Eden Rift Vineyards

Eden Rift Vineyards is a California winery located in the Cienega Valley AVA, just 20 miles from Monterey Bay. The estate, planted in 1849 by Theophile Vache, is the oldest continually producing vineyard in the state and rests on the San Andreas Faultline. Known for its Burgundy-like limestone soil, Eden Rift focuses on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a range of expressions including single-block Pinots and Reserve Chardonnays. The winery's critically-acclaimed Chardonnays have been praised by Wine Access as "one of the most exciting California Chardonnays we've tried in the last decade." Visitors can explore the estate through various experiences, including ATV tours, helicopter rides, and private events, with tasting reservations available Thursday-Sunday. The winery's Club 1849 offers members exclusive access to first releases, intimate events, and more. Under the guidance of Christian Pillsbury and winemaker Cory Waller, Eden Rift has revitalized its focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, capitalizing on the unique terroir and dramatic soils that have challenged grape varieties for over 150 years.
