The Winery
We’re an urban San Diego winery crafting unique sparkling and original wines from local vineyards.
So, what does that mean?
Urban
We’re a fully functioning winery – just located in the city instead of the country.
Craft
We’re small, independent, innovative, and care about everything we make.
Unique
Each of our wines reflect the individuality of their origin – and are unlike any other.
Sparkling
In addition to still wines, we make a lot of bubbles that are delicious and untraditional.
Original
Both creative and true to the source. Nothing added, nothing taken away.
Local
We source from vineyards in San Diego County – the oldest and newest wine region in California.
The People
Charlie
Charlie has traveled the world.
Bargained in exotic bazaars.
Been inked by an octopus.
Stared down machine gun yielding militias.
Eaten boa constrictor.
She's the most interesting woman in the world.
Clara Van Drunen
Funny part is, that's all true.
Echo
Echo is a physics grad school drop out.
He used to study charmonium.
He used to be smart.
Now he makes wine.
Eric Van Drunen
Again, that's all true. Just not nearly as interesting.
BTW, if you were looking for Vinavanti winery, that was us.
We’ve changed our name and location, and focus a little more on sparkling.
