Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 85 reviews
Built in 1846, this water-powered mill served Napa Valley's farmers who brought their wheat grain and dried corn to the mill to be ground into flour and meal. Bale Grist Mill has one of the largest waterwheels in the country and still mills grain the old-fashioned way! Visitors can take home organic wheat flour, cornmeal or polenta. Come enjoy what was once a vital part of rural life!

For a small fee you get a wonderful tour and presentation of how the pioneers of California supplemented their meals with baked goods. the presentation includes the history and workings of the mill and a live demonstration of the milling process. Be sure to stay on the path from the parking lot to the mill because the surrounding woods are full of poison oak. Not to worry, just keep on the straight and narrow. Before you leave, pick up a bag of souvenir flour ground on site, take it home and back some bread or a pie you will be amazed at the flavor and freshness. I obtained some to bake a pie with local Gravenstein apples, what a treat!

It was an amazing effort to build a 100% authentic (style) Italian castle in the Napa Valley, and the castello looks amazing. We were expecting the wine to be mediocre, but it was extremely good as well -- we ended up ordering a case, and impressed some friends with the first bottle of pinot gris last week :)
