Doffo Winery

Today my friend Mike and I rode with the Orange County Ducati Club (OCDC) down to the Doffo Winery in Temecula. The owner of the winery, Marcello Doffo is a motorcycle enthusiast and was hosting a charity event for a poverty stricken school in Argentina that he is helping out.

We met up with about 16 other riders down in San Juan Capistrano, before taking the Ortega Hwy over to Lake Elsinore, then down to Temecula.

There were about 100 riders from 3 different Ducati Clubs at the Doffo Winery. Although Mike is riding a Kawasaki we still let him ride with us . You can see his KLR hiding in there amongst the fine Italian machines.
Marcello also had on display his personal motorcycle collection. Which was about 25 motorcycles, most of them were vintage and extremely rare.
And of course what would any Italian's garage be without a Ferrari?
For a $10 donation to the charity the Doffo Winery provided lunch and a glass of wine
To also raise money for the charity, BikeBandit was there and had a bunch of stuff to raffle off. I bought some tickets and won this awesome Cortech leather jacket.
