Who We Are

Italian culture is the embodiment of all that nourishes the heart and soul… wine and food, friends and family, and experiences that capture beauty, passion and love. Our wines are an expression of Italy, a connection born from the roots of our heritage, planted in Sonoma County soil, and bottled for your enjoyment so that you might experience a bit of Italy all your own.

About Us

About the Family

At Orsi Family Vineyards, everything we do is rooted in family, tradition, and a love for all things Italian. Inspired by the beauty of Sonoma County and the charm of Italy, the Orsi family set out to create more than just a winery—we’ve created a place where everyone feels like family. From Bernie Orsi’s dream of bringing a slice of Italy to California, to the next generation embracing and growing that vision, our wines and experiences reflect our warm, welcoming spirit.

Our History

Our story began in 1990 when Bernie Orsi purchased a little slice of paradise on Mill Creek Road. It wasn’t just any land—it was a cattle ranch people said couldn’t grow grapes. But Bernie had a vision and found the perfect rootstock to make it happen. Fast forward a few years (and a family trip to Italy!), and we started planting rare Italian varietals like Biancolella, Negroamaro, and Montepulciano. Today, Orsi Family Vineyards is a place where the richness of our Italian heritage meets the laid-back charm of Sonoma County.

Our Vineyards

Our vineyards stretch across ten picturesque properties in Sonoma and Mendocino counties, each chosen for its unique personality and terroir. From the rolling hills of Dry Creek to the sprawling vineyards of Hopland, every vine is nurtured with care and intention. While we started with classics like Cabernet and Chardonnay, our heart is in our Italian roots. Rare gems like Sangiovese, Barbera, and Negroamaro thrive here, bringing a little taste of Italy to every bottle.

The Winery

When you step into Orsi Family Vineyards, you step into a slice of Italy. Surrounded by cypress trees, olive groves, and Mediterranean-inspired landscapes, our tasting room is the perfect spot to sip, savor, and soak in the good life. Whether you’re enjoying a tasting flight, indulging in one of our signature Italian Picnics, or simply relaxing with friends, our winery is designed to make you feel at home. It’s not just about the wine—it’s about creating moments to share, laugh, and enjoy the flavors of Italy right here in Sonoma County.
