🇺🇸 USA | Donum Estate: Napa’s Art Gallery Winery 🍇🎨
Napa Valley is one of California’s largest wine regions, home to countless stunning and unique wineries. On my recent trip, I booked tours at four estates — check my other Napa guides in the collection below! Donum Estate stands out as the most artistic — it’s also one of the world’s largest private sculpture collections. Fun fact: The owner is from Hong Kong, so many works are by Chinese artists! The winery specializes in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. 🌿 Atmosphere From the giant grape sculpture at the entrance, you know you’re in for something special. Drive in and you’ll be greeted by Jaume Plensa’s giant head sculpture… Then Yayoi Kusama’s iconic pumpkin at the courtyard! You’ll also spot works by Liu Xiaodong, Yue Minjun, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Indiana, and more 🌟 Donum also releases a Zodiac series wine label every year — I got the Year of the Monkey! 🐵 🍷 Wine Tasting Tours Four tour options (reservations required): 1️⃣ Carneros Experience 💰 $100 | 60 min | 3 sessions daily ✅ Intro to history & winemaking philosophy ✅ Walk among outdoor art while tasting ✅ Final seated tasting in the lounge 2️⃣ Discover Experience 💰 $150 | 90 min | 3 sessions daily ✅ Includes farm visit + light bites from their garden 3️⃣ Explore Experience 💰 $250 | 120 min | 2 sessions daily (Wed–Sun) ✅ Guided vehicle tour through farm and vineyards ✅ Art walk + curated snack pairing 4️⃣ Culinary Experience 💰 $299 | 150 min | twice monthly ✅ Art and garden walk ✅ Wine tasting paired with a 2-course lunch 🍽️ ⚠️ Tips: You’ll be under the sun for 45–60 mins during the art tour… wear sunscreen!! 🧴 They offer umbrellas at the entrance — grab one! ☂️ #NapaValley #WineTasting #ArtLovers #DonumEstate #CaliforniaWineries #TravelUSA #LuxuryTravel #SculptureGarden #WineTour
