About Agostino & Paulette Gamba
Gus pursued higher education at the University of California at Santa Barbara, followed by studies in Viticulture and Enology at UC Davis. His career began with several premier Sonoma County wineries. In 2000,Gus and his wife Paulette founded Gamba Vineyards and Winery.
With over 75 years of experience cultivating wine grapes in the Russian River Valley, and seven generations dedicated to winemaking, the Gamba family represents a significant chapter in Sonoma County’s viticultural history.
The family’s long-standing tradition of wine growing traces its ancestral origins over the last three centuries originating in Northern Italy. Agostino “Gus” Gamba began his journey as a winemaker through a structured apprenticeship under his father’s guidance, working from an early age in the family’s historic, century-old Zinfandel vineyard located in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. Gus’s training by his father initially focused on vine cultivation before transitioning to the intricacies of artisan winemaking. He later assumed management of the Gamba Estate Vineyard with the intention of establishing a family-operated winery.

About Gamba Vineyards
The historic Gamba Estate Vineyard, planted in 1900, is among very few vineyards remaining of original plantings by the pioneering immigrants of the turn of the last century. Organically farmed and using only rainwater for irrigation, we are honored to continue to farm and care for this legendary vineyard site, and produce limited production wines for you to share with your family and friends.
Gamba Vineyards and Winery has enjoyed recognition and numerous accolades throughout the years. Robert Parker Jr. of the Wine Advocate consistently awarded critical acclaim to Gamba Zinfandels, describing them as “Among the best…” and recognizing Gamba as one of the “…Stars of Sonoma.” Jim Gordon’s definitive wine atlas, Opus Vino, notes: “Gamba Zinfandels are highly sought after… as one of the best in Sonoma County.”
Today, we look enthusiastically to the future as our three children are poised to join the team. With a strong sense of the past and an eye on the future, we are thankful and grateful for our family history that put us here today, and we are excited to see what the future holds.
