Lewelling Vineyards

The Lewelling family's Napa Valley roots trace to 1864, when horticulturist John Lewelling, later declared the "Father of California Horticulture," planted vines and orchards in western St. Helena and helped found the St. Helena Viticultural Club alongside Charles Krug. When phylloxera destroyed his vineyards in the 1870s, the family converted the land to walnuts and fruit trees, running a dehydrator on the property into the 1960s.

It wasn't until the 1970s that John's descendants Doug and Dave Wight replanted the ranch to Cabernet Sauvignon, with Dave, a UC Davis viticulture graduate who had worked at Inglenook, founding the modern Lewelling label with its first commercial release in 1992. Today, seventh-generation family member Haley Wight helps steward the roughly 200-acre ranch, which still includes grazing cattle and 85 acres of vines.
