ENTERTAINERS. ENTREPRENEURS. WINE EVANGELISTS.

An unorthodox wine story…

The idea for House of Mustaine was inspired by Dave Mustaine's somewhat, unusual pairing with the San Diego Symphony. As Dave debuted his first performance with the orchestra, he and his family wanted to offer both traditional MEGADETH fans and symphony patrons attending, something to share together. What better medium than wine? He and his wife, Pamela Mustaine, worked with a local winery to develop their first wine; 2013 Symphony Interrupted, Cabernet Sauvignon.

Upon release, it immediately sold out of all 59 cases produced.

The Mustaines then hand planted their first estate vineyard together in 2015 and so, the seeds were sown. Since then, they've released eight different limited edition/small batch wines of which the family business was born.

Now, after more than four decades of a successful music career, Dave Mustaine's musical and creative influences found their way into the wines. The Mustaines have sought out the top regions, terroir, and winemakers across the globe to share and entrust ancient practices and develop exclusive custom wines for the House of Mustaine.

We are proud to note that all House of Mustaine wines are from certified sustainable vineyards, and we pursue and embrace organic practices (you’ll find in our upcoming Italian collection).

When finished, the wines are named after one of Dave’s songs, and finally, stamped with the Mustaine family crest, or coat of arms.

It’s no secret, this is a passion project, and you’ll discover the Mustaines are proudly hands-on in every aspect, from the roots in the soil, to the very last sip.

"This is not how I expected to spend the second half of my career. I've found that making quality music and a quality wine product starts with the people closest to me. 

So here we are... doing this together".

"Even seven years in, we feel like we're just getting started. We've gained so much knowledge in this process but as my daughter Electra, and son Justis, continue to learn the business and take a more active role in House of Mustaine, Pam and I can already see the potential about to ensue".
