Chris Yazinski and his wife Kadie are the owners of Ceccoli Vineyards. They met in 2017 in Dallas/Fort Worth and quickly realized that they had a love for each other but also a good bottle of wine. From their first trip together to Temecula, California to Chris proposing at a winery, they always seemed to find wine at the heart of their relationship. Chris being a white-wine drinker and Kadie being a red-wine lover, the saying is true, opposites do attract. They married in 2021 and had their first baby in December 2022.
Wanting to raise their baby near family, Chris stumbled across a listing for 17 acres that just so happened to feature a winery on the property. Ceccoli Vineyards, although just a far-out dream at first, became an opportunity to combine their passion for not only wine, but also the idea of being homesteaders like Chris’s great-grandfather, John Ceccoli.
Today, you can find Chris & Kadie enjoying wine with guests, members & loved ones, toasting another serene sunset over the small-town charm of Winnie, Texas.
The name Ceccoli, pays homage to the owner’s great-grandfather, John Ceccoli, who immigrated from Italy in the early 1920s to avoid communism and experience the American Dream. He believed in living off the land from gardening, butchering, curing meats and producing wine. The inspiration to resurrect the name is more than an opportunity to tell the family’s story and share the history but the ability to celebrate what was and the legacy that remains.
