History

The winery was founded in 1933 by Louis M. Martini, who was born in Italy and immigrated to San Francisco in 1906. After returning to Italy to study winemaking, he and his father established the L.M. Martini Grape Products Company, which produced non-alcoholic products because of Prohibition. Anticipating the end of Prohibition, Martini established the Louis M. Martini Winery in St. Helena in the Napa Valley. He began to sell wine on December 5, 1933, the first day such sale was legally allowed.[7]
