Art & culture

Where wine and art meet.

Creativity has always been part of the blend.

Montpellier was founded on the belief that a bottle of wine can carry art into everyday life — on its label, at its table, and in the evenings it accompanies.

The label

Art you can hold.

The front label of every Montpellier bottle was designed by Margaret B. Mondavi, and the back label was penned by Robert G. Mondavi. Their work is the creative foundation of the brand — preserved exactly as it was intended, from the wordmark and mountain icon to the proportions and frame colors.

Afternoons among paintings.

We have always imagined Montpellier beside a gallery visit — an afternoon spent looking slowly, followed by a glass and a long conversation about what you saw. Art asks for attention; so does a well-made wine.

The theater

Evenings with a curtain call.

Dinner before the performance, a glass of Pinot Noir, conversation that continues past the final act — these are the evenings Montpellier was made for. Culture, like wine, is best shared.

A cultured wine, an approachable table, an authentic life.
