History and Background

Calvaresi Winery was established in 1981 in a humble Reading row home basement. Its founder captivated locals with quality small batch wines, leading to necessary expansion from the home setup to a more spacious venue in Bernville, PA. In 2014, Tom Calvaresi retired, passing the torch to Shannon Birosik, who continues to uphold the winery’s tradition of creating exceptional wines, now under the rebranded name "Soaked."
