FIJI Water was started in 1996 by David Gilmour, one-time partner in Clairtone Sound Corporation Limited. Stewart and Lynda Rae Resnick (also affiliated with Teleflora, POM Wonderful, Suterra, and Paramount Agribusiness) are the current owners.
In late 2010 FIJI Water acquired JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery of Paso Robles, California, in an effort to spread their brand over a wider variety of products. It is best known for producing California style Bordeaux and Syrah wines distributed throughout the world.
