Ziveli Winery
The bend in the San Joaquin River cradles lush vineyards where the history of Croatian winemaking springs to life. We are the Nale family, and this is our home. Our connection to the old country brings the coastal Dalmation heritage of Croatia's wines to the most fertile farmland in the world. Ziveli wines are like us - European roots with a decidedly Californian twist.

In fact, the names of our wines are reflective of our connection to the San Joaquin Valley and the important role the river plays in our growing operation. This is a place to be "in the moment." Every design detail of our facility and wine production process is an expression of our family's love of each other and our zest for life.
Services
Ziveli Winery was created by the Nale family. We are proud to bring the spirit of Croatian wine to the San Joaquin Valley. Our roots are in the Dalmatian region, directly across the Adriatic Sea from Italy. We share the same Mediterranean climate and zest for life, so it's no surprise that we love growing grapes and making incredible wine.
Our tasting room spreads out into a 5,000 square foot barn where you can enjoy and purchase our wines, or join us for one of our special events. The rustic interior is a perfect match to the mood of the surrounding vineyards. Come on out, relax, and enjoy a country afternoon with a glass of wonderful wine.
We will replace or refund you for any bottle of wine that is damaged, flawed or that the customer finds unsatisfactory. We ask the customer return the unfinished portion of the original bottle for replacement. By law, we cannot accept returns of alcoholic beverages unless the product is corked, or flawed.

My friends had been here before and raved about their brick oven pizza so we ordered a cheese pizza and Hawaiian style (cant remember the exact name). We ended up ordering a third of the Hawaiian since it was SO good! The cabernet was not my favorite but to each their own. I would definitely come back for the pizza and atmosphere! The grounds are beautiful and would great for hosting a small event.

Attended a wine tasting event. Thanks to covid, it was more of a dinner. Worked out fine as there was 10 of us. So we each get a different bottle and shared. They had a stone oven pizza vendor that was amazing. Music was nice.
Will definitely be back!

What a great winery. So pretty. Has a nice indoor venue as well. Lots of trees. Frozen wine.
We did line dancing and listened to John Pemberton sing live. Not gonna fib it a ways out there in Biola . But completely worth it.

What a great venue. The locatoln is beautiful out in the country nice cool breeze and shade. The brick fired pizza was very good and the wine selection was great. When I was there they had live entertainment although not sure if this is all the time. Highly recommended if you want a nice relaxing afternoon enjoying some tasty pizza and your favorite wine.

Every wine is unique. Each varietal is pleasantly different than what you'd expect. The smoke on the Cabernet and Alicante is excellent.

LOVE this winery. They have a gorgeous venue with a barn style inside wine bar that has romantic lighting strung and plenty of seating out of the sun. Outside they have bench style seats with tables to enjoy in the sun or under the shade of their beautiful trees. There's also a few corn hole games set up for some fun!
Not to mention their onsite Brick L'Oven is some of the best pizza in the valley and pairs soooo well with their scrumptious wine.
Perfect for wine tasting with friends or if you're looking for a wedding venue for your special day.

We went here for a family wedding and the location was beautiful. The ground are not huge but they accommodate very well. The ladies serving wine were very fun and knowledgeable about the choices available. The indoor venue was perfect and had plenty of space with great decor. Ended up with two bottles myself to take for later. Will definitely be back for a tasting.

Ziveli Winery is an oasis in a stressed out world. From the moment you step into the sun dappled property you see green grass, blue skies, beautifully rustic picnic tables socially distanced and you hear the laughter of happy patrons and classic Sinatra music. It's a respite from the stresses of Covid. Feeling bad that you're leaving your four legged friend at home? Don't! Bring your furry child! They are dog friendly. Tintin a gorgeous golden Labrador welcomes every dog upon entrance and keeps the peace. All in all this is THE place to come for AMAZING wines and Fantasic Brick L

My experiences at Ziveli have been mostly pleasant. Employees are always friendly, the
atmosphere is pleasant and they have a pizza vendor on site. But the biggest drawback for me was their response during Covid. Their staff doesn't bother to wear masks nor do they require guests to wear masks. The pizza vendor, Brick L'Oven, does not use masks or gloves while preparing food. There is no table sanitizing happening and no hand sanitizer readily available throughout the venue. I understand small businesses are struggling during Covid. As a customer, it's disheartening to see that they

This place is cute, but unfortunately, that's all it really has going for it. If you believe that COVID exists and isn't a hoax, steer clear from here. There are literally zero COVID precautions being taken and we felt extremely uncomfortable the entire time we were there. We were looked at like we were aliens for wearing masks. NONE of the employees wore masks and social distancing didn't exist. The inside of the barn was packed with people and we could barely get to the register to order wine. People crowded the tasting area, and behind the counter of the tasting area were several

Ziveli Winery is a cute winery located inside of a barn! I love how there are cute dogs inside that welcome you when you enter the winery. This place also is quite cheap! It's only $5 for 6 types of wine for tasting. The servers here are all super nice too. Would recommend anyone to go here!

We have been visiting Ziveli for several years now and every time we visit we are more and more impressed with their amazing wine, pizza and hospitality. We would spend every weekend at Ziveli if we could! We had a wedding reception, family reunion and birthday party in the beautiful barn and attended Mother's Day Valentines Day and wine and food pairing events. We are never disappointed! Thank you John and Rondi and your entire family for providing the Fresno area with superb wine, food and ambiance! See you soon.

Wonderful staff. Reasonably priced. I thought their wines were really good but I think they have a lot of room for growth in the flavor profiles. I loved their back story about Croatia. Their tasting fee is very inexpensive but they don’t waive it with purchase (I would’ve even bought multiple bottles) which is too bad. They also aren’t wearing masks which surprised me and was a little disappointing. But I really liked the property, the woman who served us was fantastic and I like their wine better than others in the area. Keep developing your wines and you’ll be outstanding in the Central

Beautiful location with a great selection of wine. I tried the rivers trio which was sweet and delicious. Definitely recommend it. I'm not a huge wine lover but I could drink that one with every meal. I also tried the white Zinfandel which was pretty good considering the fact that I'm not a huge wine lover to begin with. I loved the atmosphere of the location and the staff was very pleasant. It was gorgeous inside with plenty of seating. It has a very romantic feel and great for a relaxing date night.

THE PEOPLE THAT WORK HERE ARE SO AWESOME. The tasting was $5 and they had some decent red wine. A super unique winery and experience. Brought in my friends from Korea who had never tasted before and the pourer made their experience awesome. Keep on rocking!!
