A Legacy Isn't Built Overnight — It Takes Time. 80 Years to be Exact.

Welcome to Charles Krug, Napa Valley’s oldest winery, established in 1861, and the home of California’s first wine tasting room. Since its founding by Charles Krug, a pioneer and visionary, this winery has continued to contribute significantly to the world of wine. Our story starts 80 years ago in 1943, when The Mondavi Family purchased the winery and vowed to continue Krug’s legacy of visionary thinking and innovation. To this day, five generations later, the family remains committed to the stewardship of this iconic place, and to those principals.

When you visit our estate winery, you’ll enter our driveway, and follow the olive trees lining the vineyards to our tasting room, located in our historic Redwood Cellar. There, you’ll be offered a variety of curated tasting experiences, all detailed below. If you do not have time for a full experience, and would like to simply enjoy our beautiful space, we offer wines for purchase to enjoy at your leisure.

While outside-food and picnicking are not permitted, we do offer a cheese and charcuterie board as an add-on option.
