✓
Shari and GarenShari and Garen Staglin — who purchased the Bella Oaks Lane Rutherford Bench property in 1985 and have farmed it organically ever since — have made the Staglin estate the center of one of California wine's most meaningful philanthropic missions: the annual Music Festival for Brain Health, held in the estate's Rutherford Bench vineyard each fall, has raised over $150 million for mental health research since 1995 and has become the most influential and best-attended charity wine event in the Napa Valley.
✓
The personal connectionThe personal connection between the Staglins' philanthropic mission and their estate wine program is direct: their son Brandon was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1990, and the family's response — transforming their Rutherford Bench wine estate into a platform for mental health research funding — has produced both a profound personal legacy and one of the Napa Valley's most consequential charitable impacts.
