The company offers a portfolio of premium wines from a selection of the most desirable vineyards from notable California wine-growing regions. The winery harvests grapes from Napa, Lodi, Monterey and Sonoma to craft wines that express the diversity of these appellations. The Indelicato family has always understood that wine quality starts in the vineyard, and a vineyard is first and foremost a living thing. They always strive to farm with the health of the environment in mind, while still providing quality wines, mindfully farmed and vinified, for their customers.

Delicato Family Vineyards History

Their founder, Gaspare Indelicato came to America more than a century ago and planted a vineyard in Manteca, California. It reminded him of Sicily where his family had grown wine grapes for generations in Italy. With his three sons, he established a vineyard and winery while simultaneously building a solid reputation for making quality wines. Gaspare passed along a tireless work ethic and dedication to excellence to his sons, the second generation. They expanded the winery and purchased prime vineyard land, further rooting the family’s legacy in California wine.

Delicato Family Vineyards History

Today, third generation family members run the company with the fourth generation in training to join their parents, aunts and uncles within the next few years.

Vineyards Are the Heartbeat Of Quality

Gaspare Indelicato planted his first vineyard on the family’s Manteca ranch nearly a century ago. He believed that farming his own grapes would give him the best chance at controlling the quality of his wines. Following that wisdom, they actively pursue great vineyards as the vital link to superior quality from the vine to the bottle. Today, 4,200 acres of thoughtfully farmed vineyards in diverse locations provide a unique quality advantage, allowing us to over-deliver and exceed expectations with every sip.
