RUTHERFORD, Calif., Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PEJU Winery today announced the sale of its Calmére Estate in Carneros to refocus on the family's original Napa Valley property in Rutherford — where founders Tony and H.B. Peju first established the winery in 1983. The move underscores the family's enduring commitment to its roots, its legacy of hospitality, and the next generation's long-term vision for PEJU's future.
"Rutherford has always been our heart," said Ariana Peju. "As we look ahead, this is about focusing on where we came from, what we love, and what we do best — farming, crafting exceptional estate wines, and creating authentic Napa Valley experiences that reflect who we are as a family."
Sisters Lisa and Ariana Peju, who represent the second generation of leadership, continue to shape the next chapter of PEJU — building upon more than 40 years of family craftsmanship while reimagining how guests experience Napa Valley through a continued lens of approachability, authenticity, and community.
PEJU's renewed focus on Rutherford allows the family to deepen its investment in estate farming, sustainability initiatives, and enhanced hospitality experiences. "Our winemaking philosophy remains unchanged — estate-driven wines that express place and time," said Winemaker Sara Fowler, who has led PEJU's cellar for 19 harvests.
