St. Helena, Calif.—Trinchero Family Estates (TFE) purchased the Five Rivers Winery in Paso Robles, Calif., from Fetzer Vineyards. According to the press release announcing the deal, The Five Rivers property totals 46 acres, which includes 15 acres of vineyards planted to Petite Sirah and a winery facility that is more than 90,000 square feet. Fetzer Vineyards had owned the winery since 2000, but is consolidating its operations at its corporate headquarters in Mendocino County. 

TFE did not disclose how much it paid for the facility, but did say it plans to modernize the winery and add white wine production capabilities. “The purchase of the Five Rivers facility allows Trinchero Family Estates to further expand our operations in the Central Coast region and ensure that our production of wines from that region are managed with the utmost emphasis on quality,” TFE president and COO Bob Torkelson said in the statement.
