La Fata Cellars

La Fata Cellars is founded on the core pillars of a life well lived; Moments, Memories, Mission & Meaning. It is by intentionally focusing on these pillars that we can each create a life worth telling a story about. Every day is a chance to create a moment, build the memories we cherish, step into a higher mission and give your words, actions and deeds meaning. Far too often, people just ‘get through the day’ versus intentionally living each moment of the day. At La Fata Cellars, we believe that each moment is an opportunity to create freedom in life. We have created our wines with this in mind.

In Temecula Valley, Vito and Anna planted their Estate Syrah, and Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, their flagship wines, known as The Freedom of Life & The Roots of Life. Working with meticulous growers from Temecula La Fata Cellars brings the best of Temecula into their signature wines.

On their honeymoon, Vito & Anna discovered The Santa Ynez Valley, where they almost moved, as a critical wine growing region they wanted to share. 

A unique terroir in viticulture due to the hot California days and cool nights from the ocean breeze that sits in the Santa Ynez Valley, this region produces delicious wines just begging to be drunk by you, your family and friends. 

The soil is rich and vibrant, which is reflected in the richness and depth of these wines. The La Fata’s couldn't be more excited that life connected them to amazing growers, mentors and partnerships in Santa Ynez to compliment their Temecula Wine Collection.

La Fata Cellars wines are going to take you across California to experience crisp whites, meaningful, deep reds and exciting Rose’s and bubbly.
