Presqu'ile Winery, in California's Santa Maria Valley, has expanded its art programming by installing an Inciardi Mini Print Vending Machine in its tasting room, becoming the first winery in the U.S. to host the artist's coin-operated art concept.

Created by artist Ana Inciardi, the machine dispenses original linocut prints inspired by food, wine and everyday experiences, offering visitors a small collectible artwork selected at random, according to a press release.

Winery officials said the installation reflects Presqu'ile's broader approach to hospitality, which integrates art, food and wine. The winery also plans to collaborate with Inciardi to produce exclusive prints tied to the local landscape and culture. Rotating seasonal designs are intended to encourage repeat visits and allow guests to build collections.

Ana Inciardi launched the mini print vending machine project in 2020 and has since placed the machines at select cultural and design-focused locations, including the New York Botanical Garden, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Grand Central Terminal. The installation at Presqu'ile represents an expansion of the concept into hospitality venues.

Presqu'ile Winery, a family-owned estate founded in 2007, is known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay produced from sustainably farmed vineyards. The winery positions itself as a destination offering curated tasting experiences that combine wine, art and the surrounding environment.
