OUR STORY..It starts with the vine
Sometimes it’s less expensive to build a winery than to keep your wife supplied with wine. At least that’s David DelMonaco’s explanation for how a weekend hobby evolved into a premier Tennessee winery and vineyard. Barbara and David started making wine in their basement in 2002. It was fun, challenging, & rewarding. They soon joined other wine enthusiasts as members of TVOS, Tennessee’s amateur wine-making society, and their infatuation with the grape continued to grow. They planted four varieties of grapes around their home, and the wine making expanded. By 2006 they’d relocated to 52 beautiful acres in Putnam County, Tennessee, that were perfect for growing grapes. After planting the first 12 acres of vineyards, it was only logical that they built a winery. So they embarked on a two-year journey through designing and constructing a building, navigating permitting and legalities and developing the DelMonaco brand. DelMonaco Winery & Vineyards opened its’ doors on November 15, 2008.
