From a small Piedmont village to a thriving Yountville landmark, discover the story of a family whose courage, sacrifice, and stewardship helped shape the Napa Valley we know today.
In 1924, John and Lucy left Agliè, Italy, in search of opportunity and a better life. In 1926, they partnered with family to purchase a 20-acre farm in Yountville, beginning a legacy that still lives on at Bardessono today.
For 100 years, this land has been shaped by hard work, resilience, and a deep commitment to Yountville. What began as a working family farm has evolved into Bardessono, a modern luxury retreat grounded in the same values that have guided the property for generations.
John and Lucy leave Agliè, Piedmont, seeking greater opportunity abroad and beginning a new life in North America.
Following John’s passing, Lucy and her children continue farming the land and protecting the family home.
Peter, Lucy, Mary, and Steve pool resources to buy Martin’s share, ensuring the property remains in the family.
Family members balance farming with outside work and civic service, sustaining the property through decades of change.
With Yountville evolving, the family begins a long planning process to transform part of the property into a small inn while preserving open space and community value.
Today, Bardessono welcomes guests from around the world on land first established by the family in 1926, carrying the estate’s legacy into a new century.
For generations, the Bardessono family made choices that protected this land and kept it connected to Yountville. Through hardship, change, and opportunity, they chose stewardship over convenience and built a legacy that continues to define the property today.
“We kept the property for three reasons: to contribute positively to the change taking place, to leave something behind, and to keep it in the family.”
Join us in honoring 100 years of the Bardessono Estate through special stories, seasonal moments, and experiences rooted in Yountville.
