ABOUT SALVESTRIN ESTATE & WINERY
A legendary landscape – at a glance.
Salvestrin Estate and winery is situated in the heart of St. Helena, California, where time has gently
embraced historic grounds. Once the residence of Dr. George Belden Crane, a revered Napa Valley
pioneer, our estate stands as a living homage to its storied past. The Salvestrin family acquired a
portion of the Crane Estate in 1932, comprising 23 vineyard acres and the Crane family home,
commencing a century-long legacy dedicated to nurturing this sacred land.
As stewards of the Napa Valley for four generations, the Salvestrin family seeks an Estate
Ambassador who understands a fundamental truth: our vineyard isn’t just a business– it’s our home.
From the vineyard to the winery, to Grandpa Ed’s back porch chair, you'll find a legacy rooted in
tradition and a commitment that runs deeper than the vines. From the meticulous tending of the
grapes to the clinking of glasses over a bowl of pasta at Grandma Susie’s dining table, our story is an
ever-unfolding narrative of passion and resilience.
