News from the Sonoma County Harvest Fair:

The 2015 Harvest Fair is pleased to honor the Trione Family, founders and owners of Trione Family Vineyards and Winery, for their Lifetime Contribution to the Sonoma County Wine Industry.

For 45 years, the Trione family has carefully farmed and managed some of the finest grapes in Sonoma County. With painstaking devotion to the land, three generations—Henry Trione, sons Mark and Vic, and Mark’s daughter Denise—have developed a reputation for producing premium grapes and outstanding wine that represents and promotes the very best Sonoma County.

The Trione family is deeply rooted in Sonoma County and its wine industry. The family owns five ranches and cultivates close to 700 vineyard acres in three prime Sonoma County appellations: Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Coast.

“We are most proud of our dedication to quality grape production, the turn-around of Geyser Peak Winery, and the launching of Trione Winery, which is the focus of the third generation of the Trione family,” said Vic Trione upon hearing of the Harvest Fair award. “In light of past recipients our family feels very humbled to be receiving this award,” he adds. “We just wish our patriarch Henry, could be here to experience this tribute.”

The Trione vision is to bring in quality fruit to produce small production, high quality wines. Just three percent of the Trione estate grapes are used to craft small lots of Trione wine. Their state-of-the-art winemaking facility and tasting room in the heart of the Alexander Valley was built alongside Sonoma County’s historic Old Stone Building, dating back to 1908. The storied building, carefully restored to be earthquake proof, features the area’s first concrete floor and magnificent Douglas fir beams and serves as the winery’s venue for events. The Triones treasure their Sonoma County history and were able to retain the original bond number 350 for the building that was given to its predecessor, Nervo Winery. The authentic building is an intriguing stop for those eager for a taste of Sonoma County history and the wines that have earned the Trione name.

The Sonoma County Harvest Fair is proud to honor the Trione Family for their lifetime contribution and long-lasting impact on the Sonoma County wine industry.

The Harvest Fair and the Sonoma County food and wine community will celebrate the Triones during the annual awards ceremony and dinner to be held September 27 at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. The celebration is open to the public with tickets available soon at HarvestFair.org.

The 2015 Sonoma County Harvest Fair will be October 2-4 at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. For more information, visit HarvestFair.org or call (707) 545-4200.
