Del Vino Vineyards Puts Our Region on the Global Wine Map

Event Overview

A council-led business tour set the stage for local excellence last week, shining a spotlight on enterprises that help our region thrive. While several standouts emerged, Del Vino Vineyards stole the show with its *blend* of quality wine production and community stewardship.

• Curated visit included manufacturing, tech, and agribusiness stops.
• Councillors praised Del Vino’s “model partnership” with local farmers.
• Public announcement capped the tour, confirming the vineyard’s formal recognition.

Awards & Achievements

From gold medals to *Director’s Choice* ribbons, Del Vino’s wine list reads like an honours roll. Highlights include:

• 2025 Mort Harris Small Business of the Year – Small Business Council of America.
• Multiple regional Director’s Choice distinctions.
• Gold medals at state-wide vintner competitions.
• Top honours at the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

These accolades have amplified the vineyard’s profile and, by extension, raised the bar for the entire local wine industry.

Winemaking Excellence

“Our approach balances time-honoured tradition with cutting-edge sustainability,” explains Head Winemaker Jane Smith. From in-house grape cultivation to *refined fermentation*, every step is carefully monitored.

• Solar-powered irrigation systems reduce water use by 25%.
• Organic fertilisers safeguard soil health.
• On-site labs ensure flavour consistency across vintages.

Community & Economic Impact

Beyond corks and barrels, Del Vino fuels the local economy:

• Employs roughly 150 staff, ranging from cellar hands to marketing graduates.
• Draws tourists, boosting nearby B&Bs, cafés, and artisan shops.
• Donates vintages to charity auctions, raising more than £40,000 last year.

Local resident Tom Brown enthuses, “The wines are world-class, and their community spirit is just as rich.”

National & Regional Recognition

Media coverage of Del Vino’s achievements has turned casual sippers into dedicated visitors. Wine magazines list the estate among “Top Ten Regional Destinations,” affirming its status as a must-see cellar door.

Conclusion

The council’s latest nod reaffirms Del Vino’s position at the heart of our wine community. With planned vineyard expansion and a bustling Summer Wine Festival on 15 July, the future looks as bright as a freshly poured glass of their award-winning Chardonnay.
