Visitors to V. Sattui Winery Napa can sense the history of this longstanding business as they walk through the doors. But they’re often surprised to find out that this popular Napa Valley winery got its start in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood, where Vittorio and Katerina Sattui made their home after immigrating from Italy and began making wine. The family began making Napa Valley wine in the 1970s, and the rest is history. Before visiting, discover these four important things to love about V. Sattui Winery.
This winery prides itself on having one of the largest available selections of small-batch, small lot, award-winning wines. The process begins in the vineyard, where V. Sattui employs a sustainable approach from vine to cork, to ensure that each of its wines meets its quality standards. Brooks Painter, the winery’s Director of Winemaking, has earned multiple awards, including Winemaker of the Year from the San Francisco International Wine Competition and the American Fine Wine Competition. The winery itself has earned top marks as well.
V. Sattui produces more than 60 types of wine, including dozens that have earned the coveted 90+ point rating. The winery is known for its big, bold Cabernet Sauvignon. Other popular wines include its Black-Sears Zinfandel, with its deep, rich color and concentrated flavors; its award-winning Pinot Noir, with its bright, complex flavors; and its Paradiso blend. V. Sattui also produces numerous whites, including Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, along with fortified wines like Angelica and Madeira.
Is there anything better on a beautiful sunny day than a gourmet picnic? With V. Sattui’s artisan deli and lovely picnic grounds, guests can relax and spend the day tasting wine and noshing on wonderful picnic food. It hosts weekend barbecues, and sell its house-made charcuterie, 200 different kinds of cheese, sandwiches, pastas and more house-made goods, including standout desserts like the gelato and fruit tarts. The picnic grounds have plenty of space for people to spread out, with two acres of landscapes grounds studded with mature trees and flowers.
Not all Napa Valley wineries have the space to hold weddings and private events. But V. Sattui Winery Napa does. It can accommodate private events for as few as eight people or as many as 200 people in its stately stone buildings and rolling, romantic grounds. It’s highly regarded as one of the top winery wedding venues in the world, and it also offers a lovely backdrop for holiday events, special gatherings and other types of parties. The winery features several indoor and outdoor venues, including the Barrel Cellar, which can accommodate up to 250 for a seated dinner; the Gold Room, which is ideal for smaller groups of 14 or fewer; the Lower Courtyard, which can fit 250 people for a reception; or the vineyard lawn, which offers sweeping views and enough space for 250 people.
