Meet the Family
For more than 70 years, the Terlato family has helped to grow and shape the wine industry in the United States. Through four generations, the family's passion for and commitment to quality has shone through by way of the incredible wines that they have brought to the table of the American wine drinker.
The stability and vision of the family allow for a very long and multi-generational view of vineyard management and winemaking. This ensures that our estate will continue to be sustainably managed and farmed with a focus on healthy vines and a healthy ecosystem.
Importers, marketers, and producers of some of the world’s finest wines, the Terlato’s are a four generation American wine dynasty. Anthony Terlato, the patriarch of the family, will always be fondly known as the Father of Pinot Grigio for introducing the varietal to Americans in 1979. Anthony’s son Bill is the CEO of Terlato Family Wines and the family has welcomed the next generation into the business.
Our heritage of sharing the best wines of California with passionate wine drinkers goes back over a half century, and Chimney Rock Winery allows us to carry on that tradition. We invite you to experience these elegant wines from the Chimney Rock estate – and hope you enjoy them as much as our family does.
Cheers from our family to yours,
The Terlato Family
