Welcome to Domaine Della

Crafting exceptional wines that express the unique terroir of our vineyards, where tradition meets innovation in every bottle.

Domaine Della is a luxury, artisan producer of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, crafted in extremely limited quantities. Our wines are sourced from the most exceptional vineyards in the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Santa Lucia Highlands.

Founded by David Hejl, Domaine Della began as a passion project during his tenure as CEO and General Manager of Kosta Browne. After successfully leading the company to a landmark sale in 2015, David pursued his dream of creating a luxury wine label. Domaine Della is a tribute to his mother, an extraordinary woman who raised eleven children and left an indelible legacy.

In 2025, we proudly celebrate 15 years of winemaking excellence with the release of our 2023 vintage. Our recent vintages have earned widespread acclaim, with ratings of 93-99 points from leading wine critics.

Domaine Della wines are released exclusively to our active list members three times a year. Join our list to experience the artistry and passion behind every bottle.

"The only reason to go here is if you want to taste the finest Pinot Noirs California has to offer, and meet with, perhaps, the most charming winemaker in California to boot. Otherwise it's just amazing Chardonnay and a beautiful facility."
