Careers

Darioush was founded with the mission of graciously sharing uncommon perspectives of the world in an extraordinary way. Our purpose is two-fold: to produce world-class, distinctive wines from our southern Napa Valley vineyards and craft engaging hospitality experiences that redefine modern luxury.

A culture of people

The Darioush experience is rooted in a strong culture of people. Human relationships are the foundation of the winery and are at the heart of all we do and believe. Proprietor Darioush and Shahpar Khaledi’s philosophy is the simple truth that every member of the winery is a part of the family, and each guest or partner is no more important than the next. Though simple on the surface, this belief has deep implications for the experience of Darioush, and in many ways is the most important and brand defining trait.

An environment of warmth

Darioush and Shahpar’s heritage is infused throughout the entire experience, creating an environment of intense warmth. We believe that true luxury is about enjoying uncommon experiences that are both spiritual and material. We take pride in introducing guests to history, culture, and flavors that they may have never encountered before. This dedication to higher standards which are at once grand in scale and also grounded and genuine fosters an atmosphere that turns guests into loyalists.
