In Search of Wine, Food, and Other Delights
If you book a tour, it is likely to follow the same format as ours did. Ray and Lori were both present, with one driving the truck and the other acting as guide on the flatbed. Call far ahead to get booked and find out the details. You are not going to get a better tour of a vineyard anywhere else in Dry Creek, or for that matter in Sonoma County.
The United States – Land of Opportunity…
Alberto Del Carlo purchased a small farm in the heart of the Dry Creek Valley in 1907 after arriving here from Lucca, Italy. In 1947 Michele and Lucille Del Carlo Teldeschi purchased the ranch but their connection to the Valley goes back to 1929 when 13-year old Michele came to California from his home in Casabaciana, Italy. Michele’s father and grandfather had both worked in the local wine industry (remember our history of the Italian Swiss Colony and the many Italian families who established vineyards in Healdsburg, Asti and Cloverdale) and saved enough cash to send for the family.
