The Winery:
The winery is located in the Vino Piazza Wine Plaza in Lockeford. The Kapiniaris family origins in the Kalamata region of Greece are celebrated in the tasting room with the sale of great Olive Oils from that region of Greece. The tasting room is beautifully done with 2 granite tasting bars, one of which is under the watchful guidance of the Kapiniaris family’s Greek patriarch, painted into a picture of the vineyards directly behind the bar. This is a place to experience a little taste of Greek culture and old-world style hospitality.

The Vineyards:
Konstantino Kapiniaris, the founder of both Stama Wines and Kapiniaris Vineyards, purchased the first vineyards in 1987. The original 30 acres have now grown to 185 acres of fine wine grapes Only a portion of the harvest is used to produce the estate wines leaving the majority to be sold to other fine wine makers.

The Wines:
Although the vineyards have been owned by the Kapiniaris’ for more than 20 years, the winery didn’t release its first wines until 2005 from 2003 harvested grapes. The wines are primarily made from estate grown grapes. They produce fruit forward wines with good acidic structure and a mouth filing creamy texture.
