With a start in a tin shed in 1946, the founder of D'Aquino Bros Pty Ltd, Carmelo D'Aquino, produced six barrels of wine and started the first winemaking family in the Orange district.
With a third generation D'Aquino and Roseworthy College graduate now running the company, Rex D'Aquino has continued to expand the business that now incorporates distillery, wholesale and contract bottling whilst remaining involved in the winemaking.
D'Aquinos is a co-owner of NILWA (National Independent Liquor Wholesalers Association) which has distribution outlets throughout Australia servicing over 14,000 customers.
