GEN 7 Wines, established in 2008 by Tim and Susanné Bacino, is located in Napa Valley, California. The winery's name honors their daughter Gabriella, representing the seventh generation of their family involved in winemaking, a tradition that dates back to 1852 with Tim's ancestor Theophile Vaché, one of the early vineyard founders in California. Initially launched in Temecula, GEN 7 Wines benefited from mentorship by experienced winemakers familiar with the Bacino family's history. Tim later transitioned production to Sonoma County and, in 2018, moved to The Wine Foundry in Napa. The winery focuses on a diverse range of wine styles, reflecting Tim's commitment to California winemaking despite initial advice to explore Oregon's Pinot Noir. Visitors to GEN 7 Wines can expect a welcoming atmosphere, as the Bacinos emphasize community support and collaboration within the wine industry. The winery's history is intertwined with California's broader wine heritage, showcasing the evolution of winemaking in the region.
