Peter Mondavi Sr. of Charles Krug Winery will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the California State Fair this year. In honoring Mondavi, the selection committee noted his unselfish commitment to Napa Valley wine making and more than 60 years of groundbreaking innovations.

“We are thrilled and honored that dad is being acknowledged for his life’s work,” said Peter Mondavi Jr., co-proprietor of Charles Krug Winery, the historic estate that has been in the Mondavi family since 1943.

Mondavi joins past Lifetime Achievement Award winners including Mike Grgich, Warren Winiarski and Robert Mondavi. This year’s honorees will be feted July 9 at California’s Grape & Gourmet, the State Fair’s annual celebration of California wine held at the Sacramento Convention Center. The awards ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. and will be followed by a public tasting of this year’s award-winning wines.
