History

Founded in 1977 by English businessman Peter Newton and his Chinese wife Su Hua, Newton was the first newly-developed vineyard on Spring Mountain in California's Napa Valley. The Newtons transformed one square mile of entirely undeveloped rolling hillside into one of Napa Valley's leading estates.[1]

Newton Vineyards is part of Estates & Wines, the wine division of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.
