Mike Vanni, of Solis Winery, clips a bunch of cabernet sauvignon grapes, doing what's called "dropping the fruit," to take weight off of the vine and give room for the fully matured red grapes to grow, allowing for a rich, complex and full wine.

An operating winery since 1917, the land and microclimate is ideal for wine grape production. Solis Winery (previously Bertero Winery) was established by Dave Vanni in 1989 and is now operated by brothers, Michael and Vic Vanni.

The art of winemaking is part of the Vanni family tradition.  They carefully combine Old World techniques with the latest in modern technology to produce meticulously crafted, award-winning wines.  They take pride in the fact that our wines are hand-produced from the land to the bottle. Varieties include Chardonnay, Fiano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah.
