V. Sattui Winery

V. Sattui traces its origins to 1885, when Italian immigrant Vittorio Sattui founded St. Helena Wine Cellars in San Francisco, later renamed V. Sattui Wine Company. Prohibition forced the winery to close in 1920, ending its first chapter. Nearly six decades later, Vittorio's great-grandson Dario Sattui revived the family legacy by re-establishing the winery in St. Helena in 1976, becoming the 46th winery to open in Napa Valley following Prohibition. The year 2025 marks the 140th anniversary of Vittorio Sattui's arrival in America, and 2026 will mark the 50th anniversary of the current Napa Valley location.
