Our
Story
Fabbioli Vineyards is a business and a concept that
has been in the works for almost 20 years. When we moved to California
in 1987, I had in the back of my mind the idea that we could find
a piece of land and grow some grapes. It sure sounded easy back
then. Kids, life, careers, land prices, cash flow and family steered
us back East in 1997. We knew that the idea would not work for us
in CA, but our time was well spent in gaining the knowledge, skills
and confidence to make it happen in VA.
In early 2000, Colleen was driving young Sammy around to get him to settle down and stumbled into a 25 acre parcel in the southern Lucketts area. We had been looking for land for a while but were unable to find the right piece. Although this piece did not fit all the parameters of a perfect vineyard site, it would be able to grow good grapes. It also filled many other concerns and needs for our family as a home. The planting began in 2001, along with building the house. The main planting was Merlot with a little Petit Verdot for blending.
