Event Details
We are excited to welcome fourth-generation winemaker Robert "Rob" Mondavi, Jr., and Lydia Mondavi for a collaboration weekend of special dinners and wine tasting.
Robert Mondavi, Jr, (Rob) is a fourth-generation winemaker and executive with over 27 years of experience crafting and developing iconic wines. 2014 marked the first vintage of Rob and Lydia Mondavi’s Rutledge & Vine wines, quietly released each year and shared with family, friends and connected wine aficionados. James Suckling consistently ranks the wines 96 plus and placed Rutledge & Vine in the top 100. In December of 2024, Robb Report recognized Rob’s affable personality and passion for wine, naming him a “Rockstar winemaker” and ranked his Rutledge & Vine #36 of the best Cabernet Sauvignons of the 21st century. Along with his winemaking for select clients like American icon John Elway and Japanese musical treasure Yoshiki, Rob also oversees the family’s most precious wines.
Rob, his wife Lydia, and their two boys are based in Napa Valley and cherish their time there and enjoy time at their beach house in Beaufort, South Carolina. Rob is an avid outdoorsman and steward of the land, enjoying inshore fishing and supporting their sons with their falconry pursuits.
