Welcome to D. Berardinis Winery, located on the picturesque south shore of Flathead Lake in Polson, Montana. Our winery is dedicated to producing distinctive small-batch wines, capturing the unique character of the fruits and grapes cultivated in Montana's lush landscapes.

History and Background

The winery's origin traces back to the founder's days living in a cabin surrounded by an old orchard on the East Shore of Flathead Lake. Inspired by his great-grandfather's winemaking in Italy's Abruzzo region, Dana Berardinis embarked on crafting his own wines from the abundant local fruit. This passion evolved from homemade experiments to establishing a winery that honors traditional, handcrafted winemaking techniques.
