the San Antonio Winery. In 1917 Santo Cambianica left his home in Italy and settled in Lincoln Heights to open up the winery. In hope of good fortune in this new country, Santo dedicated the winery to Saint Anthony, his patron saint.

While many wineries went bankrupt during Prohibition, he cleverly survived by making sacramental wines for the Catholic Church. In 1938, Santo's nephew Stefano Riboli refined and expanded his uncle's company. His family still makes wines for the church today as well as wines for the general public. It is one of the last wineries in Los Angeles and has been declared a cultural historical monument.
