A Legacy in the Making

Now celebrating our 15th anniversary in 2025, Domaine Della is a family owned artisan luxury, limited-production, small lot and highly allocated winery—selling out annually with a growing waitlist. Our mission is both simple and ambitious: to craft adventurous, expressive wines from California’s most legendary vineyards, including the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Santa Lucia Highlands. Our wines consistently earn 95–99 point scores from leading wine critics, resonating with a sophisticated audience of luxury wine consumers. And while our footprint has grown, our values remain unchanged—we continue to hand-craft every wine with uncompromising dedication to quality and authenticity.

A Life in Wine

My passion for wine began early, working as a waiter, sommelier, and chef to fund my education, and deepened during my twenties while living in Paris and working for Nabisco. Since then, I’ve explored nearly every major wine region in the world, gaining a global perspective on the profound intersection of wine, food, and culture. Domaine Della is the culmination of more than 40 years of global experience, leadership at two of California’s most respected wineries, and an insatiable drive to craft wines of remarkable depth, elegance, and soul. It is a tribute to legacy, to artistry, and to the enduring spirit of winemaking. Domaine Della is the culmination of more than 40 years immersed in wine—as a sommelier, chef, global traveler, and executive leader at two of California’s most respected wineries.
