Domenico Winery

Domenico Winery We take the finest grapes of California, add passion, and blend with family tradition.
(924)

Dominick and Gloria Chirichillo’s choice of name for their winery is a reflection of their commitment to their Italian heritage and the tradition of family winemaking. In 1955 in New York, Dominick who is called Domenico in Italian was introduced to these traditions by his Nonno (grandfather), Domenico Giovinazzo. In the basement of their home was a wine press that Nonno showed Dominick; passing d

own from one generation to another the love of handcrafting wine. Dominick’s passion for winemaking took him from amateur competitions, while he lived on the East Coast, to commercial status after moving to Northern California. Moving to California has enabled Dominick to choose his grapes hands-on from selected vineyards in Napa Valley, Sonoma’s Central Coast, Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, Amador County and the Lodi District. Not to mention he is a member of the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association, where he sources Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. As of fall 2010, the wines of Domenico have won 300 Medals for wines produced from these various regions! Prior to opening Domenico Winery, Dominick and Gloria’s passion for the wine business was shared with others on both the East and West Coasts through Bacchus Winemaking Club. This membership club enabled many more people to create their own wines with custom labels. Over 200,000 cases of wine have been created by amateur winemakers on both the East and West Coasts through the years.

Four years ago, Vanessa and Jeremy had their first dance painted while it happened.

Guests kept wandering over all night to watch the barrel room and the two of them slowly show up in oil.

Still one of our favorite details from a wedding here.

Every August, we open up our cellar and hand people something most winery events never do: a decision. You'll taste through 20+ wines from our current lineup, work your way through chef-prepared bites and charcuterie, and talk grapes with Bacchus Club members who've done this before you. Then you pick. Amador, Lodi, and Tracy Hills fruit if you want that foothill character. Santa Cruz Mountains if you're after something cooler climate. Napa Valley Cabernet if you want to go big. Quarter barrel, half barrel, or full, whatever fits your crew and your patience for waiting on a good vintage.

We handle the crush, the aging, the bottling. You get two chances to come back and barrel taste your own wine while it's coming together. And if you're already a Bacchus Wine Club member, we'll refund up to two tickets when you book.

Sunday, August 16th, 1 to 4pm, right here in San Carlos. Bring your people. Link in bio for tickets.
