our communityFor over 40 years, we’ve enjoyed being part of the St. Helena community. Our family moved here in 1972 when the town was still a sleepy, agricultural community. Main Street boasted four auto parts stores. There was no fine dining, no historic museums or tasting rooms; nor was there much traffic! We attended St. Helena public schools and rode our bikes all over town. Over the years, we have witnessed St. Helena’s amazing growth from a small, rural town to a vibrant, cultural destination. Through it all, we’ve fallen in love with this community and enjoy contributing to its success. To this end, Spottswoode funds and supports numerous organizations particularly those that benefit the children of St. Helena and the environment. Below are a few of the organizations that we enthusiastically endorse and encourage others to support.

“This agricultural community seems to foster the close personal and professional relationships I feel fortunate to have developed during my many years of living in Napa Valley. We truly work together and help one another, and I believe this valley is unique in this regard.”
