Vina Enoteca

Vina Enoteca is dedicated to teaching our guests about the rich Italian culture that Stanford so deeply loved.

Vina Enotevca immerses you in the Italian culture, filled with fine wine and authentic Italian cuisine. We’ve transformed Leland Stanford’s own personal vineyard and brought his vision to life, creating a communal space for friends to gather, sip fine wines, and savor authentic dishes straight from Italy.
