Wineries in California: Set in the heart of the Middle Reach of the Russian River Valley, C. Donatiello
Winery is dedicated to the production of this noble region’s finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Chris Donatiello earned his stripes in New York, where he spent years marketing and selling a number of well-known, luxury-brand wines and spirits. Taking his business expertise, combining it with his love of wine and entrepreneurial spirit, he came to the West Coast intent on creating a premium, boutique winery in the Russian River Valley.
C. Donatiello Winery provides a quiet place to get away from it all. Its atmosphere is serene and rural, yet sophisticated. The winery’s commodious, high-ceilinged tasting room has a homey feeling. It is complemented by koi ponds, a cherry orchard, a rose garden with more than 15 kinds of roses, and a sumptuous aroma garden, heady with fresh herbal and fruit scents that mirror the aromas of the wines. Strolling casually through the garden, visitors appreciate smelling and tasting the plants, herbs, and fruits that exemplify the scents found in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. As in the neighboring Maddie’s Vineyard, organic practices are used in the garden. Whether on a formal tour or a leisurely visit, guests are encouraged to pause for a bit and enjoy the stunning views of the Russian River Valley over lunch and a bottle of
C. Donatiello wine.
