John Duhig’s great, great-grandfather was an avid farmer, known for his Zinfandel grapes, but also earned statewide recognition by the Department of Agriculture and his high-quality “cots” (apricots). The family raised sheep, cattle, and table grapes, as well as tended a large year-round vegetable garden.
Starting with a plot of land, a tremendous amount of hard work, a pinch of luck, and a desire to honor our legacy of land stewardship for our children to carry on, it is with immense delight that the family has been able to continue the families farming history in Napa Valley, started by James Duhig.
