Trefethen
Trefethen wines were conceived in 1968 when Eugene and Catherine Trefethen bought around 600 acres of land in the Napa Valley. The vineyards and winery are nestled in the Southern hills of the Napa Valley in an area know as the Oak Knoll district. The Family began growing grapes and selling them to the best wineries in the Valley. In 1973 Trefethen wines were officially born when the family decided their grapes needed an identity of their own. They built a winery and began to produce small quantities of estate grown wines. Today the Trefethens are considered Napa Valley pioneers and their wines are renowned worldwide. They continue with their commitment to producing world-class wines.
