Silverado Vineyards is located east of Yountville, California in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley.
Here, over a century ago Robert Louis Stevenson stayed and wrote, “The beginning of vine planting is like the beginning of mining for precious metals: the winegrower also ‘prospects’.”[1] Although the Millers' original intention was to only grow grapes, they began construction of their own winery on the property in 1981.
[2] Architect Dick Keith designed the old California mission style structure, which is often mistaken for an actual restoration.
[citation needed] The winery has acquired a total of seven family owned vineyards located in various districts throughout the Valley.
[4] In July 2022, Silverado Vineyards was acquired by Foley Family Wines, with an estimated purchase price of over $150 million.
