Get to know us
An immigration to America from Sardinia started a new life for young Mario Lai. Knowing little to no English, he worked as a porter, bar back and eventually bartender, learning English and American culture while trying to make a living. Eventually the hard work and little savings he mustered paid off and he opened his first bar of his own. Just a dream of coming to America for a better life and the will to do whatever it took to make it happen, Mario opened his first business, entitling the company "Salvation Inc."
Fast forward many years, Salvation Winery was started by his son as a way to keep Mario's name and legacy moving forward. In 2010 he started producing his first wines as a hobby, giving them away and donating them as practice. Many reviews and the typical "you should sell this stuff" comments later and we opened Salvation Winery to the online community for bottle sales specializing in Italian wines from his fathers birthplace. Our first sales we committed to donating to local animal rescues and shelters and started expanding that mission to other charities. Currently we are back at it, creating wines for everyday enjoyment, custom labels for all events and adding a Baked Goods section to go along with our wines.
"Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High. Genesis 14:18 "
