Ágoston Haraszthy (1812–1869), often celebrated as a pioneer of California viticulture, significantly shaped the state’s wine industry through his introduction of European grape varieties, innovative practices, and institutional advocacy. This paper examines Haraszthy’s life, his contributions to California’s wine industry, and the relevance of his strategies for addressing contemporary climate change challenges. By integrating historical analysis with revisionist scholarship and current scientific research, it highlights Haraszthy’s focus on varietal diversity, terroir-driven site selection, and collaborative networks. These elements offer a blueprint for resilience in a warming climate, emphasizing genetic diversity, strategic adaptation, and global collaboration to ensure the sustainability of California’s wine industry and inform viticultural regions worldwide.
