History
Established in 1995 as a family undertaking, Casa Rondena Winery was started by vintner John Calvin, and his two young sons, Ross and Clayton. The tasting room first opened in August 1994, and the commemorative Tricentennial bell tower was completed in 2004. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin had built a home on the property, which turned into the 1629 Club in 2010, offering a new level of membership to the winery.
