In 1995, two seasoned wine veterans shared a vision for a distinctive Napa Valley winery that would produce wines in the artisan fashion of the Old World Masters. George Vare and Mike Moone were major influencers in the industry when they decided to launch Luna Vineyards. Together, they selected a prime piece of property at the southernmost end of the historic Silverado Trail and set about to transform it into a landmark winery. Their first task was to replant the estate vineyard on the 40-acre property with Pinot Grigio.

Today, President Mary Ann Tsai heads a dedicated team that makes Napa Valley wines of intricate character and exquisite taste. Winemaker Mike Drash brings a passion for quality to Luna Vineyards, leading the winemaking staff in their continued pursuit of creating wines that reflect the distinctiveness of the local terroir. They are quickly becoming known for producing handcrafted varietals that are the best of what each grape can become.

Luna Vineyards has long been known for its exceptional Pinot Grigio and Sangiovese, which have consistently received high ratings from top wine critics like Robert Parker and Stephen Tanzer. However, with their most recent releases, they are now receiving praise for producing some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in Napa Valley.
