Lorenzi Estate Wines

Lorenzi Estate Wines is a family-owned winery located in Temecula, California, within the Cucamonga Valley AVA. The estate was founded by Don Lorenzi, who inherited 20 Zinfandel vines cloned from the original 100-year-old vines planted by his Italian ancestors in the early 1900s. With a passion for winemaking, Don began crafting small batches of wine using grapes sourced from local vineyards and eventually expanded to grow his own fruit on the estate's 16-acre property. The winery is known for its handcrafted artisan wines, with a focus on varietals such as Zinfandel, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petite Sirah. Don Lorenzi's approach to winemaking emphasizes a simple, hands-on philosophy: studying the wines he loves, sourcing or growing the necessary fruit, and shepherding each wine from grape to bottle. Visitors can experience the estate through guided vineyard tours and tastings, which offer a glimpse into the family's story and the winemaking process. The tasting room is overseen by Brenda Lorenzi, Don's wife, who manages operations and wine club management alongside their daughter Michelle, an expert in marketing and social media. The team has expanded to include a full-time assistant winemaker and knowledgeable wine experts in the tasting room. With its rustic charm and stunning views of the vineyards, Lorenzi Estate Wines invites guests to immerse themselves in the world of small-lot, handcrafted wines crafted with love and dedication by the Lorenzi family.
