Donati Family Vineyard
We’ll start this off by apologizing to Donati for the joke in the title, but hey, it grabs the readers….and, well it’s a little bit funny.
All kidding aside, super cool spot right at the corner of Vineyard Dr. and HWY 46 West. As you can see in the video it’s got unique architecture and the grounds are beautiful. We tasted a few wines from the regular menu and a few from the Donati Family Series, and enjoyed the experience quite a bit. They have several blends and numerous straight varietals, we enjoyed the chard, cab franc, claret, and the ezio quite a bit.
The tasting room is pretty cool…tons of space at the bar for you to spread out and get your taste on, as well as lots of neat stuff to buy. They’ve got things to take your picnic to the next level; cheeses and stuff, and they also have a good variety of food and wine paraphernalia to check out.

Love the look, don’t know the style though, sorry I don’t have ADD plus I could never get tired of watching/listening to you guys. Part 2 could be inside the tasting room so we can get a feel of it if it’s not busy. 🙂

Ha! We’re “Donati by Nature!” Love the title guys… Thanks for the props, give us a call next time and we’ll give you the grand tour. By the way, someone told me it was Tudor-style…but then again, I’m not an architecture major so who knows!
