The Historic J. Fillippi Winery

August 14, 2007

We hear a great deal about California's wines, but many people do not know that by 1917 the Cucamonga-Guasti vineyards spanned over 20,000 acres, more than Sonoma and twice as many as in Napa in 1920 when prohibition arrived. The josephfillippiwinery.com web site gives a great history.

This Saturday, August 18, 2007, a tour and barbecue will take place at the winery from 10:00 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. The winery is located at 12467 Baseline. Tickets are $55 for general admission and $38.50 for wine club members. For information call 909-899-5755.

Also at the winery is a great fiber art show. The Chaffey Community Arts Association has a wonderful gallery space at the winery. I attended a reception for the artists a week ago and this fabric art is quite wonderful.

A trip to the winery is a great experience!
