Established in 1989, this meticulously maintained and designed vineyard is nestled within the prestigious Santa Clara Valley AVA, just West of the 101 freeway at the base of Mount Madonna and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Ideally positioned along the Uvas River, this prime location was carefully chosen for its exceptional microclimate—cool coastal fog graces the mornings and evenings, while warm valley days create optimal conditions for premium grape growing, as envisioned by the estate’s founder.

Spanning 72 acres, with 50 acres planted, this thriving vineyard produces an impressive selection of varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot, Petit Sirah, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay, Albariño, Carménère, Grenache, and Sauvignon Blanc. Yields typically range from 5-6 tons per acre, depending on varietal and weather conditions. As part of a long-term strategy for sustainability and efficiency, vineyard blocks have been gradually replanted to ensure strong tonnage while transitioning toward machine harvesting.

The property is well-equipped with two high-production AG wells generating 500 GPM, ensuring consistent irrigation for vineyard operations. A 6,200-square-foot barn provides ample storage for farm equipment, tractors, harvesters, and essential tools, supporting the vineyard’s continued success.

At the heart of the estate is a fully operational, 10,000-square-foot winery facility, offering a turnkey opportunity for a wine label. The facility features an inviting tasting room overlooking both the barrel storage and vineyard, blending modern and rustic aesthetics with industrial concrete countertops, subway tile, and reclaimed barn wood finishes. With two restrooms and a welcoming ambiance, it’s an ideal setting for intimate tastings and events.

Beyond the tasting room, the production facility houses 29 wine storage tanks, a grape press, and extensive barrel storage, all supporting seamless wine production.

Enhancing the estate’s appeal is a picturesque garden and patio space adjacent to the year-round Uvas River, along with a beautiful olive grove event venue. This serene outdoor setting is perfect for hosting weddings, private wine tastings, or exclusive retreats, offering a magical atmosphere surrounded by nature and vineyard views.

Located within Santa Clara County’s esteemed wine region, this extraordinary estate is just 35 minutes from Silicon Valley, offering a rare blend of rural tranquility and urban convenience. A truly irreplaceable opportunity, this property embodies the legacy and future of winemaking in the Valley of the Heart’s Delight.
