History[edit | edit source]
Beringer Vineyards was founded by the German immigrant brothers, Jacob and Frederick Beringer, who saw the potential of the Napa Valley for producing fine wines. They purchased land in St. Helena and began planting vineyards, focusing on Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and other varietals.
The Beringer brothers constructed a series of tunnels and caves in the hillside to store their wines, which provided the ideal conditions for aging. These caves are still in use today and are a popular attraction for visitors.
