193 Lightpost Winery MORGAN HILL Lightpost Winery was established in 2016, but its story began long before that. Lightpost is run by husband-and-wife team John Mauro and Sofia Fedotova, who met online and shared a passion for wine, among other things. After 18 years together, the couple managed to open the operation with the love and support of their four kids, family, and friends, backed by hard work and a strong appreciation for winemaking. Today, they work alongside their award- winning, French-Burgundian winemaker, Christian Roguenant, to showcase European-style wines in their region. Lightpost is a boutique family winery, set in Morgan Hill, at the southern tip of Silicon Valley (San Francisco Bay Area). The tasting room, housed in the historic building where Thomas Kinkade painted much of his celebrated artwork, is conveniently located right off the Highway 101 exit, providing easy access for residents and visitors. It offers multiple areas to have an unforgettable experience, including a modern tasting room, separate family room, club members' lounge, and a private group and events rooms. In addition to tasting award-winning wines, guests can relax in the outdoor seating area, make a wish under the Lightpost wishing tree, drop a postcard into happy wishes mailbox, and take pictures with interactive wine glass and bottle art sculptures. The grapes are sourced from Estate Vineyard, as well as from carefully selected premium single vineyards along the coastal line of California. Estate Vineyard is comprised of diverse but well-drained soils located in Santa Clara FACING PAGE: This lush, rich textured, voluptuous Classic Red wine with dark garnet color is powerfully flavored and ideal for everyday celebrations ABOVE: The grand entry sculpture of wine bottle and wine glass are a perfect picture opportunity.
