Pros

Family owned, not family run anymore, sad. Good benefits and holidays off. Nothing more good to say. They want me to say more good things for the 20 word minimum, but have nothing else.

Cons

Numerous reviews have been deleted from this site, due to pressure from the HR department at Delicato, this site has now lost credibility. Do not come to this site for the truth on Delicato, it’s a corporate company sight. 5 individuals have left reviews in the last 60 days and they all have been erased....no credibility here.

Delicato Family Vineyards is a family owned and family operated organization. We take enormous pride in the wide variety of roles the Indelicato family holds throughout the organization. Family members are in leadership positions such as CEO and COO. In addition, we have family members who serve as brand ambassadors and work in Transportation, Winemaking, our Customer Service department, and the Tasting Room in Manteca. These family members also serve on the board which makes all major decisions regarding the business. With regard to the comment about the removal of recent reviews: this is simply untrue. Delicato has never removed or had removed any reviews. In fact, Glassdoor controls all postings and rarely removes them, even when extremely negative. Although employers may request the removal of postings, Glassdoor rarely does so, often referencing their commitment to transparency and authenticity.

Pros

I am almost 6 months into my time with Delicato and it's been amazing to be a part of this organization. From the start of the recruitment process, through onboarding, and fast forward to now - it's clear to see that leaders here care about their people.

Cons

None that comes to mind.

Pros

They have a generous employee discount.

Cons

Delicato runs on fear and demands conformity. Rather than admit they have no idea what they are doing in running certain "new-to-them" areas of the industry, and seek internal wisdom and counsel of those who have been for years, they choose to rely on "consultants" who have no interest beyond lining their own pockets. Management within departments is purely top-down, and any attempts to innovate or be creative are shut down. Company refuses to provide tools or solutions for people to do their actual jobs, but squash work-arounds, instead prioritizing "figure it out for yourself" as a philosophy, until you actually do.

We strive to create an environment that balances operational discipline with room for innovation and independent thinking. Expectations and structure are important in a winery of our scale, but so is listening to our people and improving how work gets done. Feedback like this is taken seriously as we continue to refine how we lead, invest in our teams, and support meaningful progress across the organization.
