A recognized pioneer, and the oldest bonded winery in Monterey, Chalone Vineyard is the one-and-only winery in the Chalone appellation. While the grapes for Chalone Vineyard Estate come from their high mountain estate, the grapes for the Monterey County wines come from distinct vineyards in the 75-mile long Salinas Valley, which begins in Monterey Bay and runs southeastward.
