Seghesio Family Vineyards - Wonderful Service and Wines to Match
Have you ever been somewhere that you are just so moved by the customer service and genuine care that you just can't stop talking about it? That's how we were after several visits to Seghesio Family Vineyards. Every time we left we couldn't stop talking about what a great experience it was! Warm, authentic, gracious, fun, informative and scrumptious - these are the words I use to describe this longtime, Sonoma wine growing, Family Winery.
The Seghesio family name began with Edoardo Seghesio (a transplant from Piedmont, Italy) and his wife Angela, back in 1895 when they planted their first Zinfandel vineyard on some of the current 400 acres in Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valley's - now cultivated by the fourth generation winemakers of the Seghesio family.
There story is rich in both local and family history and beckons back to time when rolling up your shirt sleeves and jumping in with your whole heart, was the only way to make one's dream reality. And from what I see, this ethic is still the operating philosophy behind the modern day Seghesio Family Vineyard. It is a strong and devoted family at it's core (most of them still work at the winery) yet they have this wonderful ability to create an extended family, to such a degree that it is hard to know the difference, in both their staff and the visitors who walk through their doors.
Seghesio is best known for their award winning Zinfandels, but they are most uniquely known for the many Italian varietals that have grown inseparable form the Seghesio name such as their Chianti field blend of Sangiovese, Canielao Nero, Trebbiano and Malvasia.
A wonderful addition to the traditional 'tasting room' experience is to join in on their 'Family Tables' offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. This offers one the opportunity to try their most limited wines with some of Angela's (the Family's Matriarch) old world recipes. A perfect match where family, food, wine & friends come together in one happy grand finale'.
