Fontanella Family Winery

Fontanella Family Winery was a dream in the making since the day Jeff Fontanella, owner and winemaker originally studied Bio Chemistry at the University of California at Davis but enrolled in the college’s wine making program after he became interested in viticulture and enology. After graduating he worked for several premium Napa Valley based wineries including his first harvest at Opus One in 1998 and ZD.

Fontanella Family Winery was started in November 2, 2005, when Jeff and his wife Karen purchased the 26 acre property on Partrick Road and began the development of the winery, the brand, and the Fontanella Family. In October of 2007, they broke ground on the construction of the facility just one month after their second son, Andrew, was born. Fontanella opened their tasting room (by appointment) in October 2008. Total production each year is around 3,500 cases.
