Falcon Crest
St. Helena, California
The Miravalle mansion, built by Tiburcio Parrott in 1885, is 140 years old. For almost a century and a half, this remarkable home has been an icon. A beautiful testament of late-19th century architecture, it is perhaps more famously known for its role in the 1980s TV series Falcon Crest. Today, it remains at the heart of every experience at the winery. Parrott began construction on his palatial residence with the help of Albert Schroepfer, architect. Miravalle, meaning "look valley," was designed to have panoramic views of Napa Valley from its fourth-floor tower and cupola. The mansion featured wraparound verandas, a conservatory, and exquisite details like stained glass cupids and Parrott’s initials over the massive front doors.
