Years Experience
Experienced in providing the best quality wines
We are open for tastings by reservation on our shaded patio, and also inside, in our air conditioned tasting room. Our tastings consist of your choice of 6 one ounce pours from our white, red, sparkling and dessert menus. Our knowledgeable and friendly wine educators will guide you through our extensive menu to help you get the most out of your experience. Come enjoy some of the most unusual wines this side of Italy including some that we got recognized by the TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) in the US.
A Good Wine Ready to Serve to Your Table
Our production is on-site. We bottle all of our own wine including our sparkling! We own an olive mill so we mill our olives on-site for Estate olive oil. We also cure our own olives.
Enjoy unique Italian varietals. We guarantee there is something on our menu that is new and refreshing for you!
