San Antonio Winery, Historic winery in Downtown Los Angeles, United States.
San Antonio Winery is a wine producer in Downtown Los Angeles that makes wines from vineyards in Napa Valley, Monterey County, and Paso Robles. The facility offers daily tastings, tours, two dining restaurants, and a shop for wine accessories.
The winery was founded in 1917 by the Riboli family and remained active during Prohibition by producing sacramental wine for religious ceremonies. This legal production allowed the family to continue operating during that difficult period.
The Maddalena Restaurant serves traditional Italian dishes, named after the family matriarch who shaped its food direction. The space reflects the Italian heritage of the family that has worked here for generations.
The location is in the city center and easy to reach; visitors should come during the day to join the tours and tastings. Plan time for both activities since they can be combined and a visit may take several hours.
It is the last commercial winery still operating in Los Angeles and has been at the same location for over 100 years. This unusual continuity in a city that has changed dramatically makes it a rare example of an established wine operation.
