Salvatore Villari leaves Messina, Italy, carrying a deep love for the land and a dream of building a new life in America.
In Philadelphia, he builds a successful livestock and manufacturing business, planting the seeds of a family legacy rooted in hard work and determination.
The First Roots in Deptford
He settles on a 30-acre farm in Deptford, New Jersey, raising animals and planting the first roots of a lasting family legacy.
The Family Legacy Grows
Through the decades, the Villari family tends the land with care, passing down traditions of craftsmanship, hospitality, and heart.
Villari Vineyards Is Born
Nearly a century later, the farm evolves into Villari Vineyards-a dream realized, guided by love, patience, and respect for the soil.
