PEJU Napa Valley is family owned and located on the east side of Highway 29 about 1/2 way between the small communities of Oakville and Rutherford in the middle of the busy “wine strip”. The winery was founded in 1983 by Tony & Herta Peju; both have an international upbringing – Tony was raised in France, Herta was born in Austria and raised in Venezuela. They met in Los Angeles where both were living at the time. Tony became involved in the nursery business in Los Angeles along with residential real estate. Eventually he decided to move the family to the Napa Valley after purchasing 30-acres – at the time, site of an old house but no winery. Very much a family run business, Tony and Herta continue to be involved in the operations in advisory roles along with their two daughters Lisa and Ariana who oversee the day to day management of the operations.
