Historically, Charles Krug introduced innovative ideas in California winemaking. He began making wine using a cider press for pressing,^[3] carefully selected rootstocks, varietals and vineyard sites. The knowledge he gained and shared benefited the young California wine industry.^[4]^[5]^[6] Following Krug's death, James Moffitt Sr. purchased the winery in 1894. In 1943, Robert Mondavi persuaded his parents, Cesare and Rosa Mondavi, to purchase the inactive winery from Moffitt for $75,000.

The winery remains owned by the family of Peter Mondavi, Robert's brother.^[7]
