Charles Krug

<p>Built in 1872, our newly restored Redwood Cellar Tasting Room and Hospitality Center is a warm, inviting space blending heritage with contemporary design. The National Historical Landmark features reclaimed <em>clear heart</em> redwood from the family's original wine tanks, stone and open beam construction, windows on the working Family Reserve cellar, and a large, welcoming bar and lounge. </p>
<p>The very concept of a Tasting Room is part of their continuing legacy. Charles Krug opened the first tasting room in California and Napa Valley's fascinating history is everywhere on the property, from Charles Krug's original cider press, to train tracks that bisect the property recalling an era when Napa Valley fruit was shipped to the East Coast for home winemakers during Prohibition, to their state-of-the-art barrel room for their Family Reserve wines. Behind the cellar lies the Carriage House (circa 1881) built for Charles Krug's wife, Carolina, to house her beloved horses. Today, the space houses a spectacular second story event center and the Great Lawn adjacent to it is the home to their annual Tastings on the Lawn.</p>
