Where is the wine produced?
The San Antonio Winery produces wines at our facilities in Los Angeles and Paso Robles. The Los Angeles site is used for white wine fermentations in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. Red wines are produced at our Paso Robles facility. Our modern bottling plant and distribution center are located in Los Angeles.
What is the significance of the name San Antonio Winery?
The name San Antonio was given in honor of St. Anthony, the Patron Saint of the Northern Italian hometown of the Winery's founder, Santo Cambianica. This name also provided strong religious associations for the large European immigrant population of Los Angeles in the early 1900's.
How many different types of wines do you produce?
We currently produce multiple brands of wines. Each brand represents a different style of winemaking. For example, San Antonio represents table wines and kitchen/dessert wines. Maddalena Vineyard represents premium quality, varietal wines from California's Central Coast, in particular Monterey. San Simeon represents the reserve wines of Maddalena Vineyard.
