Trione Vineyards & Winery

What Trione Vineyards & Winery does

Trione Vineyards & Winery is a privately held, family-owned estate winery headquartered at 19550 Geyserville Avenue in Geyserville, Sonoma County, California. The Trione family controls approximately 600 vineyard acres across five sustainably farmed estate ranches spanning three Sonoma County appellations: Alexander Valley (Nervo Ranch, Cloverdale Ranch, and Geyserville Ranch), Russian River Valley (River Road Ranch), and Sonoma Coast (Flatridge Ranch). The winery produces a portfolio of nine estate wines — Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Henry's Blend (a Bordeaux-style red named for founder Henry Trione), Block 21 Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Primitivo — supplemented by Primogenito estate olive oil produced from a two-acre grove adjacent to the property. The flagship Block 21 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a three-acre block at Cloverdale Ranch and is aged 24 months in French oak; retail prices for the portfolio range from $37 (2016 Primitivo) to $64 (2009 Block 21 Cabernet Sauvignon). Core production technology is traditional, low-intervention winemaking paired with CCSS sustainable certification held since 2017.

The business model is anchored in direct-to-consumer channels: a winery tasting room, an OrderPort-powered e-commerce storefront, and a wine club that ships four times annually (March, May, September, November) with member-exclusive wines, customization options, and complimentary shipping. Secondary revenue streams include wholesale distribution to restaurants and wine shops via a dedicated trade team (National Sales Manager Michael Sage plus California regional contacts and a Trade & Media portal), event venue rentals at the restored 1908 Old Stone Building accommodating up to 200 guests, and direct sales of estate olive oil. The company sells only in the United States, with direct shipping restricted in approximately 11 states due to alcohol beverage control regulations.

Ownership and operations remain within the Trione family across three generations. Founder Henry Trione's sons Mark (President) and Vic (Vice President) co-lead alongside Henry's granddaughter Denise Trione-Hicks (Managing Director) and her husband Kris Hicks (Vineyard Manager since 2011, having apprenticed under 40-year vineyard veteran John Tankersley). Winemaking has been led by John Duckett since 2023, following prior tenures at Jordan Vineyard & Winery, J Vineyards, Korbel, and Delegat Wine Estate in New Zealand. A related entity, Vimark Vineyards, manages the family's farming operations. The company has no disclosed institutional investment, no parent entity, and no funding rounds in its history; it is supported entirely by family capital and operating cash flow.
