What You Need to Know:
V. Sattui is a family-owned winery estate located in the heart of Napa Valley, with a history that spans three centuries, originally founded in 1885 by Vittorio Sattui.


Today, the winery, which opened in 1976, is overseen by by Dario Sattui, the great-grandson of the winery’s namesake an produces more than 60 different highly rated wines from 20 different varieties of grapes.  V. Sattui has won numerous awards throughout the years and the third consecutive year it has been named domestic Winery of the Year at the Winemaker Challenge.


The winery is fashioned after the style of traditional wine making estates in Italy that were built of stone and hand-hewn timber, with underground cellars and terraces offering breathtaking views. The Winery at once evokes the Old World, while offering an undeniably modern California wine tasting experience that makes guests feel that they have truly arrived in Wine Country.


 The picnic experience at V. Sattui is unmatched by any other property in the area and features:
  • More than 200 types of cheese and a wide array of salads, sandwiches and desserts available in the marketplace deli
  • BBQ on the weekends
  • Dozens of highly rated and award-winning wines sold on site
  • Sprawling picnic grounds that include two dozen tables nestled beneath ancient Valley Oak trees and tri-level terraces that overlook beautifully manicured gardens and vineyards.




Another interesting fact is that nearby Castello di Amorosa was built by Dario Sattui - Check out my review of this family-friendly winery here.
