Giving Back to the Napa Valley Community
Throughout the years Castello di Amorosa has given back to a wide variety of local causes. For more than 20 years we and our sister winery, V. Sattui Winery, have worked with organizations like the Napa Land Trust, Boys & Girls Club, Wildlife Rescue Center, Hands Across the Valley, and numerous community organizations in Calistoga and St. Helena. In 2017, we donated a combined $100,000 to the Napa Valley Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund to help with the recovery from the devastating wine country fires. We are proud of our community involvement and are happy to give to causes that we believe passionately about.
Notable Donations:
- $1.6 million to build a new facility for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Calistoga and St. Helena, for which I was voted Citizen of the Year in Calistoga in 2016.
