In 2007, the Del Dotto family saw the culmination of a 15-year-long dream in the completion of their new Venetian Estate Winery and Caves. Built in honor of the family’s roots, traced back to 1150 Venice, the caves are lined with Italian marble and ancient tiles depicting the history of wine. Upon planning the massive cathedral-like structure, the family spent a lot of time contemplating the life and times of their ancient Italian relatives. The Venetians’ eye for details in architecture, with layered design upon layered design, truly reflected a desire to live in a beautiful world. Using natural marble handcrafted into ornate, graceful patterns, the building is its own form of art; expressing an uplifted spirit, air of grandeur, and feeling of well-being.
Come and experience the effects of fine wine, spectacular architecture, moving music, and delicious food merging into a truly joyous wine experience!

Estate Tour & Barrel Tasting Experience: $60 per person
Come and experience wines that are thieved right out of the barrel in our sumptuously appointed Venetian Cave. Taste the difference between wines produced in oak barrels from the great forests of the world: a common example is a side-by-side comparison of a single vineyard cabernet aged in French oak tasted alongside that same cabernet aged in American oak. With up to 45 different wines for your host to choose from, you are sure to get a customized experience on each visit. Voted #1 tasting experience by world wine critics!
This experience includes a tasting of approximately eight wines thieved right out of the barrel. After you exit the caves, you will be offered a selection of cheese & house-made salumi, cured by our resident chef, Joshua Schwartz. Port accompanied by dark chocolate will complete the tasting. Please allow 90 minutes to complete the experience. Pizza is served Friday - Sunday.
