This month we visit Galleano Winery in Mira Loma, which is riverside county’s oldest winery. It was designated in 1993 as a county historical Landmark and a state of california Point of historical Interest.
In 2003, Galleano Winery was added to the National register of historic Places and the california register of historic Places.
And in that historic setting, visitors can sample many of the winery’s delicious selections. recommendations by third-generation wine maker Don Galleano include limited-production cucamonga Valley Zinfandels, aged ports from syrah and zinfandel grapes, and lucious sweet-sipping sherry wines.
Galleano still farms more than 400 acres of grapes unique to the cucamonga Valley, and Galleano enterprises is the largest shipper of grapes in the southland.
“When people think of Galleano, they think of grapes that are grown in the cucamonga Valley,” Galleano says.
Galleano Winery is at 4231 Wineville Road, Mira Loma; 951-685-5376; www.galleanowinery.com.
