Beringer on the Board
The Beringer estate has been designated as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places — a recognition of its Victorian-era Rhine House, built in 1884, and the broader significance of the property to the history of Napa Valley. Being featured on the Monopoly board is a different kind of recognition, but one that reflects how deeply embedded Beringer is in the fabric of the valley.
Ryan Rech, Beringer's General Manager and Senior Winemaker, shared his reaction:
"The iconic Monopoly game is an opportunity for everyone to live the Napa Valley lifestyle in the comfort of their home while enjoying our award-winning wines. Graced with stately 19th century architecture and beautiful gardens, Beringer's estate, including the Victorian-era Rhine House, was designated as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. Now, to be immortalized on the Monopoly game board for generations to come is not only fun but feels like another milestone for our landmark estate and allows all ages to enjoy the Napa Valley experience."
On the founding of Beringer and its place in the valley's story:
"Napa Valley's roots as a wine-growing region trace back to the early 1800s and still today it is the epitome of beautiful wine country scenery, incredible luxury properties, and legendary world class wine. Founded in 1876 by entrepreneurial German brothers Frederick, a financier, and Jacob, a winemaker, I can't imagine a Napa Valley Monopoly board without Beringer!"
Jennifer Tripsea, a representative for Top Trumps USA, added:
"We're thrilled to launch Monopoly Napa Valley Edition in time for the holidays and to celebrate one of the most beloved, culturally rich and geographically beautiful wine regions in the world. We've spent months creating a portrayal of the area's dynamic communities that we hope locals and visitors alike will enjoy for years to come."
