Beringer is known for establishing many 'firsts' as leaders in the wine industry. We were one of the first gravity-fed facilities and among the first to operate using hand-dug caves and cellars. We were the first to give public tours in 1934, starting a Napa Valley hospitality tradition. We are the first and only winery to have a red and a white wine named #1 Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator Magazine.

Passion has the wonderful power to turn mere objects into an obsession, to transform everyday tasks into art. At Beringer, we have been living our passion for 145 years
