Overview

VJB Vineyard & Cellars is a winery in Kenwood, California. According to its official Our Story page, it began in the late 1990s as a dream shared by brothers Henry and Victor to pour their own family wines at their Italian restaurant; after Victor's unexpected passing, VJB Vineyards & Cellars was born, named in his honor: Victor Joseph Belmonte.
