The Story
Michael Trujillo's journey into the world of winemaking is a tale of serendipity and passion that began in the early 1980's. During a spring break from his engineering studies in college, Michael embarked on a road trip to California, where fate led him to stay with a family friend who owned a small winery in Napa Valley. Little did he know that this visit would shape his future. This transformative visit not only laid the foundation for Michael's future endeavors but also instilled in him a profound appreciation for the land, the vines, and the artistry of winemaking. It was here, among the rolling vineyards of Napa, that Michael's journey as a winemaker began—a journey fueled by curiosity, dedication, and an unwavering love for the vineyard.
