We proudly offer our small production, hand crafted wines from our 120 year old estate vineyard and other vineyards in the famed Russian River Valley. Guided by the family heritage of over six generations of wine grape growing - it is a firm belief at Gamba that wines are made in the vineyard. Every Gamba Zinfandel is an individual expression of the vineyard with each unique vintage. The limited production, hand crafted wines are a tribute to the art of farming, as much as they are to generations of old world, traditional winemaking. As the few remaining old vine vineyards slowly continue to disappear from the landscape, Gamba holds dear and strives to preserve what is quickly becoming a limited commodity - truly Old Vine Zinfandel. The new generation has carried on with an eye on the future. Agostino Gamba, Jr. has been dedicated to continuing his family's wine grape farming tradition for over 25 years. It was the realization of a lifelong dream when in 1999, Agostino, along with his wife Paulette, started producing Gamba wine under their own label. It was a natural stepping stone for Agostino to reach this ultimate goal and bring the legacy full circle. Today, Agostino and Paulette manage all aspects of the vineyard and winery. They enjoy life on the vineyard while making wine and raising their three growing children. “We are excited to continue to bring you more of our hand crafted, small lot wines in the future. We are continually exploring possibilities with our attention on new horizons. We have established connections with great vineyards, such as the Starr Road Vineyard, among other small family owned ranches, and are considering the prospect of working with additional old vine vineyard sources on a small scale to add to our single vineyard designate program. Check in with us for future release information, as we would love to share these new and exciting small lot offerings with you. Thank you for all of your support for Gamba Vineyards and Winery."
“What a blast! Definitely the best tasting I've done. Michael was extremely knowledgeable and hilarious. Told great stories about grapes and San Francisco in the 70s. Would do it again if im ever back that way. Can't recommend enough”
“We had an absolutely amazing time at Gamba to celebrate my birthday. Michael was incredibly knowledgeable and hilarious. I recommend stopping at this lovely winery for an extremely special experience.”
“We learned of this winery at a tasting we went to in WI. Changed our view of Zinfandel wines. Was so impressed that we had to visit them in Sonoma . Again very impressed with the wines, meeting the owner and hearing the family history. Gamba's wine ambassador Mike curated one of the best wine tasting experiences we have had.”
“I wanted to take the time to say thank you for an over the top wine tasting experience at the Gamba Vineyards & Winery. When you combine over 120 years (Mike and Gus), not to mention six generations of wine making, it takes some time to tell the story and appreciate and enjoy the wine produced by these vineyards. Both Guy and Mike shared their passion and knowledge of the entire process down to the final pour and taste. Fortunately Suzanne made a generous purchase and we will look forward to future Gamba wines in our own wine room with friends in Tulsa. We are forever spoiled by your time that you shared. We look forward to a future return visit.”
“The most wonderful, pleasant, comprehensive, humorous experience! Michael (a winemaker/farmer/realist) was probably the best person we met in all of the vineyards we went to. I cannot stress enough that you MUST make the stop with Gamba vineyards and San Miguel. A private table with a private tasting.”
