Established in 2009, Desparada wines are guided more by spirit than style. Winemaker and owner Vailia From draws inspiration from travels and expertise from nearly three decades of experience working harvests, restaurant floors, importer relationships, and brokerages. All of her collected knowledge, bold ambitions, and divergent musings—that’s Desparada. Focused on lively Sauvignon Blanc, Bordeaux, and Italian varietal-based wines in and around several amphorae. You'll find both red and white wine on our tasting menu.
“Desperada was our last stop of the day and did not disappoint. Well known for creating outstanding Sauvignon Blanc the other wines were also very pleasing to the palate. The tasting room is decorated like something out of an old movie with older style furniture and art + photos everywhere. Our tasting was relaxed but we were never ignored. Our wine educator knew her stuff and spent time engaging with us. We really enjoyed our visit to Desperada Wines. Elite tip would be to make sure you secure reservations. Several walk-ins had to be turned away because there was not enough room to accommodate them. It is an intimate setting for a tasting.”
“Easily one of the best in the area for a tasting, specially if you love white wines. Christian is incredibly knowledgeable not just about their wines but about wines and the area in general. His restaurant recommendations are also spot on! If you’re looking for a great tasting experience DO NOT miss out on Desparada!”
