House Of Mustaine, the wine brand owned by Megadeth man Dave Mustaine, is expanding. The company, which is based in Nashville, TN and owns vineyards in Italy and California, is now offering a range of members-only events in Nashville alongside a series of "global curated luxury excursions."

"The inception of House of Mustaine stemmed from our aspiration to merge our love for music, culture, and travel with the enduring craft of winemaking," states company president Pamela Mustaine. "Similar to how Dave forged a new genre with Megadeth, we aimed to innovate within the realm of wine."

"This adventure was sparked by a passion for uncovering unique, obscure varietals and sharing those moments with friends and family. Our family has consistently broken barriers, whether through music or in our everyday lives, and House of Mustaine embodies that essence: bold, creative, and committed to greatness."

"It’s more than just wine; it’s about seizing moments, weaving stories, and preserving history with every bottle. House of Mustaine represents the continuation of our family’s heritage."

The company has introduced several new experiences, including a wine dinner at Yola, an Italian eatery located in Nashville. Additionally, they are hosting a five-course meal that highlights "the intersection of art, food, and wine," in partnership with the Frist Art Museum in the city.

International adventures feature a six-day excursion to Northern Thailand, where wine enthusiasts can partake in zip-lining, elephant safaris, and white-water rafting, all while indulging in local culinary experiences. Additionally, there's a program in Morocco that offers camel trekking and a thrilling hot air balloon ride. For wine aficionados in the UK, there's an enticing London outing that reportedly includes an intriguing Murder Mystery Train experience.

Pamela Mustaine is joined on the House Of Mustaine management team by her daughter Electra, who serves as the Vice President and Sommelier, and her son Justis, who takes on the role of company strategist.

"Our escapades are always sprinkled with a dash of chaos and plenty of laughter," Electra remarks. "When it comes to tackling the unexpected, we’re seasoned pros! I still remember the time we found ourselves locked inside our hotel room or when our GPS misguided us right into the dry riverbed of an ancient borgho."

"One memorable incident occurred when we ran out of gas in the Sibillini Mountains while guiding club members through the harvest. In Italy, time seems to move differently, and we were in a hurry to reach a horseback riding adventure. Let's just say we discovered the tough way that gas stations are few and far between in many mountain areas, particularly for specific fuel types."

"Imagine us desperately negotiating with locals in our fractured Italian for fuel as the sun dipped lower – yet, somehow, we always find a solution. These moments, which could spell disaster for many, have gifted us with tales that embody the adventurous and unpredictable essence of House of Mustaine."
