It all began in Monterosso, Italy, outside of Genoa, where a good day’s work for Vittorio Sangiacomo started and ended in the field. He voyaged to America in 1913 and got his first job at age 17 in the vegetable fields at Bay Farm Island in Alameda County, California. Vittorio Sangiacomo longed to return to working the land, and in 1927, he purchased a 55-acre fruit tree ranch in Sonoma Valley – today that is called the Home Ranch at Sangiacomo Family Vineyards.
As third-generation farmers in Sonoma, the Sangiacomo family grew up on the ranch learning stewardship and sustainability. Their first grapevines were planted in 1969, and for fifty-five years, they have continued to honor their family’s tradition of growing premium grapes from their estate vineyards in Carneros, Napa, and along the Sonoma Coast.
We invite you to join owner and viticulturist Steve Sangiacomo and our winemaker Michael Muscardini as they take you on a guided tour through the beautiful Sangiacomo estate and discuss the ins and outs of the grape’s journey from vine to barrel to bottle. Guests will enjoy tastings of Sangiacomo Family Wines and Muscardini Cellars wines sourced from Sangiacomo Vineyards throughout the experience. Following the tour, guests will enjoy a vertical tasting of Muscardini Cellars 2015, 2016, and 2021 Merlots, all produced from Sangiacomo Vineyards, accompanied by wood-fired cuisine from Chef Bryan Jones of Bryan Jones Catering. Chef Bryan Jones will prepare a farm-to-table lunch baked onsite in his Mugnaini wood-fired brick oven. Each dish is fired using local almond wood and always crafted with fresh, local ingredients.
This exclusive vineyard tour and elevated tasting experience offer guests the opportunity to visit one of the most iconic vineyards in Sonoma Valley with two legendary Italian vintners. We invite you to embrace an unforgettable day of vineyard elegance, culinary mastery, and fine wines from two highly acclaimed wine producers.
