Meet the Winemaker 

Julianne Donnini is co-owner and winemaker at Auburn Road. Her winemaking career began the traditional way – with a degree in literature from St. Joseph’s University and a law degree from Villanova Law School. She practiced law for ten years in Philadelphia specializing in commercial litigation – both living and working in the city. A long way from life in the city, Julianne is now the mother of sons in college, an entrepreneur, and a self-taught winemaker with a passion for creating the high-quality wine which is the centerpiece of the agri-tourism experience at Auburn Road. Hers is an old world style – small batch fermentation, gentle use of oak, and a keen sense of balance as a frame to present the beauty of the fruit.
