Former Consultant to Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein Lists Napa Valley Villa and Vineyards for $22 Million

A Napa Valley property with a luxury villa and Cabernet vineyards spanning over 130 acres was listed for $22 million. The property is owned by Clint Reilly, a San Francisco-based political consultant who advised the campaigns of U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, both California Democrats. 

The Napa Valley estate built in 1988 was designed by England-based architect David Connor for Thomas Lundstrom, the grandson of a Swedish businessman who started the country’s crisp bread, or “Wasa Bread,” and heir to his fortune. 

The property includes a six-bedroom home, pool and guest tower, according to the listing by Arthur Goodrich and Federico Parlagreco of Sotheby’s International Realty, and has hosted notable guests such as the Dalai Lama. 

The home includes “expansive views of the Napa Valley,” according to the listing. Its eight-acre vineyard produces about 500 cases of Cabernet a year, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Reilly family used the home as a vacation getaway and for business retreats, members told The Journal.

Clint Reilly is a self-proclaimed “pioneer of modern campaign methodology,” being the first to use computer technology to market political candidates to certain voters based on their shared interests, according to his website. He helped launched the careers of Pelosi, Feinstein and former Democratic U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer.

Reilly eventually left political consulting to start The Clint Reilly Organization, which includes commercial real estate, media, hospitality and nonprofit businesses, according to its website.
