A castle in the middle of Napa Valley? Yes, please!
Castello di Amorosa
Over the next few blogs we are going to explore some of the wineries we visit on our Napa Valley Wine Trolley tours. These wineries stand out above the rest and we’re excited to introduce them to you. First up is Castello di Amorosa. This is one of our favorite wineries because it not only produces a variety of exceptional, Italian-style wines, it offers guests a chance to step back in time and explore a 13th century inspired Tuscan castle right in the heart of the Napa Valley.
Surrounded by vineyards and old olive trees, this stunning castle resides in the hills of Calistoga. General admission ($25) not only includes five tastings of their premium wine, but roaming access to two levels of the castle. Explore the Front Ramparts, Chapel, Great Hall, Courtyard, Stables, Main Tasting Bar, and Knights’ Hall while enjoying your favorite wine and the one-of-a-kind ambiance. As an added treat, you can add wine tasting paired with chocolate, cheese platters, or meat platters for a reasonable price.
Castello di Amorosa also offers a variety of additional tours including a Guided Tour ($40/1 ¾ hours), Cheese and Wine Pairing Tour ($60/2 hours), and a Royal Food and Wine Pairing Tour ($80/2 hours). While each of these tours are unique, they all include a walking tour of the castle and grounds, barrel tasting, and a private wine tasting of their handcrafted Italian-style wines.
Named #1 in things to do in Calistoga, Castello di Amorosa will not disappoint. Our previous Napa Valley Wine Trolley tour guests praise this winery for its stunning views, lively tours, and world-class wines. I mean, who wouldn’t want to enjoy a glass of wine while sitting in a castle and overlooking a vineyard? See for yourself why it’s one of our favorites!
