In 1983, with dreams of raising their young family on a farm, Tony and Herta Peju bought thirty acres of vines in the famed Rutherford district of Napa Valley. An industry trailblazer, Tony Peju redefined Napa Valley four decades ago with the family’s garage tasting room—the first of its kind—as he championed the right of grape growers to sell their wine directly to consumers. In founding PEJU Winery, the Peju family broke the mold and created the Wine Country experience that visitors know and love today. With the next generation at the helm, PEJU continues to operate with a hands-on, boutique approach and a "guest first" mentality as the Peju family looks towards another four decades of hospitality.

Once set in our founders Tony & HB Peju’s famous Rutherford garage, the Original Counter Tasting is now hosted in our elegant ‘Uluru Room’ renowned for its stunning granite floors and counters and distinctive ‘umbrella’ chandeliers.
