“Beringer Winery” of Napa
The Oldest Continuously Operating Winery in the Napa
Valley
Jacob Beringer left his home in Mainz, Germany in 1868 to start a new
life in the United States after his brother’s letters praising the grand
opportunities to be found in
the vast New World.
Hearing that the warm sunny climate of California was ideal for growing wine
grapes - in 1870 he traveled by train to San Francisco and then on to Napa
Valley. The volcanic soil was ideal for growing the varietal grapes of
Europe’s Winemaking regions, so in 1875 he bought land with his brother
Frederick and in 1876, they founded ‘Beringer Winery’. The tedious task of
hand-chiseling the rock tunnels was done by the Chinese workers returning to
the San Francisco area following the completion of the Trans Continental
Railroad. The tunnels took years to complete but maintain a temperature of
58 deg. constantly. Beringer maintains 17 producing wineries in the Napa
Valley !
