Completed in 1884 by Architect Albert Schroepfer, Frederick Beringer's residence has beautiful exterior stonework, stained-glass windows and interior wood paneling - all exhibiting exceptional artistry and craftsmanship. When building his 17-room mansion, Frederick wanted to create a California villa that was reminiscent of the family's impressive old German home at Mainz-on-the-Rhine. Built at a cost of about $28,000 the Rhine House is a classic example of ornate Victorian architecture with its many gables, turrets and ornaments.
Our online tour offers a rare glimpse into the past of this historic property told through the Beringer family members themselves. Shot completely in high definition, you will learn more about the early days of the Beringer Vineyards property, the Rhine House and how the company overcame all the obstacles like the Great Depression, Two World Wars and Phyloxera to remain one of the oldest operating and widely recognized wineries in the Napa Valley. |
