Stu & Karen Lerner

Stu Lerner

Proprietor Stu Lerner has spent the last four decades nurturing his deep appreciation for the great vineyards and wines of Napa Valley. He has shared his journey over the years with his wife, Karen, along with their friends and family. More recently, alongside winemaker and business partner Russell Bevan, the Lerners have turned their dream of their own Napa Valley winery into reality.

The portfolio of Lerner Project reflects Stu Lerner’s and Russell Bevan’s commitment to making the absolute best wine possible. As Russell likes to say about his partner, “The first thing Stu told me — it was so important — he said, 'If I'm going to do this, the one thing we will never do is compromise on quality.'”
