Taste Wine
San Antonio Winery has been a cultural monument in Los Angeles since 1917. Owned by the Riboli family, couples visit this location and take their wine-tasting tour or eat in Maddalena Restaurant, a restaurant set among redwood aging casks. The Riboli family brought its Italian tradition of wine making to the United States. This winery, the last producing Los Angeles winery, creates wine from grapes grown in California vineyards in Napa Valley, Monterey and Paso Robles, to name a few. This establishment hosts wine events such as "Taste of Italy" Wine and Food Festival in October. Its fine wine shop has international wines from places such as France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Switzerland, Australia and Germany.
