The Castello di Amorosa

Castle Winery in Napa Valley

Castello di Amorosa is an authentic Tuscan castle in the Napa Valley here they make authentic Italian Style wines. 

Two thirds of the Castello is underground featuring 8 levels where 4 levels are above ground.  There are 107 rooms , 121,000 square feet, 3 acres.  200 containers were brought from Europe filled with old materials, furnishings, antiques, bricks.  The owner designed the castle to reflect a medieval atmosphere to include a drawbridge, towers, courtyards and even a moat.   It has a deep well, and a church.  The Great Hall is used for dinners and filming.  The greatest feature is their massive collections of wine both new and the spoiled that line the wall.   The owner added one unique touch, a prison and torture chamber.

The Castello di Amorosa specializes in small lots of wines sold only at the winery.
