Turkovich Family Wines

Turkovich Family Wines is a small, family-owned winery and agricultural operation based in Winters, California, in the heart of Western Yolo County. The business is led by the husband-and-wife team Luciana and Chris Turkovich, who describe it as a family-owned enterprise dedicated to crafting wines that reflect the character of their region. The winery operates two visitor locations: a tasting room in historical downtown Winters and a winery and farm on Buckeye Road that is open seasonally. The estate vineyard spans 23 acres of vines planted in alluvial, gravelly-clay-loam soils. The site benefits from warm days and cool evening breezes flowing from nearby Lake Berryessa, a microclimate that supports a long, balanced growing season and grapes with depth, complexity, and character. Beyond wine, the Turkovich family farms orchards and row crops, including prunes, walnuts, oranges, and tomatoes, with prunes and tomatoes described as the two most important crops. The family also practices regenerative agriculture, integrating grazing animals into the cropping system, and sells grass-fed, hormone-free lamb as a direct-to-consumer product. The brand positions itself around sustainability, soil health, and innovative winemaking, presenting a "from vineyard to bottle" story that connects its wines to its land and family. Its direct-to-consumer offerings include wine club memberships with seasonal shipments, exclusive discounts, complimentary tastings, member-only events, insider recipes, and first and last access to every release. The online shop also sells farm products such as half and whole lamb, with member pricing available. The winery hosts private events for small to large groups and offers curated goods through its online store. As a family-owned business, Turkovich Family Wines is privately held and not listed on any stock exchange. Its identity is closely tied to Western Yolo County agriculture, combining a boutique winery with a working farm and a commitment to sustainable and regenerative practices.

Turkovich Family Wines is a small, family-owned winery and farm nestled in the heart of Western Yolo County, California. The business is operated from its base in Winters, California, by the husband-and-wife team Luciana and Chris Turkovich, who helm the family-owned enterprise. The winery describes itself as founded with a passion for agriculture and a commitment to quality, farming its vineyards and orchards with care and focusing on sustainability, soil health, and innovative winemaking techniques. The estate vineyard spans 23 acres of vines rooted in alluvial, gravelly-clay-loam soils. The site benefits from warm days and cool evening breezes that flow from the nearby Lake Berryessa, creating a unique microclimate that allows for a long, balanced growing season and produces grapes with depth, complexity, and character. From vineyard to bottle, the wines are presented as telling the story of the land, the family, and their dedication to producing the region's top wines. Beyond winegrowing, the Turkovich family operates orchards and row crops that keep the entire family busy throughout the season. Prunes, walnuts, oranges, and a number of row crops are grown, with prunes and tomatoes described as the two most important crops. At the forefront of modern sustainable agriculture, the family practices regenerative agriculture by integrating grazing animals into the cropping system. This includes sheep grazing, and the farm offers limited lamb meat options that are grass-fed, hormone-free, and humanely raised, sold pre-cut and vacuum-sealed directly to consumers. The winery maintains two locations: a tasting room in historical downtown Winters and a winery and farm on Buckeye Road that is open seasonally. It offers private event rentals in different sizes to meet various celebration needs, and it operates a wine club that provides seasonal wine shipments, exclusive discounts, complimentary tastings, member-only events, insider recipes, and first and last access to every release. The online shop sells both wine and farm products, including half and whole lamb at member and regular prices. The brand's identity remains closely tied to Western Yolo County agriculture, combining a boutique winery with a working farm and a commitment to sustainable and regenerative practices.
