It’s the most fruitful time of the year at V. Sattui Winery — harvest! For us, harvest is a very special thing. We work effortlessly to protect our land and vines year-round and it all pays off come September. On the 28th of August, Winemaker Brooks Painter, along with the winemaking team, blessed the first Sauvignon Blanc grapes picked in the 2018 harvest season.
What else makes it so special? Here at V. Sattui visitors get to witness and experience the winemaking process first-hand from start to finish. No special reservations required! Early risers can see grapes being picked. On property guests can observe the freshly harvested fruit being loaded to the crush pad, then pressed into juice in our live-action bladder press and finally pumped over to the fermentation process. Come and learn how processing white grapes differs from how we process red grapes. Our production and hospitality staff is available for Q and A.
Speaking of wine — here are a few new wines that we are looking forward to sharing with you! You can taste these wines in our tasting rooms or purchase these wines online.
The 2016 Los Carneros Chardonnay. This elegant Chardonnay has ripe pear, fig and honeydew that glide gracefully through to the finish.
The 2015 Anderson Valley Riesling is a distinctive and flavorful Riesling grown between the rolling hills of Anderson Valley. It is well-balanced with fresh flower impressions of jasmine and spiced pear.
The 2016 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir consists of bold cherry and raspberry flavors that lead into a powerful and sensual palette. It will surely leave you wanting more.
And, of course, it would not be fall without a Cab! The 2014 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has robust flavors of tobacco, toffee and truffle. This bottle is the best value 93-point Cab from Napa Valley and is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
There’s no better way to celebrate the harvest season than the V. Sattui Crush Party on October 6! Experience the process of winemaking like never before, getting a behind-the-scenes experience with your closest friends and family. Be part of an old-fashioned grape stomp, taste wine straight from the barrels, meet our growers, learn about barrel making and blending wine all while enjoying live music and wood-fired pizza right off the Tuscan grill.
We expect grapes of exceptional quality from the 2018 harvest and look forward to the newest vintage of V. Sattui wines. If you want to get a taste of these wines from previous vintages, be sure to book a tasting with us the next time you visit.
Step into the shoes of one of our winemakers for the day and experience everything harvest has to offer at V. Sattui Winery. Cheers to a wonderful season!

Changing lives since 1974, Homeward Bound of Marin is a safe place. A mission turned reality, Homeward Bound is a local non-profit paving the way to solve and prevent homelessness.
Dedicated to ending homelessness, these programs reflect the realization that a shelter alone would not solve the issue at hand. In addition to providing housing, Homeward Bound of Marin offers unique job-training programs, serving low-income students as well as residents.
Fresh starts begin in the Culinary Academy— an award-winning program designed to prepare students for a job in the culinary industry. A 10-week intensive course immerses students in a hands-on environment where they learn not only kitchen skills along with life skills. In addition to food preparation, knife techniques, and recipe sizing, teamwork and conflict resolution are key.
Fresh Starts graduate Lilyette Gallegos is a shining example that success is achievable. Unsure whether or not she would graduate high school, a career in culinary arts was only a dream. With a helping hand from Homeward Bound’s Fresh Starts Culinary Academy, hard work, and dedication, Lilyette was awarded for “Best All-Around Skills” and is now a high school graduate.
Currently employed at the Sausalito Yacht Club, she is an advocate and role model for anyone interested in getting a fresh start.
With over 60,000 nights of shelter provided last year, 343 beds offered in supportive housing, 72 students enrolled in culinary training, and $2.7 million saved through avoidable hospital stays, it is proven that Homeward Bound’s mix of “training, housing, and hope” goes a long way.
Whether it’s through volunteering or donating, community members have been partners to make ending homelessness a reality for many.
V.Sattui Winery, in partnership with Michelin-starred chef Stefano Masanti, is joining forces to support the shelter, housing, and training programs at Homeward Bound of Marin. Inspired by their strong Italian roots, V.Sattui and Chef Masanti have created a Midsummer pairing menu, featuring the traditional flavors of Italy.
Wines: Optional V. Sattui wine pairing or V. Sattui wines by the glass for an additional cost.
$60 per person – included a cooking demonstration, dinner. Proceeds support the shelter, housing and training programs at Homeward Bound of Marin.
Celebrate summer Italian-style with V.Sattui Winery & Chef Stefano Masanti!
Have you ever dreamt about vacationing in Italy? Imagine yourself in the village of Toscana or Lombardia– surrounded by lively music, laughter, aromas of mouth-watering food, all while sipping on a Rosato Di Sangiovese. Well, what if we told you we could bring Italy to you? Join us for the annual V.Sattui Festa Italiana, a mid-summer Italian festival.
A unique summertime tradition in Italy, people line the streets to celebrate Summer Solstice. The word “solstice” derives from ancient Italian history meaning, “the sun stands still.” It’s an illusion that plays a significant role in long-standing legends and ceremonies within the Italian culture.
Catholicism is at the heart of many Italian festivals; old traditions are mixed with modern day experiences, making mid-summer an exciting time of year for a visit. From jumping over bonfires in honor of rites of water and fire (might want to leave this one to the locals), to parades through city centers and street vendors filling the air with seasonal smells reminiscent of summer– it’s an event you don’t want to miss.
What’s an Italian celebration without food and wine? June, July, and August are all about fresh, vibrant flavors, a reflection of the abundant sunlight during harvest. Carrying on the tradition, V. Sattui Festa Italiana isn’t complete without a pig roast, complemented by dishes bursting with fresh herbs, garlic, and an Italian-must, wine.
A wine country event you can’t refuse– experience a night under the stars as we celebrate mid-summer, Italian-style. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be Italian, we celebrate family, friends, and you– our V. Sattui Community.
Food & Wine: Enjoy a delicious meal courtesy of V. Sattui Winery and the Pig Man of Petaluma, paired with our award-winning wines.
Live Entertainment: Dance the night away to music by Nino L’Italiano.
