Trecini Winery

I'm finding that the pleasure in visiting is not merely what one finds in the wines, it lies in the character of the people. Cathleen Vicini (owner) is a delight to visit with, not just about wines but her dogs, parrot, the Italian influence in their wines (her husband), much more...

I'm just a good ole boy, wino in training, having moved here about a month ago from Silicon Valley (no place for ole men any-longer). The Trecini experience is different from what tourists seem to gravitate to, you know the disneyesque/romantic vision of a winery. Trecini is a tasting boutique where one enjoys privacy along with personal attention. Plenty of time for questions from a master at the trade.

Tasting only whites, as red's chemical additives trigger a migraine, Cathleen pointed out many of their wines come from Italy with "no" additives. This led to me tasting one of their wonderful reds with no reaction. There was also a very interesting surprise when she introduced me to their Sparkling Rockpile Zinfandel. They partner with Mumm to produce this fun, delicious wine. I'm committed to the claims, purchased some.

Where are they; Located on what some might call a side street from Downtown Santa Rosa. Highly recommend you give them a try.

What a great last minute find! We had a tasting guided by Cathy, the Co-owner. She was inviting and extremely informative, teaching new tasting techniques that truly brought out all the subtleties of each offering. Her explanations of the wines' origins and a bit of her own story truly made the experience. Not to mention, Ciacco, the parrot welcomed us in with a greeting. Such a cozy space with an inclusive ambiance to enjoy a few local and imported wines. If you're in Santa Rosa, check your schedule (and theirs) to make time to pop in over the weekend for a tasting or just to purchase a few bottles. Also, military friendly.

Had a blast here! The winery is centrally located in downtown Santa Rosa and offers an abundance of excellent bottles to taste from. I loved the Zinfandel, Prosecco and rosé.

We came with a group of 8. Best experience ever. Very intimate and the host was so funny!! The wine was brought out in a tray - super unique because most wineries just bring out glasses. Highly recommend going with a big group.

We didn't have reservations but we decided to walk in and see if there was availability. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a "HELLO." I was looking around to see which employee said that but come to find out, the welcome greeting was from the lovely parrot named Checho." Our wine tasting experience was one for the books! Cathy was so kind and knowledgeable! She even gifted me my wine tasting fee because I was a first responder. If you're visiting Santa Rosa, this is an MUST DO experience! And of course the wine was GREAT as well as the grand finale of ice cream and wine paired together! YUM! We will definitely be back! Thank you Cathy

Last minute booking was super easy. Cathy is amazing! She us so knowledgeable in the wine details but also just interested in talking to you and sharing experiences. Really enjoyed all their wines. Would definitely recommend!

Visited this gem a month or so ago and we had a blast. Left there with a shipment of two cases that quickly landed in CT. Breaking out a little bubbly brought back great memories. #lakegeorgeny

Our tasting with Cathy was one of the highlights on our girls trip Sonoma! After doing a wine tour the day before, we went to downtown Santa Rosa for lunch, and then looked for a tasting room, instead of driving out to more vineyards. When we stumbled in there was only one other couple, who left before our tasting started. This is a very intimate experience. The key word here is experience! It was about 2 hours long and we tasted 12 wines. The conversation would shift between the wines and other general conversation. We were surprised when we finished and so much time had passed. Cathy will work with you if you do have reservations or a time crunch, but I recommend making yourself available for the whole experience.

We had a wonderful experience! Cathy is very knowledgeable and entertaining. I appreciated Cathy's priority of keeping the area sanitized and distributing sanitizer to each guest prior to the tasting. The tasting atmosphere was relaxed and fun! Trecini Prosecco was the best!

One word describes my experience here...PERFECT! Cathy was extraordinary and made the experience amazing. Between the official door greeter Knox, Cathy, and all the delicious wines, we are completely sold on Trecini Winery! I am happy that our first membership together is the Trecini Winery Friends and Family club!

We will definitely be back!!
