Charles Krug Winery is Napa Valley's first commercial winery, founded in 1861 by Prussian immigrant Charles Krug who is widely credited with introducing modern winemaking techniques to California. Today operated by the Peter Mondavi family — who purchased the historic estate in 1943 — Charles Krug produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Merlot from prime Napa Valley vineyards. Their Family Reserve Generations Cabernet is a collectible that bridges the winery's historic legacy with contemporary excellence.
