Tannura Family Wines will be sponsoring the Wednesday, August 13th 2025 Luncheon.

Tannura Family Wines honors their Italian heritage by crafting small-lot wines from traditional Italian grape varieties grown in California vineyards. Sourcing from sustainably farmed vineyards throughout the state, they strive to create balanced and expressive wines with varietal character and a sense of place.
