Situated in the heart of Napa Valley, PEJU Winery was founded in 1983 by industry trailblazers Tony and Herta “HB” PEJU, who broke the mold and designed the Wine Country experience that guests know and love today. A family-owned and operated estate comprising six vineyard estates totaling 516 acres, PEJU is now helmed by second-generation owners Lisa and Ariana PEJU alongside longtime winemaker Sara Fowler. The Rutherford estate is an ode to beauty, in wine and art alike, anchored by a whimsical 50-foot tower, immaculate gardens, a curated sculpture collection, and a stunning stained-glass window from 1906. Known for its warm hospitality and approachable exploration, PEJU crafts wines for every palette and offers unique tasting and pairing experiences at the estate that highlight each varietal.
