Castello Di Amorosa

It took more than 8,000 tons of hand-chiseled local stone and nearly one million antique bricks imported from Europe to complete the castle. More than 200 containers of old materials and furnishings were shipped over from Europe to decorate the interior. The construction took 15 years and opened to the public on April 7, 2007.

Today, Castello di Amorosa is considered an architectural masterpiece with all the elements of an authentic medieval castle: a moat, drawbridge, five towers, high defensive ramparts, courtyards and loggias, a chapel, stables, an armory, and even a torture chamber. 107 rooms in total, no rooms alike.

Containing some of the most beautiful vaulted wine cellars in the world, Castello di Amorosa has fulfilled Dario’s dream of producing superior quality wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with the same love and attention to detail that went into building his castle.

Caymus-Suisun Winery

Separated from Napa by just an invisible county line, Suisun Valley became an AVA in 1982, just one year after its famous neighbor. Yet this exceptional wine region remains largely undiscovered. The Wagner family was quickly drawn in by its pastoral beauty, small family farms and high-quality fruit. This special landscape is legally protected by an agricultural preserve. The family’s excitement has led them to farm grapes in Suisun and create a new wine label, Caymus-Suisun. Now – 50 years after founding Caymus Vineyards – the Wagners have opened Caymus-Suisun Winery.
