Situated in Santa Clara Valley, one of the finest wine growing regions of Northern California, our wines are 95% Estate grown on our Gilroy and San Martin vineyards; In Gilroy, our 80 year-old Carignan's roots descend over 40 feet down into the rocky, sandy soil...dry-farmed, with no trellis to support them, they represent the history and effort man and nature put into our fine wines.

With siblings Gino and Teri Fortino knowledge and vibrant personalities managing the winery, along with your free wine tasting (hours open), you may have one of them as your convivial host.

And be sure to check out Fortino Events to see our schedule of fun parties that run the gamut from a "Girls Night Out" to Private Tastings for our Wine Club Members. Gino (above on left) and Teri's husband Craig are fantastic cooks, so you're going to learn about food and wine pairings the fun way!

Upon visiting our Weddings page you'll see how a picture is worth a thousand words, and have no doubt that this beautiful setting would enhance any event.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
