Open:Â Year Round
Chalk Hill Estate is a ruggedly beautiful 1,477 acre estate. Surrounded by heritage oak woodlands and natural riparian streams, a scant 350 vineyard acres meander a patchwork of 60 different small vineyards, each dedicated to producing distinctive wines of elegance and power.The winery is owned by Fred Furth and William P. (Bill) Foley II. The wine at Chalk Hill Estate Vineyards is produced by Lisa Bishop Forbes. where Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay vines are cultivated. The fruit is grown in small lots to retain as much flavor as possible. Wine tastings are like events, complete with a chef to prepare small plates to complement the wines. The Estate Pavilion, Red Wine Aging Cellar, Olympic-sized riding arena, and a small chapel on the property are also worth taking a look at.
