Bertaga Son Kissed Vineyards

Rooted in a legacy spanning four generations, the Bertagna family, situated in Chico, California, has dedicated itself to the craft of winemaking. We take pride in producing both traditional and non-traditional Italian wines of exceptional quality. Our journey began in 2001 when Berton and Carol decided to plant a vineyard right in their front yard, nurturing the vines with their two young sons by their side. Their passion for winemaking soon caught the interest of family and friends, who encouraged them to share their creations with the wider community.

By 2007, we embarked on the next stage of our winemaking adventure by establishing our very first winery. This milestone marked the beginning of our growth as we continued to refine our winemaking process and expand our reach. Our latest development includes the introduction of a new tasting room, inviting visitors to experience our offerings in a welcoming setting. Almendra Winery & Distillery stands as a testament to our commitment, where guests come together with loved ones to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
