Rombauer Vineyards has been crafting distinctive wines since 1980, when Koerner and Joan Rombauer established their winery in Napa Valley. With roots tracing back to Germany’s Rheingau wine region and a family legacy connected to The Joy of Cooking, the Rombauers built a name synonymous with expressive, fruit-driven wines. Their first vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay set the foundation for a portfolio that has expanded over the decades, including Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. While growing into one of California’s most recognized wineries, Rombauer remains family-owned, now spanning three generations.
With estate vineyards across Napa Valley, Sonoma County, the Sierra Foothills, and the Santa Lucia Highlands, Rombauer prioritizes sustainable farming and a deep respect for terroir. The winery’s approach blends tradition with innovation, from meticulous vineyard management to modern winemaking techniques that enhance purity and balance. While its wines have shaped industry trends, Rombauer maintains a philosophy rooted in generosity and hospitality, sharing its passion for winemaking with each bottle poured.
