Viansa is the winery on a little hill south of Jacuzzi Winery, with its driveway entrance just below (north of) the curvy, dangerous looking part of Highway 121. Viansa recently unveiled a $6 million “updating” of the winery and a rebranding as Viansa Sonoma. It’s the latest of several changes the winery has undergone since its founding over a quarter century ago. Vicky and Sam Sebastiani (hence the name from Vi’ an’ Sa) built the winery as their Italianesque dream at the turn of the 1990s after Sam left his position as president the family’s Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery following a family dispute. As a parting gift, mother Sylvia Sebastiani gave Sam the Sebastiani Theatre, which he eventually sold to some Oakland developers, who still own the theater. Sonoma Index Tribune 8/25/16
