Sterling Vineyards was founded in 1964 by Oxford graduate and successful businessman Peter Newton. As one of only 27 bonded wineries in Napa Valley at the time, Newton was an early pioneer of crafting Bordeaux-inspired red wines in California and helped transform the region into the premier winemaking appellation we know today. Sterling Vineyards produced their first varietals in 1969 and bottled Napa’s first vintage-dated Merlot that same year.

The winery itself is an architectural icon in Napa Valley. Modeled after the beautiful white stucco buildings on the Greek island of Mykonos, it was the first winery built with the visitor in mind and is the only winery in the world with an aerial tram.

Today, Sterling Vineyards is one of the most visited wineries in Napa Valley and one of the largest landowners in the region, producing renowned, world-class wines.
