🍷✨ Discover the magic of DaVero Farms & Winery at Festa Italia! ✨🍷

In 1999, Ridge was enjoying a dinner at an Italian restaurant in New York when a glass of 1994 Paolo Bea Sagrantino di Montefalco changed the course of DaVero’s journey forever. Inspired by this moment, the first Mediterranean varietal vines were planted in their vineyard, leading to a philosophy of natural, artful winemaking.

Today, DaVero Farms & Winery’s vineyards thrive with wild, diverse undergrowth that nurtures the soil and the wines. Embracing native yeasts and neutral oak barrels, their wines capture the true essence of each grape, vineyard, and vintage.

Come savor these unique wines at Festa Italia’s grand tasting event in Healdsburg on August 18th!

🎟️ VIP Pass: Exclusive VIP Tasting Panel from 11am-12pm and early entry from 12-12:30pm.
