Carlo and Dante Mondavi

The visionary brothers behind RAEN Winery, hail from a storied lineage of vintners, being the grandsons of the legendary Robert Mondavi. Growing up immersed in the rich traditions of Napa Valley winemaking, they gained invaluable experience working alongside their father, Tim Mondavi, at Continuum Estate. Driven by a passion to explore the cool-climate viticulture, they ventured to the Sonoma Coast to establish RAEN in 2013. Their approach marries time-honored techniques with innovative practices, emphasizing organic farming, whole-cluster fermentation, and the use of neutral oak to create wines that are both expressive and balanced. Through RAEN, Carlo and Dante continue their family's legacy, crafting wines that honor the land and showcase the unique terroir of the Sonoma Coast.

The North Coast of California is the crown jewel of American winemaking, renowned for producing some of the world's most prestigious and sought-after wines. Home to legendary wine regions such as Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Mendocino, and Lake County, this area is defined by its diverse terroir, coastal influences, and generations of winemaking expertise. With its rolling vineyards, cool maritime breezes, and rich soil, the North Coast offers the perfect conditions for cultivating world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel. From the bold, structured reds of Napa Valley to the elegant, cool-climate wines of Sonoma and Mendocino, this region embodies the very essence of California wine culture. When people think of California wine country, they picture the scenic landscapes and historic vineyards of the North Coast—a place where tradition meets innovation, and every bottle tells a story of craftsmanship and excellence.
