Every Wine & Wills gathering is intimate, unhurried, and entirely pressure-free. Come curious — leave with clarity.

🍷

Wine & Good Company

The Altisima event includes a complimentary wine tasting. All events include light refreshments in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Honest Legal Guidance

Deanna presents estate planning fundamentals in plain language — no legalese, no sales pitch, just the truth about what protects your family and what doesn't.

💬

Open Q&A

Ask the questions you've put off for years — about wills, trusts, guardianship, whatever keeps you up at night — in a warm and welcoming setting.

📋

Resources to Take Home

Leave with a personalized planning checklist. Linger after the event for a one-on-one chat with Deanna, or book a private follow-up at your own pace.

Your Guide

A different kind of attorney

Deanna DeCosimo founded DeCosimo Law because she believes every family deserves an estate plan that truly works — not a stack of documents that sits in a drawer. She created Wine & Wills to make these conversations feel as natural and warm as they should be. Come meet her — no briefcase required.

"My goal is for every family to leave with a sense of peace — not overwhelm. Estate planning is one of the most loving things you can do for the people you care about most."

— Deanna DeCosimo, Founder & Attorney
"We put off estate planning for years. Wine & Wills made it feel completely approachable — we finally got our trust done within two weeks of attending. Worth every minute."
— Michael & Sarah R., Temecula

Common Questions

Things people often wonder

Is there a cost to attend?

There is no charge to attend. The Altisima Winery event includes a complimentary wine tasting; all events include light refreshments. There is absolutely no obligation to retain our firm.

Can I bring my spouse or partner?

Please do — we warmly encourage it. Estate planning affects the whole household, and couples often find the conversation most valuable when they're together. Just register both names so we can save two seats.

Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?

Not at all. Simply bring yourself and any questions you've been carrying. We'll provide a brief pre-event questionnaire if you'd like to think ahead — but it's entirely optional.

What topics are covered?

Every session covers core estate planning: wills, revocable living trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, beneficiary designations, and more. Expand the "See Topics" section on either event card for the full list.

What happens after the event?

Deanna stays after each event for informal conversation — no appointment needed. If you'd like to go deeper, you can book a private follow-up to talk through your family's specific situation. Completely at your discretion, always.
