A magical visit to Napa Valley in 2006 inspired the then-IndyCar Series racing driver Danica Patrick to establish her own fine wine estate on the flanks of Howell Mountain in what is now the Crystal Springs of Napa Valley AVA. Today, her Somnium brand crafts a portfolio of exclusive wines from that estate and select Napa Valley vineyards, while her French label Danica Rosé offers an elegant taste of the Provence region.
Currently a television sports analyst, commentator, author and podcaster, Danica first garnered international acclaim by finishing fourth in her very first Indianapolis 500, going on to achieve another first as a female racer with her victory in the IndyCar Series Indy Japan 300 race. Admired by millions as a trailblazer and especially as a role model for young people, women and men alike, aiming to rise to challenges and pursue their own passions.
As an IndyCar then NASCAR driver, Patrick broke barriers and set records as a fierce competitor. As Proprietor of Somnium, Danica is now winning accolades in the wine world, including a recent 96 Points/Double Gold at the 2025 Experience Rosé Competition for her 2024 Danica Rosé Côtes de Provence.
