<\/a>Before Dominick arrived in California he resided in New Jersey and in the 1980\u2019s he created the Bacchus Club, perhaps the first of its kind where individuals or groups were able to make their own wine in a winemaking facility. By the time he came to California with his idea of the Bacchus Club, the Crushpad had just opened in San Francisco. Timing is everything! Nonetheless, the Bacchus Club is in full operation mode at Domenico. There are about 150 members of the club who, as individuals or teams, are making their own wine with their own label. A wine friend of mine wanted to try his hand at winemaking, so he joined an existing group from Redwood Shores that is making one barrel of wine. His share will be only one case of wine but it is the experience that he is after.<\/p>\nTasting room hours at the winery are noon to 5 pm daily. To get there, exit at San Carlos off Highway 101 and turn left on Industrial Road and travel about one mile to 1697 Industrial Road. (650) 593-2335.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
If you live on the San Francisco Peninsula or in the South Bay and you\u2019re hunkering to taste some wines and not travel too far, then schedule a stop at Domenico Winery in San Carlos. The owner and winemaker is Dominick Chirichillo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[564],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[1885],"authors":[{"term_id":1885,"user_id":3,"is_guest":0,"slug":"joe","display_name":"Joe Becerra","avatar_url":{"url":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Joe-Becerra.jpg","url2x":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Joe-Becerra.jpg"},"first_name":"Joe","last_name":"Becerra","user_url":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com","description":"Joe Becerra has been traveling to wine country and enjoying wine since 1965.
