CordeValle, the celebrated Northern California golf resort in San Martin, recently announced the acquisition of Clos La Chance Winery, an idyllic wine estate neighboring the resort’s 1,700-acre property. With this acquisition, CordeValle will usher in a new chapter with the introduction of CordeValle Winery, reinforcing its commitment to excellence while setting a bold yet approachable vision for the future.
“Our investment in CordeValle Winery is a testament to our belief that the best is yet to come,” said Luca Rutigliano, Managing Director of CordeValle. “We see an exciting opportunity not only to enhance the legacy and distinct character of Clos La Chance Winery, but also to infuse it with the warmth, hospitality, and elevated experiences that define the CordeValle brand. Our aim is to create a winery that remains distinctive yet approachable, making it a welcoming place for the community to gather and celebrate while also discovering the exciting new offerings we’ll be bringing to life.”
Rooted in a passion for exceptional hospitality and craftsmanship, CordeValle Winery is the newest venture from CordeValle, bringing a refined, sense-driven approach to winemaking. Located within the Santa Clara Valley AVA and surrounded by 83 acres of verdant rolling hills and vineyards, CordeValle Winery offers an elevated yet approachable experience that blends the extraordinary beauty of Northern California with impeccable hospitality. With curated events, immersive tasting experiences, and a locally inspired culinary program led by new Executive Chef Tom Esparza, the winery invites guests to slow down and savor every detail. This is more than a vineyard, it’s a destination where community, sustainability and heritage converge.
“Our first step in taking over the winery has been refreshing the property, making much-needed upgrades that will enhance the experience for our guests,” said Luca Rutigliano, Managing Director of CordeValle. “But,this is just the start. We’re also working closely with winemaker Steve Driscoll to refine the winemaking program and appointed Chef Tom Esparza from our talented CordeValle culinary team to elevate the food and wine experience. Just as importantly, we plan to introduce new, expanded programming that makes the winery not only a destination for exceptional wine and cuisine, but also a welcoming place for our community to gather and celebrate together.”
