The winery property was once part of an estate owned by Edward Turner Bale.[4] In 1993, Sattui purchased 171 acres (69 ha) for $3.2 million, then spent another $40 million to construct the castle, outbuildings, and the winery inside the castle; construction work began in 1995.[5]
During the Glass Fire that began on September 27, 2020, the farmhouse suffered major damage,[6] the entire 2020 vintage of the wine Fantasia was lost,[7] but the castle was left unharmed.[8]
