Having grown up in Shiraz, Iran, Darioush originally set out to California in 1976, when he moved his family to Los Angeles and started a chain of successful grocery stores called K.V. Mart Co with his brother-in-law.
Darioush and his wife Shahpar realized their dream of opening a boutique winery in 1997. The Khaledis ventured into the unexplored territory of the southern Napa Valley, selecting sites that span three distinct AVAs—high atop Mount Veeder, nestled in a pocket of Oak Knoll, and down in the maritime-influenced floor of the valley. They built a beautiful home/winery which locally we know as “The Persian Palace”
