There are also a limited number of bottles of Madonna wine.

In 2005 Madonna and her father Silvio T. Ciccone, proud owner and vintner of Ciccone Vineyards, decided to finally attack a long awaited project. A collaboration between father/vintner and daughter/superstar. This was to commemorate her 11th studio album CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR to be released and Tony would be celebrating a very big birthday. With that in mind we took the original artwork from her album and with creative input on all sides the labels were created, the label does contain a limited edition number and a facsimile of his and her signature. The wine is of course the creative work of Mr. Ciccone himself with a wonderful growing season in 2005 he chose his five favorite grapes and with that came along five amazing wines.

If you are planning a special event, remember the tasting room is available for parties, dinners, and small wedding receptions. They can seat 60 people, or they can handle standup parties for 100 people. If your event will be sometime in early summer through fall, consider the outside amenities of the Barn.
