Does Donald Trump still own Trump Winery?

Answered by Charles Pate

As of my knowledge in 2021, Donald Trump does not own Trump Winery. The vineyard was indeed purchased by Donald Trump back in April 2011. However, it is important to note that the vineyard was later transferred to his son Eric Trump and has been operated under Eric Trump Manufacturing LLC since 2012.

I must admit that I have never had the pleasure of trying any wines from Trump Winery. As a sommelier and brewer, I am always open to exploring new wines and expanding my knowledge in the field. However, I understand that Trump Winery has gained some attention and popularity over the years.

It is interesting to note that Trump Winery is located within the Monticello viticultural area, which is known for its wine production. Being a part of the Monticello Wine Trail, Trump Winery is surrounded by other wineries, creating a vibrant wine culture in the region.

While I don't have personal experiences or encounters with Trump Winery, I believe it is crucial to approach any winery or wine with an open mind. Each winery has its unique style, terroir, and winemaking techniques that contribute to the diversity and richness of the wine world.

Donald Trump does not currently own Trump Winery. It is now owned and operated by his son Eric Trump under Eric Trump Wine Manufacturing LLC. Although I haven't had the opportunity to taste their wines myself, I acknowledge the significance of Trump Winery within the Monticello viticultural area and the broader Monticello Wine Trail.
