The winemaking legacy at Beaulieu Vineyard remains unbroken for more than a century. Our story as one of the longest continually operating wineries in Napa Valley is written by the remarkable place and the extraordinary people who shaped winemaking in America.
“I thought you should have this.” That’s what a man said one day as he walked into our tasting room, handed the wine steward a bottle of BV vintage 1919, and walked out.
What began as a difficult decade with frost, early phylloxera outbreaks, and the passing of our beloved co-founder, Fernande de Latour, soon became a new era of prominence on the global wine stage for BV, as the de Latour’s daughter, Hélène de Pins, takes the reins, up-and-coming winemaker Mike Grgich joins the team, and BV’s story of perseverance during Prohibition inspires a major motion picture. Look for more stories, fun facts, and insights from our past, as we celebrate our 125th anniversary all year long!
