Sutter Home Winery

Sutter Home Winery is a wine estate in St. Helena focused on producing multiple grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The operation spans several locations across Napa County with production facilities and a visitor center.

John Thomann, an immigrant from Switzerland and Germany, founded the winery in 1874. The property was later purchased in 1948 by John and Mario Trinchero after experiencing years of decline.

The name traces back to the original owners who shaped this place. Visitors can see how the estate remains tied to local wine traditions and the broader identity of Napa Valley.

The location is open during daytime hours and offers wine tastings along with guided tours through production areas. Wear comfortable shoes since tours cover different sections of the facility.

A wine called White Zinfandel was created by accident in 1975 and turned the estate into a nationally recognized producer. This unexpected creation led to its growth into one of the country's largest wineries.
