Story

Check out their Preferred Member Offer

Peju’s Rutherford estate has been home to Ariana and Lisa Peju since they were children. It was their parents who, in 1983, founded the winery. Today, Peju is still a family-owned and -operated winery with daughters Lisa and Ariana at the helm. 

Because of the family’s deep connection to the land and their commitment to sustainable farming practices, Peju’s Rutherford estate is one of only 21 certified organic wineries in Napa Valley. 

The estate’s wine portfolio features several standouts including the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and proprietary blends. Peju is well regarded for its outstanding wines and has been named Top Artisan Winery of the Year by Wine & Spirits, a Top California Cabernet Producer by Wine Spectator, and Best Winery in North America by Discoverer blog. 

Peju’s exquisite wines and warm hospitality ensure a pleasant visit. Drop in for a Classic or Reserve Tasting; an Interactive Culinary Experience crafting a meal with the Peju chef in the estate’s wood-fired brick oven; a Wine and Culinary Exploration, seasonal bites paired with current releases; a Rutherford Dust Tasting, an exploration of Cabernet and the effect Rutherford dust has on the vine by a resident sommelier; or an Art Garden Tour of the property’s statuary and gardens.
