Driving through Napa Valley, in addition to hundreds of acres of sprawling vines and mountains, you’ll see stunning architecture and some iconic landmarks that are uniquely Napa.
Kathryn and Craig Hall acquired the historic St. Helena Bergfeld Winery in 2003 and re-opened the space as HALL St. Helena that year. It’s here that you’ll see Bunny Foo Foo, the 35 foot polished steel statue that beckons passersby on Highway 29 to turn down the driveway to HALL St. Helena. This is just one of the notable works of art along the property as Kathryn Hall set out to design a place to showcase fine wines alongside expressive art and masterful architecture.
The HALL St. Helena production facility and visitor center merge history, art, and innovation in an eco-conscious package. It has been recognized and awarded by LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), the preeminent building ratings program that is the nationally accepted benchmark for the construction, design and operations of green buildings.
When we visited last month, we enjoyed a flight of HALL Estate Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a sample of WALT Pinot Noir and BACA Zinfandel as these three labels fall within the HALL empire and all the grapes are processed and turned into wine at the St. Helena gravity flow facility. VP of Winemaking Megan Gunderson leads the wine program for the three, family-owned luxury brands, HALL, WALT and BACA Wines.
Tours and tastings start at $60.
