The Tedeschi family has been in the Napa Valley for several generations. Eugene Tedeschi planted the first grapes on their Calistoga property in the 1960s. Today, Emil Tedeschi produces hand-crafted wines in the tradition of his family's winemaking heritage.
In 1919 the first generation of the Tedeschi family emigrated from Italy to Providence, Rhode Island. Months after, they moved to California where they started their first company, assisting with the lettering and pin striping for the Wells Fargo stagecoaches. Later that same year, the family moved to Calistoga, a small town in the northern Napa Valley.
