Nothing but smiles during our 2024 Employee Harvest! The fruit from our Taurus Merlot block is looking beautiful. Our Merlot Taurus block in Rutherford is fondly referred to as our "Employee Block." This special block is dedicated to employee education, where Winemaker Sara Fowler leads hands-on lessons throughout the season. From pruning and suckering to harvest, employees gain valuable first-hand experience in vineyard management, deepening their understanding of what it takes to craft exceptional wine. #PEJUwinery #Harvest2024 #napavalleywine #merlot #wineindustry #winelover #bestplacestowork #winemaking #vineyard #napavalley #rutherford

About us
When Tony and Herta “H.B.” Peju relocated to Rutherford from Los Angeles 40 years ago, they brought with them a vision of building a winery, an unwavering work ethic, and two young daughters who soaked in the couple’s entrepreneurial spirit. Established in 1983, Peju Winery is dedicated to crafting exceptional wines from organic and sustainably farmed estate vineyards in the Napa Valley. Still family owned and operated, Peju Winery has transformed over the past 40 years from a simple grape growing venture into two landmark wineries celebrated for elegant, complex, and balanced wines. The Rutherford Estate tasting room resides in a 50 foot tower built in 2003 that was envisioned by Tony Peju even before he purchased the estate property. More than the beautiful setting, year after year head winemaker Sara Fowler delivers award-winning wines. In addition to constantly evolving winemaking practices, Peju has continued to expand their green initiatives, which include an array of 720 solar panels at the Rutherford Estate, which supply ~35% of the winery’s energy. PEJU currently sustainably farms 275 planted acres of estate vineyards in Rutherford, Oak Knoll, Calistoga, Pope Valley and Carneros.

🌎 Happy #EarthDay from PEJU! For over 40 years, we've been proud stewards of the earth, intertwining our industry with Mother Nature's rhythms. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond simply a list of practices— it's a deeply rooted approach to winemaking, farming, and culinary arts. From nurturing our certified organic Rutherford vineyard to welcoming barn owls for natural pest control, each initiative helps us maintain a balanced ecosystem. We encourage beneficial bugs and employ sheep to graze and naturally mow our vineyards in the spring. Our solar panels power operations sustainably, and we offer EV charging stations for both guests and employees, making every aspect of our work as eco-friendly as possible. Today, as we reflect on our journey, we invite you to join us in raising a glass to the planet we call home. Cheers to a greener, more beautiful future for generations to come! 🍷🌿

Today, we're raising a glass to a cherished team member! 🎉 Gi is celebrating 28 amazing years with PEJU Winery, and we couldn't be more grateful. He began his journey working on our Persephone Vineyard, planting vines and building fences, then transitioned to the cellar, where he's now our Cellar Supervisor. Dare we say Gi speaks barrel? Absolutely! With his expert touch, he's worked with over 20,000 PEJU barrels (by a rough estimate!)—a true labor of love. Our winemaker Sara Fowler calls him her right-hand man, and we couldn't do it without him. Thank you for all you do, Gi! Cheers! 🥂 #PEJUwinery #napavalley #winemaking #cellar #rutherford #napavalleywine #winelover #itsfromnapa #winery #visitnapavalley #winecountry
