The result? A showplace that would become a point of pride for the community and a destination for wine lovers like themselves. In addition to the wine production facility, DelMonaco Winery houses the Bella Rooms where many couples have been united as one. Other activities have included fundraisers, showers, parties, conferences, and other events. There’s often music on the winery lawn, and Wine on the Rails brings an excursion train to the winery doors several times each year. Six more acres of vines were planted in 2011, and now a hearty vineyard is the centerpiece of a subdivision called Vineyard Estates. On most days you’ll find David working somewhere in the vineyard, content and focused. Barbara and her staff greet visitors daily in the gift shop & tasting room, where a wide range of different wines can be sampled. Two of those are Whistle Stop Red and Espiritu de Oro, which contain grapes from those original four varieties the DelMonacos planted when winemaking was something for a happy couple to experience together, before they started sharing it with the world.
