Eastside Ranch is our first vineyard, home to our oldest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines. Five distinctive vineyard blocks among 91 planted acres provide fruit for both our sparkling and varietal wine programs. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir thrive in the cool microclimates and Yolo and Clear Lake loam soils of these special sites.
