Saint Helena Winery is situated northeast of St. Helena, bordered by the Napa River and York Creek, within the city limits. Established in 1994 by Peter and Paulette Story, the winery began as a grape-growing venture before transitioning to commercial winemaking in 1999 with the help of consultant Mark Herold. In 2010, the winery was sold to Federated Insurance, and Peter Story moved on to create Mount Saint Joseph Wines. Under the current ownership, winemaker Lindsey Wallingford oversees both vineyard management and winemaking, with support from vineyard foreman Javier Nino de Rivera. The winery focuses on producing premium, handcrafted wines, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, with meticulous vineyard management practices aimed at low yields and high-quality fruit. The estate spans 19 acres, with 13.5 acres planted to vines, including eight clones of Cabernet Sauvignon. Saint Helena Winery typically produces 1,200 to 1,500 cases annually, emphasizing a gentle, harmonious wine style. The winery's offerings include a range of red and white wines, characterized by balance and complexity, appealing to both seasoned wine drinkers and those new to Chardonnay. The winery is also certified by Fish Friendly Farming, reflecting its commitment to sustainable practices.
