Chalone Vineyard, Historic winery in Monterey County, California, US
The vineyard spans across the Gavilan Mountains at 1,800 feet elevation, with limestone-rich soil and extreme temperature variations throughout each day.
Founded in 1919 by Charles L. Tamm, the vineyard maintained grape production during Prohibition by selling grapes for sacramental wines in Monterey County.
The 1974 Chardonnay from Chalone achieved third place at the 1976 Judgment of Paris, establishing California wines in international markets.
The new tasting room in Carmel-by-the-Sea offers wine selections paired with local artisan cheeses from The Cheese Shop at Ocean Avenue.
The soil contains limestone and calcium carbonate with decomposed granite, sharing mineral characteristics with the Champagne region of France.
