Talley Winery Details
Talley Vineyards
Talley Vineyards makes distinctive, handcrafted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines that reflect the unique character of each of their vineyards in the Arroyo Grande and Edna Valleys on California's South Central Coast.
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.
- Tasting Room: Talley Vineyards was nominated for “Best Tasting Room” in Sunset Magazine’s Western Wine Awards.
- History: The Talley family started growing specialty vegetables in the Arroyo Grande Valley in 1948. Today, second and third generation family members continue that tradition through Talley Farms.
- Philosophy: Talley Vineyards’ winemaking operation was designed to maximize the influence of the vineyard through minimal processing of the grapes into wines.
- Farming: Each of the Talley wines is produced from vines planted, owned and farmed by the Talley family, ensuring high quality, consistency, and long-term sustainability.
- Winemaking: Winemaker Leslie Mead is committed to the primacy of terroir, employing traditional Burgundian methods in the cellar to produce their distinctive and complex wines.
