Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, Sonoma, California
The sole remaining unaltered work of John Bergstrom & Sons, Opus 66, built in 1897 for the First Congregational Church of Sonoma, California, has been renovated and installed at the Jacuzzi Family Vineyards in Sonoma by Schoenstein & Co. When the music program of the church changed, Fred and Nancy Cline, owners of the winery, stepped forward to save the organ. Nancy Cline has a special interest in the preservation of California history. For example, the property includes an educational museum with models of all twenty-one California missions originally made for the 1939 World’s Fair. The extensive and opulent visitors’ center is designed in the style of an Italian villa. Its main feature is the Barrel Room, a space in Roman Basilica-style complete with apse and accommodating 250 guests, an ideal setting for banquets, weddings, or concerts.
