The Sebastiani family has been synonymous with Sonoma wine for more than 100 years. Donny is the great-grandson of patriarch Samuele Sebastiani. Since taking the helm of Don Sebastiani & Sons in 2009, Donny has steered the company in a new direction toward small-lot, single-vineyard wines. And he’s not stopping there: Additions to the portfolio will include premium, wine-friendly snacks like almonds and pistachios, a “functional essence beverage” and three craft Tequilas.
