V. Sattui Winery, Napa

Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, V. Sattui Winery is a family-owned gem that blends rich history, award-winning wines, and a welcoming atmosphere. Originally founded in 1885 in San Francisco by Italian immigrant Vittorio Sattui, the winery thrived until Prohibition forced its closure in 1920. Decades later, in 1976, Vittorio’s great-grandson, Dario Sattui, revived the legacy by opening the winery’s now-iconic location in Saint Helena.

V. Sattui is more than just a winery-it’s a destination. With a vast retail store, a renowned deli and salumeria, and a scenic picnic area shaded by ancient Valley Oak trees, it offers visitors a complete wine-country experience. The estate spans 38 acres and includes tri-level terraces, manicured gardens, and event spaces perfect for weddings and celebrations. The winery also hosts signature events like the annual Harvest Ball.

A Napa Green Certified vineyard, V. Sattui produces over 60 different wines, many of which have received 90+ point ratings. Its wines, crafted from sustainably and organically farmed vineyards across Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Solano counties, are sold exclusively on-site or online, following a 100% Direct-to-Consumer model. Notably, Director of Winemaking Brooks Painter has earned multiple “Winemaker of the Year” accolades, while the winery itself has been recognized as “Winery of the Year” at major national competitions 18 times in the past decade.

For those looking to indulge in an immersive tasting experience, V. Sattui offers daily wine tastings, vineyard tours, and an extensive selection of artisanal cheeses and charcuterie. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or a casual visitor, this Napa Valley institution promises a memorable visit, infused with Italian hospitality and world-class winemaking.
