola has been making movies for more than 30 years, and wines at his Niebaum-Coppola Estate Winery in the Napa Valley for almost 20. In February 1995 he purchased the massive stone lnglenook Chateau and its adjacent vineyards. This purchase reunited the original Napa Valley estate founded in 1879 by Gustave Niebaum and preserves his legacy for future generations.

"We want to invite both wine lovers and people who appreciate our creative heritage here in California. The lnglenook Chateau will house a Centennial Museum which will chronicle the history the wine making at the estate, and my own history in film making, in a sense, wine making and film making are two great art forms very important in the development of California. The Centennial Museum is also the story of two immigrant families. Gustave Niebaum, a Finnish immigrant who made his fortune in the Alaska fur trade and then pursued his dream of establishing a great wine estate to rival those of France, and the Coppola family, Italian-Americans, who pursued another American dream in the arts--primarily music and film. As we've researched this exhibit," continued Coppola, "we've discovered some interesting parallels and intersections between the two families--the two immigrant experiences.
