Steve Sangiacomo is a third-generation partner at Sangiacomo Family Vineyards, located in Sonoma, California

where his family has farmed since 1927. He grew up on the ranch and began learning the ropes from his father and

extended family at a young age. As far back as he can remember, he clamored to tag along with his father and

uncles during early morning frost protection after which he enjoyed a special treat — doughnuts. He took to the

fields early and recalls jumping off a tractor to race to seventh-grade orientation. In his early 20s, he began

learning the family business from the ground up and in his 30s he and his brother Mike took over the reins.

Mike Sangiacomo is a third-generation partner at Sangiacomo Family Vineyards, located in Sonoma, California,

where his family has farmed since 1927. He has lived and breathed agriculture from the day he was born. His

grandfather taught him how to prune fruit trees from the ground up when he was eight years old and was too

short to climb the ladder. Later he was thrilled when, at age 12, his uncle Buck let him drive the fork lift during

harvest. Shortly thereafter he began assisting at the inspection station for pears as they were sorted for the

canneries. When the family business transitioned from orchards to vineyards he began learning the intricacies of

grapegrowing and has never looked back.

About Sangiacomo Wines:

Farming is in our blood. As third-generation farmers in Sonoma, we’ve upheld our family’s tradition of growing

premium grapes since planting our first vines in 1969. Our Sangiacomo wines reflect our passion for the region,

focusing on complexity, freshness, and terroir. We farm over 1600 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across 15

vineyards in four AVAs: Carneros, Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap, and Sonoma Valley, with additional Cabernet

Sauvignon in Oakville, Napa Valley. Each vineyard block is farmed with an artisanal approach, highlighting the

unique microclimates and soil diversity of our land.
