Driven to live life like there's no tomorrow

Driven by the love of family and friends

It began in 1993, when Rudy Chinco purchased 41 rolling acres in California's Shenandoah Valley. The region is noted for its intense, rich Zinfandels and other zesty reds. Rudy, his son Chris and daughter Cathy worked side by side, planting their vineyards and laying plans for the winery, which opened 10 years later. Antique cars and tractors seemed to make their way to the winery and the family decided to build a home for the collection and create a destination for others who share their enthusiasm for wine and vintage cars.
