Castello di Amorosa Winery in the Napa Valley is a unique destination offering award-wining wines and authentic 14th century Tuscan castle tours. The castle, which took 15 years to built and cost nearly $40 million, has over 100 rooms, a medieval courtyard, watch towers, torture chamber and secret passageways.
The castle has eight levels, four underground and four above ground. The Great Hall has a 500-year-old fireplace and 22 foot high ceilings with hand-painted frescoes which make you feel like you've been transported to medieval Siena, Italy.
Castello di Amorosa Winery specializes in Italian-style wines. General Admission includes access to parts of the castle and wine tasting in the main tasting room.
If you want to learn more about the castle and enjoy private wine tasting, call ahead and book a Standard Tour & Tasting which consists of a guided tour, followed by a tasting of five of their Premium Wines in one of the private tasting bars. Visitors also enjoy complimentary tasting of the current releases.
