Italian inspired, locally made. A getaway to the unexpected, BOTTAIA Winery is a chic, modern destination located in Temecula Wine Country. Unlike anything else in the region, BOTTAIA prides itself upon crafting quality Italian varietal wines using modern methods informed by Old World traditions. Interactive wine and food experiences are delivered in a setting inspired by the luxury and refinement of Northern Italy.
After farming the historic Brookside ranch in Temecula since 1985, and replanting the most suitable blocks to Italian varieties, the Ponte family developed a vision to build a winery to produce these unique wines, and introduce them to a discerning clientele. The Pontes have operated their namesake winery in Temecula for 15 years and researched the best Italian varieties for our soils and enology techniques for these wines. Then, armed with the knowledge, the grapes and well-aged wines, as well as 15 years of operating experience, they built a very special and different winery: BOTTAIA. The word "BOTTAIA" means cask-aging room in Italian. We chose this name as it matches our winemaking philosophy.
