At Venge Vineyards, we believe our vineyards - site, soil, and vine - are the foundation for great wine, and in turn, shape the destiny of the winemaker. By choosing superior vineyards developed with advanced, sustainable farming methods, we accomplish balanced yields and fully ripened fruit. We continually expand the bounds of our viticultrual knowledge and expectations, striving to produce wines of natural grace and intensity that reveal the essence of each growing site and varietal.

The Venge history contains classical California wine business elements of immigration, a diligent work ethic and tradition handed down through the generations. It begins with my Scandinavian Great-Grandfather, Knud Venge, who left Denmark in 1915 for America and en-route met the famous American entrepreneur, E.I. DuPont. DuPont asked Knud to move to South America as a sales representative of DuPont dynamite. Knud accepted and sold the precious explosive to Argentinean railroad and silver mining companies. Knud’s son Per was soon to arrive to the family and born in 1916 in Buenos Aires.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
