Balletto Vineyards proves that anything is possible
If Balletto Vineyards could be a dancer, it would be a graceful ballerina.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) -- Located in the Russian River Valley, Balletto Vineyards creates so much more than a graceful glass of wine; it also cultivates family and community. After the untimely death of his father in 1977, John Balletto relinquished several college athletic scholarship offers so he could help his mother run a five-acre farm.



With determination, hard work, and perseverance, John Balletto grew his once small farm into a budding 700 acres of estate vineyard. Today, the Balletto family and winemaking team strives to let their vineyards speak authentically through each bottle of wine.



In this segment, Spencer receives a tour of Balletto Vineyards and tastes delicious wines with winemaker, Anthony Beckman.
