Forenzo Vineyards first began many years ago when the Ford and DiCenzo families met at a small, undiscovered, winery along the Russian River in Redwood Valley. We were drawn together immediately upon meeting by our mutual desire to find unique and exceptional wines to take back to our families. After several years of sharing the love for the wines of California, we all decided to bring the DiCenzo
and Ford families together to make our dreams of producing fine wines in Northern California a reality. Purchasing a small organic estate vineyard we started out on the path of understanding what we wanted our wines to stand for and what feelings others should have when they tried our wines. We wanted each experience to be the same as it was for the DiCenzo and Ford families when we met at that small undiscovered winery many years ago. Not without some past experience in the wine business, the Ford Family has been growing grapes for over 30 years in northern California and will have overall responsibility for the grape growing experience. The DiCenzo Family with deep Italian wine making roots, will be overseeing the wine making and production of the Forenzo wines. Once we made the decision to follow our lifelong dream, we wanted to make sure that we held true to our goal of making this endeavor a true family experience. As you can see from our logo, we bring to you “Due Famiglie Insieme” ( Two Families Together) with the objective of bringing you a true family owned and operated vineyard that produces enjoyable wines. We believe that together we bring a passion for grape growing and wine making that will strengthen our products for years to come.
