About The Producer
For nearly half a century, the Venge family has cultivated vitis vinifera in Napa Valley, a journey that began when Knud Venge immigrated from Denmark to the United States in the early 1900s. His son, Per Venge, ventured into the wine and spirits industry, starting Vencom Imports, focusing on fine wines and spirits from Western Europe. In the 1960s, Per's son, Nils Venge, pursued viticulture at UC Davis, laying the foundation for the family's winemaking legacy.
In 1976, the family's viticultural journey blossomed with the acquisition of a 17-acre Oakville District vineyard, planting Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, positioning them as Napa Valley pioneers. Nils' and Dianna Venge's son, Kirk Venge, displayed early winemaking talent. In 2008, he fulfilled his lifelong dream by taking full ownership of Venge Vineyards, continuing the family's Napa Valley heritage with a focus on exceptional vineyard sites worthy of the Venge name.
