Our Team






John & Rondi Nale, Owners
John Nale had worked his family’s vineyards for decades and always dreamed about making wine. His son Cole approached him, inspired by a family trip to Croatia, and convinced him that now was the time to build a winery. He has a larger-than-life personality who loves sharing the family vision for wine-making. But he’s just as likely to be out in the vineyards with his sleeves rolled up as he is to be in the tasting room.
Rondi Nale is responsible for all the creativity you see around the tasting room. If you visit, she will probably be one of the first to greet you. The “unseen side” of Rondi is the hardworking manager making everything work smoothly in the background.

Cole Nale, Winemaker
Cole Nale was the first of the Nale family to get excited about wine-making. He convinced his father to start the venture that has become Ziveli Winery. He is now the lead winemaker of all of Ziveli’s newest creations.
