there's a delightful winery, Castello d'Amorosa, in Napa Valley built on the model of a Tuscan villa - they didn't ship a whole actual villa just a shit ton of discarded bricks, but yeah. 107 rooms including a torture chamber, and they hired two artists to paint frescoes from the town hall in Siena, Italy on the walls, and the artists were brothers, and one of them fucked off without finishing the job - so his brother did it, but painted over his signature and replaced it.
It's a delightful fucking place to visit and if you like sweet wine they got you. (It literally exists because a guy who was fourth-generation Napa vintner was like "oh me what shall I do with my free time and money, I know, I NEED A CASTLE")
