Note |
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, Greystone Cellars, once known as the largest winery in California, has been home to many wineries and associations over the course of its history. Built in 1888, the stone building was originally the home of the cooperative Greystone Winery, founded by William Bowers Bourn, Jr. and Everett Wise. In 1894 Greystone Cellars was purchased by Charles Carpy and became the home of the California Wine Association. In 1925 the Bisceglia brothers of San Jose cannery fame purchased Greystone where they produced wine. The property was then sold to the Christian Brothers religious order in 1950. Christian Brothers produced wine and brandy here until 1989. In 1991 the Christian Brothers winery was sold to Heublein, Inc. The next year Heublein sold it to the Culinary Institute of America. Today Greystone Cellars is home to the west coast campus of the Culinary Institute of America. From: "Greystone Cellars" The History of a Napa Valley Icon, by Rebecca Yerger.
