Greystone was also the first California winery to be operated and illuminated by electricity, produced by a boiler and gas generator located in a mechanical room below the building's central front wing. Architect George Percy built a 117,000-square-foot stone building, known as Greystone Cellars as a cooperative wine cellar in 1889. Hamden McIntyre designed the gravity flow winery. This 3 story building includes a basement. The length is around 400’ long, 76‘ wide, and 66‘ tall, with 22-inch thick walls. As a wine cellar, it held 3.5 million gallons. The building was designed in the Richardson Romanesque style, with an arched entrance way and tower, stone mullions and transoms, a low sweeping roof, well-fitted stonework, and a large and simple stone façade. The cornerstone was laid on June 15, 1888; beneath it was laid, several bottles of wine, a copy of a St. Helena Star and San Francisco newspapers, and foreign and rare coins. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The building changed ownership several times in St Helena and was notably owned by the Christian Brothers as a winery from 1945 to 1989. It was used as a winery until its sale to the CIA in 1993.

Best kept secret for lunch! 10 sandwiches and salads and free sparkling water on tap in the little cafe. Super friendly service. You can walk around and see the cooking lecture halls and inquire about classes and camps. When students are in session you can also have a meal at the onsite restaurant. So historic and a a great local to pop into some of the large and historic wineries near by.

Choose from 3 or 4 categories. For my entree, I chose the pork tenderloin. Flavor was good, but it was over seared, slightly. Overall, a very good experience.

Do not go there while COVID19 is still around. The school reduced their teaching hours but still charge the same. Also, their COVID19 rules are so strict that it takes so much away from what should be an amazing experience. Very, very dissapointing.

Great food with extensive wine list and selection. Enjoys the bar and the drinks if you need a quick fixed. Don't skip outdoor seating when the weather is on your side.
