The Wente family is one the wine world's royal family - in the same manner as the Creed family is well known for it perfumes and the Ferragamo family is well known for their high-end fashion staples.
The art of winemaking has been passed through five genereations of the Wente family. Throughout the years, it has expanded and gained success - enough to maintain and own thousands of acres of vineyards, wineries, restaurants, tasting rooms, tours, and even including an 18-hole championship golf course.
