You don’t have to travel to Europe for romance, not when there are five incredible castles in our own backyard.
The fourth-generation winemaker, who intended to construct an edifice that would honor his Italian ancestors and showcase his Castello di Amorosa wine label, discovered that his passion for medieval architecture knew few bounds.
The architectural masterpiece found itself in the news in 2020, when flames from the Glass Fire destroyed a farmhouse on the property and $5 million worth of wine that had been stored there. The majority of Sattui’s wine is stored in the Castello’s cellars and off-site. In the 150 years since, the brewery became a casualty of Prohibition, and the castle has largely remained hidden behind high walls and a tangle of garden in a neighborhood that’s best known for shipyards and housing projects.
The family rents out the castle for eclectic private parties and the occasional A-lister looking for off-the-beaten-track accommodations, and they may one day bottle its spring water. Like her father, Jennifer Gilbert finds herself enchanted anytime she works at the castle. “When I step through the gates, it becomes quiet,” she said. “You hear the birds in the garden, not the buses on the street or the construction, and I love to smell the wood and see the carvings.
Sam’s Castle in Pacifica, built by the McCloskey family of San Francisco as a refuge after the Great Earthquake of 1906 and purchased by Sam Mazza in 1959.
