History

1832

Theophile Vaché leaves France for California and establishes one of the first vineyards in the Vineyard District of San Benito.

Theophile’s nephews, Aldolfe, Emile, and Theophile, join him and together they found a wine-importing business in downtown Los Angeles, California.

The nephews move to Redlands, buy land next to a picturesque stream, and Brookside Winery is born.

Brookside Winery purchases Segundo Gusti’s 4,000 acres of vineyards in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

1968

Brookside opened 36 retail stores in California, Arizona and Illinois.

Tim Bacino, the sixth generation of the Vaché and Biane families, has a spiritual calling to resurrect his family’s tradition and legacy of winemaking. GEN 7 Wines is named for his daughter, Gabriella, the 7th generation of the Vaché family.
