What is the historical significance of the Red Barn?
Our barn is an old ghost winery, built in 1884 by a German vintner named Christian Pugh Adamson. Fondly referred to as “the Red Barn”, our winery is the oldest board and batten building in the Napa Valley. When Frog’s Leap purchased the Red Barn in 1994, we took great care to restore it to its earlier glory and re-used close to 85% of the original barn wood. Frog’s Leap is proud to have received the 1995 Award of Merit for Restoration of the Red Barn from the Napa County Landmark, Inc. ~ and what a thrill it is to be making wine in the old Red Barn after over 100 years.
