How Many Mondavi Descendants Are Making Wine Today?

If you sit down and actually try to count how many descendants of Robert Mondavi are making wine today, the number is surprisingly high—and surprisingly fluid. Depending on how strictly you define “making wine,” the total comes in at around eight direct descendants actively involved in winemaking or running wine brands. Here’s where that number comes from:

1. Tim Mondavi (Son) — Continuum Estate, Raen (founding partner)

Tim is the most prominent standard-bearer after the family’s departure from Robert Mondavi Winery. Continuum on Pritchard Hill is his flagship, and his fingerprints are all over its identity.

2. Marcia Mondavi Borger (Daughter) — Continuum Estate

Marcia is deeply involved in the family project and has long played an active role.

3. Carissa Mondavi (Granddaughter, Tim’s Daughter) — Continuum Estate

Carissa is part of the next generation shaping Continuum.

4. Dante Mondavi (Grandson, Tim’s Son) — Raen Wines, Continuum

Dante co-founded RAEN (with his brother) and contributes to Continuum as well.

5. Carlo Mondavi (Grandson, Tim’s Son) — Raen Wines

Co-founder of RAEN and a vocal advocate for sustainability initiatives like The Monarch Tractor.

6. Rob Mondavi Jr. (Grandson, Michael’s Son) — Michael Mondavi Family Estate

Formerly the face of the Michael Mondavi Family Estate portfolio, including Oberon, M, and other Napa-focused wines.

7. Dina Mondavi (Granddaughter, Michael’s Daughter) — Michael Mondavi Family Estate

Active in the family’s estate operations and brand building.

8. Angelina Mondavi (Granddaughter, Michael’s Daughter) — Aloft, Dark Matter

Angelina and her sisters launched small-production Napa labels that operate independently of the larger Mondavi-branded holdings.

So Is the Final Count Eight? Sort of.

Eight is the most defensible number if you stick to direct offspring and grandchildren who are actively making wine or running wine brands. But depending on how you categorize the broader family tree, the count can shift upward—some cousins consult, others have boutique labels, and a few sit in roles that hover between operational and creative. So the short answer is eight, and the longer answer is eight-plus, depending on what you choose to count. Either way, it’s a lineage that shows no signs of fading.
