ABOUT THE POOLS
Francis Coppola wanted to create a place for families to come and enjoy all the best things in life together, and when designing the winery here in Alexander Valley, he remembered a scene he had watched many times at his Napa Valley winery. For years, children have played around the fountain at Rubicon Estate, pleading with their parents to allow them to jump in. Francis always sympathized with the children, so he thought, Gee, the kids will want to go swimming, so let's have swimming pools.

Situated in the center of the park area at the winery, two swimming pools totaling 3,600 square feet are connected by a 'swim-through' where small jets create a water bridge to swim under. Surrounded by chaise lounge chairs, the swimming pools will be a welcome addition for children and adults on warm days in Alexander Valley.

Just steps from the pool and sunbathing terrace, twenty-eight European-style personal changing rooms called cabines are available to rent for the day. The cabines (pronounced “ka–beens”) offer a comfortable and secure space for families to change clothes and store personal items when it’s time to take a dip in the pool.

Cabines are equipped with a private shower and rental includes pool use and towels. During the swimming season cabines are available for daily rental, and can be reserved ahead of time to ensure access to the pools on busy days. Additionally, there are a variety of nautical "family" flags for sale which you can hoist above your cabine during visits to the winery.
