Regusci Winery, located in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, is notable for being the first winery established in the area, with its origins dating back to 1877. The winery was initially built by Terrill Grigsby, a pioneer with historical ties to U.S. President William Harrison. The original wooden structure was destroyed by fire, leading to the construction of the existing stone winery in 1878. Grigsby faced various challenges, including financial difficulties and local anti-Chinese sentiment during that era. In 1932, Gaetano Regusci purchased the property, which had fallen into foreclosure. The Regusci family has since become a prominent farming family in the region, transitioning from dairy farming to wine production. The winery officially opened to the public in 1998, following years of grape sales to other wineries. Visitors to Regusci Winery can enjoy tastings in a picturesque setting, with options to taste wines outdoors or in the historic stone cellar. The winery offers a selection of wines, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Merlot, and provides a nostalgic experience with its charming surroundings and historical displays.
