Item Description
Markham Vineyards in one of Napa Valley’s first wineries.
Jean Laurent came to California in 1852 to seek gold but instead founded one of the first wineries in Napa Valley. Laurent built his first winery in 1874, which was a modest wooden structure. Business was good and in 1879 he built the stone cellar that is the heart of the present-day winery. Laurent was one of the largest producers in the California wine boom of the 1880s. After Laurent’s death in 1890, the winery continued operating under a succession of owners. Bruce Markham arrived in Napa Valley almost 100 years later, also looking to start a winery. He purchased the old Laurent winery, which was operating as a cooperative at the time. In 1978, he founded Markham Vineyards and the old Laurent winery was reborn.
