About Lapis Luna

" Don’t surrender to doubt be led by the dreams in your heart. "

Brand Story

Established in 1999, Lapis Luna translates to “stone” and “moon”. Over the past 20 years, we have been on a journey to produce exceptional wines from incredible California vineyards. Our wines deliver fresh and vibrant fruit, balanced with lively acidity and good structure, creating true-to-varietal expressions that can be enjoyed every night of the week.

The label artwork originated with 400-year-old copperplate engravings from the early 1600s, published by the poet Herman Hugo. Meneer Hugo was born in Brussels, Belgium. In 1624, he published the popular book “Pia Desideria” (Loving Desires) containing engravings and emblems of love. The book became a classic of seventeenth century. Each Lapis Luna label shows a faceless hero overcoming obstacles in a timeless story of aspiration and redemption. The quest depicted on the bottles reflects the hero’s journey to reach for the moon.
