The Family

TreViti is Italian for "three vines" and was chosen for several reasons. Proud of family's Italian descent, an Italian name seemed only fitting. The three vines represent their three children; Justin, Maria, and Breanna. The name also reflects the current three varietals grown on the property; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah.

In 2002, Don and Charalene Stolo purchased 53 acres of property located at the mouth of the Santa Rosa Valley along the Central Coast of California. The property had and existing 9-acre vineyard planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. Soon afater buying the property, they were faced with the following choices: they could continue to sell the crop to local winemakers

or they could take the next step and produce their own wine.

As Italian-Americans, Don and Charlene had grown up with wine and food as an integral part of family and celebration.

During their childhood, both Don and Charlene, living in eastern United States, had grandparents who purchased grapes from California. Every year, the families would make their own wine in the basements of their homes. Recalling many stories of his family tradition, they decided to follow in their relatives' footsteps and make estate wines from their small vineyard.

In 2004, with help from their three children and neighbors, Don and Charlene harvested their first vintage from Stolo Family Vineyard. They bottle 176 cases and labeled it TreViti Wines. Pleased with the quality and progress of the vineyard, Don and Charlene feel they have created a solid foundation for a boutique winery.

Luke came to us in 2011 with the experience and expertise that our small vineyard was in need of. With a Bachelor of Science in Wine and Viticulture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Luke did not hesitate to jump into the industry. He created Coastal Range Vineyards, a vineyard consultant company, focused on small ultra-premium wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Along with his partners, he ran the day to day operations of multiple small vineyards in the cool climate area. Luke also managed to squeeze in harvests in South Africa and South Australia during downtime.

His desire to move back to teh Central Coast brought him to Stolo Family Vineyards. Once on board, he immediately put his advanced knowledge in cool climate, ultra-premium vineyard techniques to work. Stolo Family Vineyards has never been in better shape and better hands. You can routinely see him from early morning to evening working in the vineyards with his trust companion, Kaya, in tow - aka the gopher detector. We are grateful to have such a detail oreinted and unique problem solver to work with us.
