Music Pioneer Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine has always been an innovator, breaking musical barriers and leading the way to his own unique blend of symphonic thrash metal. So, it’s no surprise that Dave and his equally as creative family have incorporated that intrepid spirit into a family business. They call it House of Mustaine—blending music, culture, and the art of fine winemaking. But this is not your ordinary name on a label. The Mustaines have dived deep, establishing their own vineyards, currently in the wine capitals of the world, both Italy and California, pouring their heart and soul into every bottle with a passion and deep respect for tradition, sustainability, and innovation in every pour.

Inspired by Megadeth’s groundbreaking collaboration with the San Diego Symphony and wanting to offer both traditional Megadeth fans and symphony patrons alike with fine wine, it has since expanded its portfolio to include ten small-batch, limited-edition wines grown in its sustainable vineyards across the globe. Each wine is a celebration of authenticity and artistry, named after one of Dave’s iconic songs and stamped with the Mustaine family crest. Just as every song has a story through its lyrics and melody, so does every wine through its culture and craftsmanship. Each bottle is a statement, making it just as bold, uncompromising, and unforgettable as the rock’n’roll legacy it was founded on.

House of Mustaine offers a flexible, subscription-based wine club that includes access to exclusive events and curated luxury travel experiences, first dibs on new releases, special pricing, access to all wines, and customizable monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual shipments of its current offerings.

House of Mustaine Wine Club members will also have private access to once-in-a-lifetime trips across the globe, with monthly luxury travel experiences being offered throughout 2025, starting with a February adventure to Thailand. The six-day trek will adventure through northern Thailand, blending high-energy outdoor activities (i.e., zip-lining, elephant safaris, white-water rafting) with authentic cultural and local culinary experiences, and stays in unique luxury accommodations.
