Charles Krug

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 C. Mondavi & Family business as co-proprietors with expanded brand offerings including: CK Mondavi, French Blue, Flat Top Hills, and West + Wilder.
