About Peter Franus Wine Company
Peter Franus Wine Company is a Napa Valley wine producer, established in 1993. A 'virtual winery' with no estate of its own, built on four decades of Mount Veeder's century-old Brandlin Vineyard fruit. Peter Franus started as a viticulturist on Mount Veeder and spent a decade as head winemaker at Mt. Veeder Winery before launching his own label in 1987.
The winery operates as a négociant-style 'virtual winery,' producing its wines at the Laird Family Estate facility north of Napa rather than an owned property. Franus's best-known bottlings, a Cabernet Sauvignon and an award-winning Zinfandel, come from the century-old Brandlin Vineyard on Mount Veeder, planted in the 1920s.
We have not found a published schedule for routine public tasting at Peter Franus Wine Company. The wines are sold direct or through the trade, and any visit would be by arrangement, so contact the producer before planning one.
