Description

This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase one of the first wineries and tasting rooms along Highway 46 West, nestled within the Templeton Gap AVA. This 40-acre estate fronts Highway 46 West, with 36 acres planted with Malbec, Cabernet, Barbera, Merlot, and other varietals. The improvements include a residence, tasting room, production and storage buildings, and beautifully cultivated vineyards along the scenic highway. The 2,100-square-foot residence is also situated on a knoll, providing stunning views of West Templeton and the Santa Lucia Mountains. This three-bedroom, two-bath home features an open-concept living area, a stacked stone fireplace, engineered reclaimed barn wood flooring, and much more. The 12' x 60' deck is an excellent outdoor entertaining space. Some believe this location served as the headquarters for the original Spanish land grant, though that remains unconfirmed. The winery has been operational for approximately 27 years and has a use permit for a 15,000-case capacity. The tasting room is about 1,100 square feet, complete with a bar area, retail space, and an ADA-compliant bathroom. Outside, you will find two insulated production and storage buildings featuring a backup generator, measuring approximately 2,500 square feet and 1,280 square feet, respectively. The property has an 8-inch well with a 30-horsepower variable pump, a filtration system, and an irrigation well. The additional three legal parcels each have wells that are not currently in use.
