About
Here at Avalon, we don’t just talk about quality winemaking, we live it. Sourcing grapes from some of the most coveted vineyards from throughout the state of California is something we pride ourselves on. Outstanding fruit is the first, and most important, step in the winemaking process. Without quality grapes, you can’t make quality wine, plain and simple. Working together as a team and more importantly, as a family from grape to glass, is why we are able to deliver your “Go To Wine”. Cheers!
OUR AVALON WINEMAKER
Avalon Winemaker, Antonio Treviño’s first foray into the cellar did not include grapes and barrels – it involved creating apple cider from the flavorful, heirloom apples grown in Sebastopol, a small town in western Sonoma County. After several years producing hard cider, he made the leap to grapes taking a position at Rodney Strong Vineyards. He soon realized he had a deep affinity for wine, especially wine crafted from Sonoma County vineyards.
Treviño joined Purple Wine Company, makers of Avalon, in 2003 as Senior Winemaker. This position allowed him to work with grapes grown in the Napa Valley and throughout the state of California. Under his skilled hand in the cellar, wine brands such as Avalon, Four Vines and Raeburn were born. His wines are critically acclaimed with numerous gold medals and 90+ point scores in major wine publications.
