About Guigni’s Deli

Giugni’s Deli is an iconic, old-school sandwich shop that has been a St. Helena staple for decades. Inside, the walls are covered with local memorabilia, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that feels miles away from polished tasting rooms. Every sandwich is made to order with premium ingredients, though the real star is the Giugni Juice, a signature herb-infused dressing. It is the ultimate destination for a casual, high-quality lunch in the heart of wine country.
