The Fortino Winery was established back in the year 1970 after Marie and Ernest Fortino bought a vineyard that had already been growing grapes since the beginning of the 1930’s. Ernest Fortino was drawn to purchasing the vineyard due to the surrounding land being very reminiscent of Calabria, Italy, his hometown. Knowledgeable hosts in the Tasting Room guide visitors through a tasting of the winery’s handcrafted, award-winning wines, or guests can choose to simply buy a bottle of their favorite wines. It’s also likely that visitors may run into one of the members of the Fortino family.
