Kings River Winery sits on the 40 acre farm that owner Bob Bagdasarian was raised on as a child. Since 1954, Bob and his family have grown everything from grapes for wine and raisins, to peaches, plums, and apricots on this little piece of paradise south of Fresno. In 2012, Bob decided to follow his passion and focus only on what he loves most, wine. He planted 12 different varietals of wine grapes on the 40 acres and began building a state of the art winery, with wine making equipment unmatched by any winery in this region. Adding the finishing touches in 2014, Bob’s vision for a premium boutique winery, that would also fill the need for special event venues in the area, finally came to fruition.

Nestled next to the San Joaquin River and hidden among the vineyards, Ziveli Winery features a tasting room and 5,000-square-foot barn. You will discover that the names of the wines are reflective of the family’s connection to the Central San Joaquin Valley and the important role the river plays in the farming operation. Designed to create a place to be “in the moment,” every detail of the facility and wine production process is an expression of the family’s love of each other and zest for life. Ziveli (pronounced zhe vah lee’), or rather Živjeli, is the Croatian word for “Cheers” and serves as the mantra for how the family wants its customers to enjoy what they've created. Raise a glass and celebrate what’s most important: joy, love and quality.
