About Us
Legacy
The Trentadue family made their way to Sonoma County long before it was known as Wine Country. Evelyn and Leo Trentadue, lifelong farmers, played a big part in shaping the region over the years. In 1959, they left their orchards of apricots and cherries in Sunnyvale, which is now Silicon Valley, to escape growing urban development. Determined to protect their farming heritage, they found a new home in Sonoma County’s peaceful Alexander Valley, purchasing 208 acres of land.

TrusteeVineyard Practices
At Trentadue, our name has become synonymous with estate-farmed wines. For over 55 years, we’ve proudly cultivated our vineyards in Alexander Valley, with some vines dating back to 1886. Our commitment to growing premium wine grapes has always been at the heart of what we do.
Our farming practices reflect a deep respect for both the land and the craft of winemaking. We strike a balance between the traditions passed down by early Italian growers and the advancements of modern viticulture. Sustainability is key to how we farm - we take great care as stewards of our land, using every resource available to produce the best fruit possible while preserving the health of our estate for future generations.
Each bottle of Trentadue wine carries the legacy of our vineyards and the hard work that goes into every season. It’s this dedication that allows us to share a true taste of Alexander Valley with you.
Winemaking Philosophy
We’re proud to have a winemaker like Miro Tcholakov, who has been part of our family for over 25 years. With the 2024 harvest, Miro celebrated his 25th anniversary with us, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his dedication. Over the years, Miro has played a key role in defining Trentadue’s signature style, highlighting the very best of our estate-grown Alexander Valley fruit. His passion and expertise have earned him deep respect within the wine industry, and we’re honored to have him lead our winemaking efforts.
In Miro’s words: “My philosophy is simple: make the best wine possible from the grapes grown on the Trentadue Estate, respecting the unique character of each vintage and variety. Over the years, I’ve learned that winemaking is a lifelong journey. Every season brings its own challenges and opportunities, and the key is to blend experience, intuition, and a bit of luck to create that perfect wine. We combine modern winemaking techniques with time-tested, old-world practices, always aiming to let the grapes speak for themselves.”
Miro’s approach isn’t just about making great wine—it’s also about sharing it. “I’m passionate about making wine approachable for everyone. At Trentadue, we believe wine should be part of everyday life, something that enhances meals, moments, and memories. Our winery is a special place where family, tradition, and terroir come together, creating an experience our visitors and loyal fans cherish.”
