Established in 1998, our vineyards cover a gentle slope facing the Pacific Coast
Trail in San Diego North County.  Our name, La Serenissima, pays homage to the
Most Serene Republic of Venice, for centuries the cultural center of the
Mediterranean, where the tradition of wine making flourished, giving civilization
the precious gift of wine.

Our 25 acre vineyard is divided into six separate hectare blocks each dedicated to
a varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Tempranillo and
Arneis.  Annual production is limited to 1000 cases.
