Mountain Chronicles

Built by Tiburcio Parrott at the end of the nineteenth century, our historic Miravalle mansion has several iconic features, but one of the most notable is the beautiful stained glass over the staircase.

Spring Mountain Vineyard, a historic Napa Valley estate established in the late 1800s by Tribucio Parrot, preserves century-old olive trees that have witnessed generations. This fall, twelve resilient trees were carefully relocated to ensure their longevity. Visitors can enjoy peaceful strolls through the sunlit grove while savoring our fine wines. These enduring trees not only honor our rich legacy but also enhance the estate’s environmental diversity as we prepare to harvest olives for organic oil.

Spring Mountain Vineyard holds a vast wine library from the 1970s, showcasing its legacy of crafting age-worthy wines. Visitors can explore this history through exclusive tastings of vintage Cabernets that reflect the estate’s unique mountain climate and winemaking excellence.
