Wine Spectator: Napa’s Newton Vineyard Is Reborn
September 9, 2025Newton Vineyards is not dead yet. Since 2001, the Napa Valley winery has been through a change in ownership, a devastating fire that destroyed its Spring Mountain winery, and an announcement from its owners at Moët Hennessy, the wine and spirits arm of LVMH, that it was shutting down for good. Now friends Nick Livanos and Eric Bryan Seuthe have purchased Newton, including 487 acres and the brand, which they plan to revive. No purchase price was disclosed.
“We are really excited about what we are going to be doing with this property,” said Seuthe, an attorney who specializes in civil litigation and trials. “We are not venture capitalists, we are just people who love Napa Valley, Napa Valley wines, and seized on the opportunity to purchase such a storied and beautiful property.” Wine Spectator has the full story.
