Salvestrin Winery is an iconic, family-owned Napa Valley estate celebrated for its historic legacy and handcrafted wines. For the first harvest of the season, Salvestrin partnered with Digital Love to create a comprehensive photo and video production that captured the energy, tradition, and craft behind one of the most important moments of the year.
Set in the heart of Napa Valley, this large-scale hybrid shoot brought together Napa Valley photography, winery photography, and Napa Valley aerial photography to tell a grounded, cinematic story of land, people, and process - honoring heritage while presenting the winery through a fresh visual lens.
Harvest-focused winery production encompassing lifestyle photography, aerial/drone coverage, one hero harvest film, and short-form video content documenting the harvest season.
Salvestrin’s goal was to visually narrate the harvest in a way that felt authentic, elevated, and true to the family’s winemaking philosophy. The content needed to highlight both the hands-on farming techniques and the beauty of the estate - inviting viewers into the harvest experience itself. The winery also wanted to build a foundation of photo and video assets for their brand to use across web, social and digital marketing. This shoot helped launch the development of a new website and digital presence for the Napa Valley vineyard.
Digital Love worked closely with the Salvestrin team to concept a clear visual approach and shot list centered on harvest rhythms, vineyard work, and estate details. Creative planning focused on balancing documentary-style moments with refined lifestyle imagery, while aerial perspectives showcased the scale and setting of the property.
Over multiple shoot days, our team documented Salvestrin's first harvest of the season from vineyard to cellar capturing key moments, team interactions, and seasonal details as they unfolded. Aerial footage added context and sense of place, while lifestyle photography and video emphasized craftsmanship, environment, and atmosphere.
This project translated Salvestrin Winery’s legacy into a modern visual story capturing the heart of harvest season while honoring generations of winemaking. Through thoughtful planning and cinematic execution, Digital Love delivered a visual system rooted in authenticity, place, and craft.
