[NSW] The Robert Mondavi Story : Six Decades of Defining Napa

Join Sommeliers Australia for a rare opportunity to explore the legacy, philosophy, and wines of Robert Mondavi Winery alongside Director of Winemaking Kurtis Ogasawara.

Hosted by Alison O’Brien (Bennelong Sydney), this special masterclass marks Kurtis’ first visit to Australia and coincides with the 60th anniversary of Robert Mondavi Winery. Over an intimate and engaging tasting, guests will gain rare insight into one of Napa Valley’s most influential estates and the vision that helped shape modern American wine.

Founded in 1966, Robert Mondavi Winery played a defining role in elevating Napa Valley onto the world stage by championing innovation, regional identity, and uncompromising quality. Today, that vision continues through Kurtis Ogasawara, whose thoughtful and site-driven approach to winemaking is guiding the next chapter of this iconic producer.

Throughout the tasting, Kurtis will lead guests through a curated selection of wines, sharing insight into Napa Valley terroir, the evolution of the winery’s style, and the enduring significance of To Kalon Vineyard—one of the world’s most revered vineyard sites.

More than a tasting, this masterclass is a rare opportunity to engage directly with one of Napa Valley’s leading winemakers during his brief visit to Australia, while reflecting on the enduring legacy and global influence of Robert Mondavi Winery.
