He made sure that before any vine was planted, the soil quality was of superior quality to that found in California wine country. The root stocks were hand selected to ensure that the vines would yield the highest quality grapes and make the most exquisite wine. At the end of 2020, the winery was acquired by the Spencer family (Micah, Ginger and their 2 daughters Violet and Twyla).

If it were possible to post more than "5 stars" I definitely would! The owners of Cella Winery are truly great. They enjoy taking care of their visitors and fulfilling their orders. I purchase wine for gifts and everybody says it is the best wine they have ever tasted. Highly recommend this winery for tasting and orders (as they ship to a majority of the USA)

Cella wines is a nice old world feel. The family who runs this Vineyard know what they are doing. There are several reds , which made me extremely happy!!! Great conversation with the owner about Italy and passing down family traditions.
Make the drive from the Las Vegas Valley, the wine is just as well made if not better then California wines!!!

We drove down from Vegas to try the two wineries outside Kingman after reading great reviews. Reviews were right on the money. Cella is a Napa Valley style building, very surprising in the middle of the desert. First class experience tasting the wines and visiting with Carlos, the owner. The drive from Kingman is fun and beautiful on old Route 66. Really a great experience. See my review also on Stetson Winery, next door. Both are excellent.

I went with my uncle and father to Cella Winery in November 2018. I was the DD, while they enjoyed tasting the wines. (I tried them at home and loved Gia/Gina Mia the best!!) The winemaker is absolutely delightful, entertaining, and helpful. He and my dad ended up discussing how to make spaghetti sauce, and because of this, we ended up going home and making spaghetti. Mr. Cella explained the process of winemaking clearly and made it easy to understand. The wines were fantastic and utterly delicious. My dad doesn't like sherry at all and ended up LOVING the sherry here. The wines are made Italian

We recently moved to Kingman, AZ and were pleasantly surprised to find this winery. We've visited a few times, the first time we tasted the wines and then return visit to purchase more of the wine that we tasted. If you are in the Kingman area you have to put this one on your list, you won't be disappointed!

Don't cut yourself short ...make the drive to Cella Winery, Carlos (proprietor & winemaker) has been in the wine industry with his family his entire life. Carlos is a third generation Argentinian winemaker ...for those familiar with Doffo Winery (Temecula, Ca) Carlos makes very similar wines.
Standouts:
Merlot
Cab
Malbec
Winner goes to "2015 Private Reserve Malbec" ...they were ALL sincerely great, although their Malbec was special.
SOOO DELICIOUS!!
IF we would had known their was a legit winemaker in Kingman we would have paid Cella Winery a visit long ago! Carlos

We talked about visiting Cella Winery for years, and finally this weekend my friend and I made it happen. We were both so happy with the experience. Great wine and excellent customer service. Definitely want to add this establishment on to your to do list! We'll be returning soon...after we finish the delicious bottle of Nicolino that we took home with us!

Wonderful family owed and operated winery. Great Italian style wines and awesome customer service. You can walk the vineyards or sit out on their patio while you relax with your glass and enjoy the views. You've gotta make the trip out here if youre in town. You won't be disappointed. We'll definitely be back!

We had an absolutely amazing tasting experience. The owner is genuine and a true entrepreneur. I was so happy to support a small business, especially since the wine was second to none. I would definitely recommend driving out from Kingman. I would also recommend doing the 10-wine tasting versus 5... there are just some great tasting wines on the menu.

When in Kingman and a lover of wine...this should be added to the list of places to visit.
I will admit, I wasn't exactly sure what kind of wines could be made in Arizona and if they could produce anything worth drinking...Well we were pleasantly surprised. The service here was great, we chatted with the owner, mostly about soccer and but also about wine. The two things I love in life.
As for the wines, everything was pretty good. While the Merlot was a favorite of ours, we really liked the Malbec.

Stopped in on a rainy Friday in January and ended up very pleased that we had. Owner Carlos was a modest, gracious host and shared bits of information about his family and background as well as his wines. He explained how he had come to begin growing grapes there and why it is such a quality location for vineyards. We really are not fans of white wines, but the ones he served as part of our tasting were quite good. The reds really shone, though, and they testify to his dedication to making wines that are smooth from start to finish. We will return, and highly recommend that anybody visiting the

Popped in unannounced after confusing this winery for another, further down the road. Carlos welcomed us in and treated us kindly as if we were old friends. His merlots are highly recommended. The dessert merlot from his own vines was phenomenal, but be prepared for some heavy earth tones from the other kingman grown grapes. A lovely touch of Italy in the middle of the desert.

Omg!!! This place is an absolute blast! Beautiful tasting room that transports you to the best wine tasting regions. Delicious wines and very generous tasting fee. $5 for 5 tastes, including estate too! Love love love. Will be back for sure. Hopefully you get some alone time with Carlos, he not only had some great stories, but gave good advice too.
