Bio
Andy Beckstoffer
Beckstoffer Vinyards
Andy Beckstoffer is one of the early and most important leaders in the evolution of the Napa Valley to world-class grape growing region.
​
As a Founding Director and the second President of the Napa Valley Grape Growers Association, Andy forged an early, historic agreement on grape pricing that tied the price of grapes to retail bottle price. Thus began a new era in which grape quality and land preservation were brought to the forefront of the grape grower industry. To this day, the Napa Valley Grape Growers continues to thrive in its mission to preserve and promote Napa Valley’s world-class vineyards.
Andy was named “Napa’s most powerful grape grower” by both the Wall Street Journal and Wine Spectator.
