The Winery
The winery, located in the beautiful rolling Sierra Nevada Foothills just east of Oroville, has breathtaking views of the Northern Sacramento Valley. All tasting is by appointment only, so call ahead.
The Vineyards
After buying grapes to make his wine for many years, Gary Quilici planted his first vineyards on the ten acre estate in 1998. The vineyard consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, Sangiovese and Barbera grapes.
The Wines
None of the Quilici Vineyard wines are fined or filtered. The winery is particularly proud of its Sangiovese, which is light in body with great fruit and some lovely smokiness from oak aging.
The Winemaker
Gary Quilici, the winemaker, was a successful restaurateur for 30 years who had a passion for winemaking. He began making wine as a hobby over 20 years ago and began making them commercially in 2001.
