Andrew Mattei ( – 1931) was a Swiss-Italian winemaker who immigrated to Fresno, California, where he became the owner of a large winery.
Mattei came to Fresno County, California, in approximately 1890, and founded the Mattei Winery in 1893. By 1915, his winery was valued at ten million dollars and was reported as "among the largest in the state"; As well as wine, the winery also sold grape syrup and brandy. Once again called the Mattei Building, it remains the 7th tallest building in Fresno. Despite Mattei's fears, the Mattei Winery and its Mattevista Wines brand name continued to operate after the repeal of Prohibition, and lasted until 1962, when it was sold to Guild Wineries.
