Dubbed a Cal-Ital Winery, Rubino Estates boast a rich Italian heritage linked to Italian immigrant Ernest Ferrario, who purchased Ruby Hill in 1921 and developed the land into a splendid vineyard. Production was limited during prohibition and a fire destroyed the winery in 1989. In 2002, Mike Callahan purchased the property and lovingly restored it to the exact replica of the original winery building. Owned and operated by three families, Rubino Estates Winery is now regarded as one of the highest-quality vineyards in the Livermore Valley with a strong commitment to quality and sustainability. Amenities include a restaurant, bocce ball, library reserve tastings, and event facilities.
