About the Winery
Del Dotto Vineyards, founded in 1989 on its Rutherford Estate, is renowned for its rich, luscious wines and innovative approach to winemaking. With seven meticulously chosen vineyard sites across Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast, Del Dotto crafts exceptional varietals.
The winery is celebrated for its unique barrel tasting experiences, where guests can explore how French and American oak barrels enhance the flavors of their wines while preserving the distinct characteristics of each vineyard. Del Dotto's commitment to quality and creativity is evident in their single-barrel, single-vineyard bottlings, and rare, limited-production wines often referred to as "liquid art."
Certified as a California Sustainable Winegrower, Del Dotto employs organic farming principles, including hand-weeding and the use of resident sheep, to maintain the highest standards of environmental stewardship. With decades of dedication, Del Dotto continues to produce world-class wines that define the excellence of Napa Valley.
Special Guests
Desiree Del Dotto | Chief Operating Officer, Marketing Director,
Co-Owner, and Second-Generation Vintner - Del Dotto Vineyards
Desiree Del Dotto is Chief Operating Officer, Marketing Director, Co-Owner, and Second-Generation Vintner at Del Dotto Family Wineries & Caves in Napa Valley, California, where she has played an instrumental role in bringing her family's vision to fruition for the duration of her career.
In her role as COO and Marketing Director, Desiree oversees operations that produce around 20,000 cases of wine per year from the family's estate vineyards that include 67 planted acres of vines in iconic Napa AVAs, including Oakville, St. Helena, Rutherford, Howell Mountain, and Pritchard Hill; Del Dotto also holds 41 acres of planted vines in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA on the rugged Sonoma Coast. An increasing rarity in the Napa Valley, Del Dotto is family-owned, and operated, and celebrated their 30th vintage of winemaking in 2024.
Desirée spent her childhood years in Kona, Hawaii, moving with her family back to the mainland in 1988 after her parents purchased the original Rutherford Estate property that would become the base for their wine-growing operation. In 1999, while still a student at St. Helena High School, Desiree began her first job at the winery in the administrative offices. Over the course of the next 27 years, Desiree invested her time and energy into all aspects of the operation, exhibiting her inherited entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to the family business.
