Charles Krug

Founded in 1861, Charles Krug is Napa Valley’s Oldest Winery Estate. Since 1943, the Peter Mondavi Sr. family has continued Charles Krug’s legacy. Five generations later, the family remains committed to the stewardship and future of this iconic place.

In 1861, Charles Krug, the visionary father of Napa Valley winemaking, established the winery that started it all. In 1943, Cesare and Rosa Mondavi purchased this iconic estate and continued to build on its reputation for innovation and uncompromising quality. Their son, Peter Mondavi Sr., carried on this tradition remaining active in the winery until his passing in 2016 at the age of 101.

Today his two sons–Peter Jr. and Marc–steward the family business as co-proprietors intent on building a lasting legacy for their children and those generations still to come. 2023 marked the 80th Anniversary of four generations of Mondavi family ownership of Charles Krug.
