What People Are Saying About San Antonio Winery

Featured Review

In Short – A hundred years ago, the L.A. River was lined with wineries--only one remains today. A vaulted hall, stacked with wine barrels, is filled with downtown businessfolk and loft-dwelling artists eating cafeteria-style lunches. California-inspired dishes are tasty and pair with the house wines, available by the bottle or the glass. Penne pasta with salmon is paired with vodka sauce, while spinach-ricotta ravioli is flavored with a medley of herbs. –

To the Riboli family, News of your winery has graced my ears to the point of warming my now love filled heart. It is only moments before my palates will taste your magnificient selections of the finest grapes ever prepared into wine. I long and live for this moment in time.

Until this moment!

I have to say that this is a great place to take out of town guests. Since my wife and I have moved to L.A. we have had an influx of guests, and I cannot do Gromins one more time!!! I found a great alternative in San Antonio Winery - it was a fun experience :)

  • Pros: Winery close to home
  • Cons: none to speak of
