RUTHERFORD, California (March 10, 2021) – Francis Ford Coppola, proprietor of Inglenook, is pleased to announce that a major renovation of the historic winery’s Pennino Salon has just been completed. The Pennino Salon, named after Coppola’s maternal grandfather, Francesco Pennino, will be open for indoor wine tastings as conditions allow. In redesigning The Pennino Salon, Coppola worked with his longtime friend and colleague, Dean Tavoularis, to create a stunning setting, reminiscent of a private club in the 1920’s. Tavoularis was the production designer on many of Coppola’s films. The result is a room that matches the extraordinary quality of Inglenook’s wines and beckons guests to immerse themselves in beguiling details. Patrons are surrounded by the Coppola family’s personal mementoes including works of art by Wayne Thiebaud, film director Akira Kurosawa, Robert De Niro, Sr., and Mr. Coppola himself.
