About

Narrated by Wendy Sanford.

Manny and I were born and raised in Silicon Valley, witnessing its exponential growth and the transformation of orchards into condominiums. We wanted to recreate the quality of life we had for our five children, so we decided to move to Central Valley, California. It has been the perfect place to raise our children; we have cherished every moment.

Fast forward to 2015, our children are now mostly grown, and an opportunity was presented to us: thirty acres of land near "Lodi Wine Country." Initially, creating a legacy vineyard wasn't our primary intention, but we decided to seize the opportunity and build a producing vineyard. 

We relied on wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to guide us.

Caring for the vineyard has been a labor of love because, as the saying goes, good wine starts with good grapes. I couldn't be prouder of our accomplishments.

Manny, myself, our children, and our daughter-in-law have all played crucial roles in making our family vineyard a reality for present and future generations. Havin' Fun Vineyards truly exemplifies "family owned and operated," with a vision and the determination to see it through.

The 2022 harvest from our seven-year-old Syrah vines is currently being prepared for bottling and will be ready for release in 2024.

We are Havin' Fun!
