Ken Laird, originally a big city mechanical engineer from New York City, made a bold move that would forever change his life and the wine industry in Napa. After discovering 70 acres of worn land in Calistoga, he reached out to Robert Mondavi, a legend in the wine world. With a tattered phone book, Ken made a phone call to Robert Mondavi, discussing soils, vines, yields, and irrigation.
This conversation marked the beginning of a significant chapter for the Laird family winery. Robert Mondavi himself agreed to support Ken’s venture, recognizing the potential of the land and Ken’s passion. This support was not just financial; it included guidance on proper pruning and viticulture practices, making this land viticulturally significant.
As the Laird family estate grew, so did their reputation for quality and innovation. The Laird winery in Napa is not just a place where wine is made; it’s a showcase of family farming heritage, where every tight row of sticky vines tells a story of dedication and hard work. The Laird family winery has become a staple in listed wineries alongside Robert Mondavi, reflecting the highest harvest price paid for their exceptional grapes.

This commitment to excellence and sustainability is what makes Laird Winery Napa a beloved destination for wine lovers and a testament to Ken’s vision and the partnership that Robert agreed to finance.
