Beringer Brothers Winery

Napa County · St. Helena · location approximate

Beringer Brothers Winery has been in continuous operation since its construction in 1876 by Frederick and Jacob Beringer. The brothers hired Chinese labor to build the winery and dig the tunnels into the limestone hills in which to age the wine. The temperature within these tunnels averages around 58 degrees and never varies more than two degrees summer or winter.

1971 register text, presented as a historical document. It uses the period's terms for Native people; the state's landmark listings still carry most of this wording, and the California Office of Historic Preservation maintains the program's current texts.

Many of these plaques have since been recast or their texts revised. The California Historical Landmarks program and its current texts are maintained by the California Office of Historic Preservation. California Office of Historic Preservation ↗
