The Family Behind Sentivo
At the heart of Sentivo Vineyards is a family driven by a love for bringing people together. The Pierson family’s roots run deep in service and community, and for decades they’ve dedicated themselves to helping others through their work in emergency services. That same dedication carries over to their approach at Sentivo Vineyards.
In 2022, they began a new chapter, acquiring Sentivo Vineyards with the vision of creating a space where tradition, family, and exceptional wines come together. For the Piersons, winemaking is more than just a craft—it’s about creating connections and sharing moments that matter. Their commitment to quality and care can be found in every bottle, reflecting their values of togetherness, hard work, and giving back to the community.
At Sentivo, every wine tells a story of family and shared experiences. Whether you're visiting our vineyards or enjoying a bottle at home, we invite you to become part of the Sentivo family.
Our Vineyards
Each of our vineyard locations is a cornerstone of Sentivo Vineyards’s commitment to crafting wines that reflect the diversity of California’s wine-growing regions. From the high-altitude vineyards of El Dorado and Perry Creek to the renowned coastal region of Sonoma’s Healdsburg vineyard, we are proud to bring the unique character of each region into every bottle.
