New Commemorative Design for Charles Krug Winery’s 150th

The Charles Krug Winery is looking forward to celebrating its 150th Anniversary, which will occur in 2011. The winery has been in the  Mondavi family for three generation.  Today Peter Mondavi Sr. and his sons Marc and Peter, Jr own the Charles Krug Winery.

In anticipation of this 150th important event, the Mondavis chose Michael Schwab, a graphic artist, to create a commemorative image for the Charles Krug Winery.

Michael’s sources of inspiration were the original buildings on the winery site. These two buildings have been restored and are registered as National and California Historic landmarks. The final building to use for the design was the Carriage House.

The commemorative design will be used on the 150th anniversary for creating posters, merchandise and collectibles. The design features the tall Carriage House with a red roof. Six cypress trees along the front of the design enhance the color scheme. Information included on the design is “Napa Valley’s First Winery” and the year the winery was started at 1861.

Travelers may wish to plan a visit to the Charles Krug Winery during 2011 to help celebrate the winery’s 150th Anniversary.

Cheers! Kathy
