The winery's handsome hand-cut stone façade, with its graceful arched windows, is crafted entirely from lava stone and has walls that are two feet thick. All three stories of the building were designed for wine production resulting in a 275,000-gallon capacity (115,500 cases). The facility was efficiently designed and used gravity to aid in production. The third or top floor was used for crushing. From there the juice was gravity fed to the second floor for settling and fermentation, and finally to the bottom floor for barrel storage and aging. However, this was not always the case.

In 1932, Gaetano Regusci purchased the historic piece of property and started producing his own estate wines. As was typical in the Napa Valley in the early days, however, a farmer could not make a living growing only grapes. So, to supplement their income, the family also farmed corn, hay, prunes, and walnuts, and also raised cattle and hogs. Eventually, Gaetano's son Angelo took over the facility and continued the family tradition of farming and winemaking.

With the growing prominence of the Napa Valley as a premier wine-growing region, the family was eventually able to focus its farming on a single crop - wine grapes. In 1995, Angelo's son Jim, decided to reestablish a winery on the property and in 1996 Angelo and Jim crushed their first vintage of Stags Leap District wines. Regusci Winery opened its doors in June of 1998 showcasing its estate wines - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay. Regusci Winery is open, by appointment only, for tours and tastings.
