Charles Krug Winery

Charles Krug Winery is Napa Valley's oldest winery, established in 1861 by Charles Krug, a visionary father of Napa Valley winemaking. The Mondavi Family purchased the estate in 1943 and has been perfecting its legacy for over 75 years through four generations. The winery is known for its Bordeaux-style red blends, particularly Generations, which pays homage to the family's winemaking heritage. Winemaker Stacy Clark crafts elegant expressions of classic Napa terroir using pristine fruit from family estates throughout the valley. Charles Krug offers a range of wines, including Limited Release and Family Reserve tiers, with small-lot, single vineyard wines showcasing Clark's intimate knowledge of the family estates. The winery is home to California's first tasting room, opened in 1882, and has evolved into a world-class hospitality center renowned for its exceptional wines, stunning design, and rich history. Visitors can experience the estate through public tastings, events like the Napa Valley Film Festival and Tastings on the Lawn, and concerts. The winery also offers membership programs that provide preferred pricing, curated shipments of exclusive limited release wines, and VIP treatment at the estate. With a storied heritage and commitment to family traditions, Charles Krug Winery is a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts in Napa Valley.
