district just northeast of downtown, on Lamar Street just south of North Main Street. The winery also operates a restaurant and banquet hall.

History

In 1917, Santo Cambianica, an Italian man from the northern Italy province of Lombardy, immigrated to Los Angeles and started the winery at its current location. Hoping for good luck, he dedicated the winery to Saint Anthony (in Italian: San Antonio) by naming it as such. When Prohibition was enacted in 1920, Cambianica asked for permission from the Catholic Church to continue operating his winery for communion wine. Granted such permission, he continued the winery's life. Today, the vineyards have been developed with dense, heavy industry, however, it has been declared as historical monument #42 in the city of Los Angeles.
