Talley Winery Details

Talley Vineyards is a family-owned and operated winery that specializes in estate grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines ideally suited for the climate and soils of the Arroyo Grande and Edna Valleys. The Talley’s farming history in the area dates to 1948 when Oliver Talley began growing vegetables in the Arroyo Grande Valley. Guided by this legacy and a commitment to long term sustainability, Talley Vineyards focuses on attention to detail in all aspects of farming and winemaking operations. The goal is to produce distinctive California wines of consistently high quality that best express the unique character of each of the Talley family’s six vineyard sites in the two valleys.
