PELLEGRINI-OLIVET LANE
CELLAR & RANCH MAINTENANCE
1. COMPANY OVERVIEW
Pellegrini-Olivet Lane is a luxury brand estate family vineyard & winery, based in the heart of the Russian River Valley. The Pellegrini family are California wine pioneers, having been associated with every tier of the wine business since 1925 — as producers, grape sellers, importers, and wholesale distributors. Planted in 1975, our 70-acre estate vineyard has the distinction of being among the earliest plantings of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in California. Construction on our state-of-the-art winery building was completed in 2000. In addition to wine, we produce estate olive oil from our mature olive trees. Our tasting room gardens & event spaces encircle the winery and continue to be expanded upon each season. For more on us, please visit: pellegrinisonoma.com/aboutus
