20 Rutherford AVA CONTINUED GRGICH HILLS ESTATE WINERY Grgich Hills Estate was founded in 1977 by Miljenko “Mike” Grgich and Austin Hills of Hills Bros. Coffee. Mike Grgich was one of the men responsible for putting Napa Valley wines on the map as the winemaker behind the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay which won the famous 1976 Paris Tasting. Grgich Hills continues today as a family-owned and operated winery committed to natural wine growing and sustainability with estate-grown and certified biodynamic vineyards. Mike still produces a chardonnay in the style that beat the French but prides himself on his zinfandel, a grape that hails from his home country of Croatia. NAPA VALLEY WINE TRAIN & GRGICH HILLS TASTING EXPERIENCE The lunch main train stops at Grgich Hills daily where guests who book this experience enjoy appetizers and a main course on the train heading north, then disembark for a one-hour tasting with the Grgich team.
