The owners of Gianelli Vineyards, Ron and Lorie Gianelli, wanted to create a vineyard straight out of Italy. Traveling to Italy, they learned the old techniques, even all their equipment was purchased in Italy. With the help of Mr. Steve Cullum, they started planning in 2003 and today have 18 different estate grown varietals over 53 acres. True to the Italian spirit, they even have a few that have never been produced outside of Italy and others such as Vermentino, Fiano, Primitivo, and Agliancio. By 2015, they expect 7000 cases. Chuck Hovey is the winemaker and brought much success to Stevenot Wineries and they hope he can do the same for Gianelli Vineyards.

Gianelli Vineyards is open for free wine tasting at their tasting room Thursday through Sunday from 12:00pm to 5:00pm. The address is at 18263 Main St. in Jamestown (next to the Willow Steak House).
