Castello di Amorosa - Walking tour. Napa Valley. Wine capital of the world.

Today I visit the beautiful Castello di Amorosa in Calistoga, Napa Valley. Castello di Amorosa, the only authentic medieval (13th-century) Italian Tuscan castle and winery built in America, officially lowered its drawbridge for business in April 2007. Castello di Amorosa is nestled in the western hills on 171 acres just minutes south of The Napa Valley town of Calistoga. After several decades of personal adventure visiting and studying medieval castles and wineries throughout Italy and Europe, Dario Sattui, a successful 4th-generation Italian winemaker and entrepreneur, began building Castello di Amorosa in 1994. Over the course of this marathon project, the Castello has evolved to include over 136,000 square feet, including 107 rooms (90 of which are devoted to winemaking and wine storage); an enormous Great Hall with 2-story replica Tuscan frescoes painted by Italian artists and a 500-year old fireplace; 8,000 tons of hand-chiseled stones; 8 levels (4 above ground and 4 below); a drawbridge, dungeon and torture chamber; medieval church; and arguably the single most impressive wine barrel room in the U.S., with ancient Roman cross-vaulted ceilings.
Thank you for your support!

Hello, do you have to pay (make reservation) even to drive up to the parking lot that you have shown in this video ?
Can we park the car in this parking lot without any reservation and then just roam outside the castle (for free) without entering inside the castle ?
thanks

Good question. As i remember right, we had reservation before even going to Napa Valley. But i think you are right, you can go to the parking lot, park your car, wonder around and if you want to go inside the castle than you need to pay.
