Trinchero Winery is one of several Trinchero family Napa Valley owned wineries which include the famous Sutter Home brand (original founders of White Zinfandel), and Napa Cellars in Oakville (also associated with the production of Folie a Deux Wines). There is a 5th generation of Trinchero’s but as of now, they are still to young to be working in the business. It is still very much a family owned and operated business with family members actively working in the company. That changed some when some of the second generation took over and they started producing single vineyard wines. In the early years the Trinchero’s focused on larger production wines. They also own several non wine brands which focus on rum, vodka and tequila.īrothers John and Mario Trinchero came to the Napa Valley in 1947 they invested all their economic resources into purchasing an abandoned winery located just south of, called it Sutter Home Winery and grew the production over time with their first vintage coming in 1948. Most of the brands that Trinchero Family Estate owns are not open to the public and do not have tasting rooms. It has been an impressive ride – and today there are more than 50 unique wine labels under the Trinchero Family Estates collection (some quite well known including Joel Gott Wines and Newman’s Own). The company has grown so they are now one of the largest independently owned family wineries in the USA. In addition, the family owns another approximately 700 acres from California’s Central Coast to north of the Napa Valley. They own more then 200 acres just in the Napa Valley. They own and manage six primary vineyards in Napa Valley (ranging from Calistoga in the north to the southern part of the valley – spanning both valley floor and hillside properties). This winery showcases the Trinchero’s flagship and premium more limited production wines from their family owned vineyards in the Napa Valley. The winery is located on 22-acres, on site of the old Folie a Deux Winery, a few minutes drive north of the town of St. Trinchero Napa Valley – the “ch” is pronounced like a “k” as the Trincheros are Italian, not Spanish or Portuguese.
