One of the oldest continually operating wineries in Napa Valley, Beaulieu Vineyard has been setting the standard for rich, classic Napa Valley wines for over a century. Founded in 1900 by Georges de Latour, a French visionary who saw the similarities between Bordeaux and Rutherford, wanted to make world class wines to rival France. In 1938, Georges de Latour travelled to France’s Pasteur Institute to recruit a winemaker and viticulturist to bring his expertise to Rutherford in Napa Valley. Andre Tchelistcheff, a Russian emigrant joined Beaulieu Vineyard. His experience, insights and leadership revolutionized not only Beaulieu Vineyard but the entire Napa Valley wine industry. His pursuit of higher wine quality and continuous innovation earned him the industry’s most famous title ‘The Maestro’. To this day Andre is widely considered the father of the California wine industry, influencing many changes. The winemaking intention at Beaulieu Vineyard has always been focused on crafting world class wines of distinction. Today, Beaulieu Vineyard farms over 1,100 acres of Napa Valley estate vineyards, some of the most coveted land in the valley. Current winemaker Trevor Durling, only the 5th in BV’s history, carries on the tradition today of continually innovating for quality, with Beaulieu standing proud as a Napa icon.Read less
