“Going to Moretti Wines tasting room is like going to a friend’s house. Antonio has this unique ability to make you feel welcome. That said, he does have an definite advantage… it’s called fine wine ; ) “Located in a “campus” of industrial buildings called The Wine Ghetto (Lompoc, CA), you will discover Moretti’s tasting room. The humble decor of the tasting room is no reference to the wine and overall experience I had at Moretti Wines. As soon as you enter the room, you are welcomed by Antonio himself. After a quick introduction, he tells you a story about each wine you’re about to taste. No crackers or salted treats here, no siree! It’s fresh baked bread and charcuterie cut right in front of you on a wood cutting board – “à la bonne franquette” as we say in France. It’s about preparing simple food without fuss and sharing it with friends, because you are a friend the second you step foot in Antonio’s tasting room.

Antonio is currently offering 9 different wines. They all feature a very straightforward label in which the main ornament is Moretti’s logo. But don’t be fooled by the simple design of the label, it’s inside the bottle that matters most! Grown and produced in California, Moretti’s wines promote a flare of Italy. To tell you more about the wine and the philosophy behind the flavors, who better than Antonio Moretti himself…”
