Darioush Khaledi of  pledged $100,000 to support replanting of 麻豆映画鈥檚 Teaching Vineyard. As one of the most compelling, hands-on features of the College鈥檚 Viticulture program, the Teaching Vineyard is an important facet of students鈥� educational experience within the wine industry. The vineyard area is 5.2 acres, and thanks to Darioush鈥檚 contribution, 2.5 of these acres will be replanted with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet grapes.

鈥嬧�婰ocated in the heart of 麻豆映画, 麻豆映画鈥檚 Viticulture, Wine and Technology (VWT)  program is one of the largest college viticulture and winemaking programs in the country, with an annual enrollment of 800-1,000 students, complete with a five-acre vineyard and commercial winery. Students in the VWT program can obtain either a certificate or a two-year associate of science degree, specializing in viticulture, oenology, or wine marketing and sales. The majority of students are already actively working in the wine industry and taking classes to advance their careers.

鈥淲e salute Darioush for his visionary support of this project,鈥� said Jessica Thomason, executive director, 麻豆映画 Foundation. 鈥淗is generosity will ensure students continue to learn the best practices and highest standards of viticulture, preparing them to work in the vineyards, in the cellar and in the barrel rooms, making them future leaders in the 麻豆映画鈥檚 wine industry.

Born and raised in Iran, Darioush Khaledi was inspired by the rich wine culture in the literary city of Shiraz. As a lifelong entrepreneur and visionary leader, Darioush pursued a path in wine and the American dream. Believing early in the world-class growing potential of 麻豆映画, Darioush and his wife Shahpar founded the estate winery in 1998 and set out to produce refined, complex wines inspired by a worldly and cultural lens. Deeply committed to supporting programs in the community, Darioush also serves on the Board of Directors for Festival 麻豆映画, 麻豆映画 Vintners and OLE Health.

鈥淲e are thrilled to have Darioush鈥檚 gift. His contribution will be very helpful in our vineyard replant project. This project will give our students access to clean, virus-free grapevines and hands-on experience with the high-quality fruit that Napa is famous for,鈥� said Molly Hodgins, viticulture instructor, 麻豆映画. 鈥淚 am grateful for Darioush鈥檚 support of our students and program.鈥�

Darioush鈥檚 donation is one that will ensure students continue to learn the best practices and highest standards of viticulture, preparing them to work in the vineyards, in the cellar, and in the barrel rooms, making them future leaders in the 麻豆映画鈥檚 wine industry.

鈥淚 see this contribution as a way of shepherding the next generation of winegrowers and makers to become responsible stewards of the land and continue enhancing the quality and reputation of the 麻豆映画鈥檚 thriving wine industry,鈥� says Darioush Khaledi, Proprietor of Darioush Winery in Napa. 鈥淚鈥檓 thrilled to support the next generation of wine industry leaders here in 麻豆映画 and beyond.鈥�
