Wine features prominently in Catholicism, both sacramentally — becoming the blood of Christ during the consecration at Mass — and symbolically, as Jesus frequently used a vineyard in his parables.
For Catholics, the wedding at Cana, when Jesus turned water into wine, is typically seen as prefiguring the Eucharist but also an affirmation that wine can be a tasteful — and tasty — way to celebrate.
Within the diocese, several parishioners continue the tradition of wine-making. Get to know these Catholic-owned wineries, learn what makes each one unique and see how their faith and work intertwine.
