The Genuine Article

America’s Duke was tough, honorable, ready to laugh and share a drink, and always ready to what men had to do in order to see justice done. He didn’t ask you to like him. He asked you to live up to him.

From small-town Iowa to Hollywood stardom, John Wayne’s life story is one for the books.  Some of his greatest roles were the ones he played off the silver screen supporting causes important to him and spending time with his family and friends.

Wayne Family Estate is dedicated to making wines that inspire like the life of The Duke who pursued the American dream through hard work and determination.  These unique traits can be found in each bottle of our handcrafted wines produced at our historic winery on the Silverado Trail in Calistoga, Calif. – Napa Valley.

Join us in celebrating The Genuine Article with each glass of amazing wine and support the John Wayne Cancer Foundation bringing courage, strength and grit to the fight against cancer.

John Wayne Cancer Foundation

John Wayne beat lung cancer in 1964.  He died 15 years later after a struggle with cancer of the stomach. During this difficult period, he became passionate about helping others fight this terrible disease.

To honor his memory, his family created the John Wayne Cancer Foundation in 1985 with a mission to lead the fight against cancer with courage, strength and grit.  The John Wayne Cancer Foundation funds novel and innovative programs that improve patients’ outcomes and save lives through research, education, awareness and support.
