About the Winery
Vintner's Diary is the rosé label of Vanessa Robledo, founded in 2023 with her daughter, Jocelyn, and her mother, Maria: three generations of Latina vintners. Vanessa comes from generations of Mexican master grape grafters who began as vineyard workers in Sonoma and Napa in the 1940s, and she grew up in the business, translating for her father in meetings by age 12.
At 19 she launched Robledo Family Winery for her father, securing permits and designing packaging, and she later served as its president; Vintner's Diary describes it as the first winery in the United States founded by Mexican vineyard workers. Vintner's Diary is her own brand, built on the idea that wine intimidation is common and the family makes it simple.
The debut was a 2022 Rosé of Grenache from the Napa Valley AVA, just 150 cases, and the rosé was featured at BottleRock Napa Valley in 2024. The wine is sold in the online shop and a wine club with three shipments a year. Vintner's Diary does not publish a tasting room or tastings, so the day below takes you to three estates nearby that do host.
