Acacia Winery, Wine estate in Carneros Valley, California
Acacia Winery is a wine producer in Carneros Valley, California, that specializes in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across a large vineyard estate. The operation focuses on grapes grown specifically in vineyard blocks identified for their distinctive qualities.
Established in 1979, the winery pioneered an approach of producing separately designated wines from different vineyard blocks. This method helped shape Carneros Valley into a recognized wine region with distinct character.
The name references a single Acacia tree that grows among the grapevines, becoming a recognizable landmark on the property.
The property spreads across rolling hills with views of the bay, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended for exploring the grounds. Early morning visits often offer better lighting for appreciating the vineyard landscape and seeing the property clearly.
Some Pinot Noir vines on the property reach back decades in age, and these mature plantings shape the depth of wines produced here. The older vines contribute qualities that can only develop over many years of growth.
