Dante Mondavi is a fourth-generation winegrower. He accredits his grandfather Robert as his inspiration, and father Tim as his greatest teacher still today. From a young age, Dante recalls looking forward to spending his summers amongst the vines, working alongside his father and siblings in the Robert Mondavi Winery
vineyards.
After graduating high school, Dante jumped at the opportunity to work harvest in the cellar and vineyards, beginning with Robert Mondavi Winery, followed by Opus One. He studied wine business at Webster University in Geneva, Switzerland, followed by Viticulture and Enology at U.C. Davis in California and in 2007 he joined his family's new endeavor, Continuum, managing the cellar for several years. He continues to be an integral part of this winery today, working closely with his father and siblings, now overseeing West Coast Sales.
In 2013, alongside his brother Carlo, Dante founded RAEN winery to focus on producing world class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay along the West Sonoma Coast.
Dante currently resides in Napa, California with his wife, Katy, their two young daughters, and their dog, Ginger.
Carissa Mondavi is fourth generation winegrower working with her family at Continuum Estate. Involved in every facet of her family business today, Carissa plays key roles guiding Communications, Marketing,
Hospitality and Sales.
While she grew up playing in the vineyards, her love for great wine began at the family table with her father's passion for great wines of the world. Summer internships in the cellar and the vineyards deepened this love for the culture of wine and its connection to nature.
Inspired everyday by working together with their talented team and the vineyards and wines themselves- it is the culture of wine, and how it brings people together she loves most. As her grandfather, Robert, used to say
"Interest is not enough, you have to be passionate!" Carissa is passionate to be contributing to her family's ongoing vision and commitment in wine today.
