- From "The History of the Hayne Vineyard":
In 1848 Captain George Chase and William Bowers Bourn, caught wind of t he Gold Rush. The gentlemen were business partners, well-established in N ew York and not about to let an opportunity pass them by! It was soon d ecided that the Captain would sail to California with a load of wares f or sale. After a 7-1/2 month voyage, around Cape Horn, South America, h e arrived into the San Francisco Bay in 1849 to find the rough and mudd y, soon-to-be city of San Francisco.
Captain Chase quickly realized that California, primitive as it was wit h modern amenities, was poised for greatness – and men of a certain min dset were sure to prosper. In short order, WB made his way out west to S an Francisco, with his new bride Sarah Chase, the Captain’s daughter, a rriving by 1854. The families, now linked by marriage, got to work in t he City by the Bay – the Captain kept sailing and WB Bourn involved him self in a plethora of emerging industries – banking, insurance, gold, s ilver and utilities (to name a few). Several blossomed into lucrative v entures, including ownership of California’s largest hard-rock gold min e (the Empire Mine, Grass Valley, CA) and San Francisco’s water system ( Spring Valley Water Company).
Over the years, the family sought rest and relaxation in the Napa Valle y, visiting some of the original hot spring resorts. Given the serenity a nd beauty of the Valley, it’s easy to understand why WB & Sarah purchas ed our beautiful vineyard property as a weekend and summer spot in 1872 . Just think – our land has been growing grapes for over 150 years! Sub sequently, the youngest of their five children, Maud, married William A lston Hayne and it has been known as the Hayne Vineyard ever since.
In 1888, Funded by the Bourn Family, construction of Greystone Cellars ( now the Culinary Institute of America) begins, establishing the first w inery co-op in Napa Valley.
