Silverado Winery
In 1976, Lillian Disney, widow of Walt Disney, with Diane and Ron, purchased two vineyards in the Napa Valley. Their intention was to upgrade the property, replant to premium varietals, install new trellising and frost protection, but not to build or run a winery. Their vineyards were producing top-quality fruit and award-winning wines year after year for other wineries. So construction of the Silverado Vineyards Winery began in 1980. Architect Dick Keith designed the old California mission-style structure, which is often mistaken for an actual restoration.
During the last twenty years, Miller has spent most of his time building the reputation of his Silverado Winery, and has only spoken openly about Diane's work regarding Walt's legacy.
