Spottswoode Winery

Spottswoode winery is a family-owned historic vineyard and winery in St. Helena renowned for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Established in 1882 by George Schonewald, the estate is distinguished by the pre-prohibition Victorian home depicted on the wine label.

The Estate has three historic buildings that were originally built circa 1884–1885. The Colonial Revival-style, with its famous stone pillar entry gates, the Victorian farmhouse now serves as our winery office, and the Kraft Cellar is a pre-Prohibition stone building where our Cabernet Sauvignon is barrel-aged. We also added a tasting room and a state-of-the-art winery – both designed to honor the historic nature of our buildings.
