About us:
Mount Eden Vineyards is a small historic wine estate perched at 2000 feet overlooking Silicon
Valley in the Santa Cruz Mountain Appellation, about 50 miles south of San Francisco. Founded
in 1945, it is recognized as one of the original “boutique” California winery properties, focusing
on small lots of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Mount Eden’s lineage of
estate bottled Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is the longest in California. Planted in austere,
infertile Franciscan shale on a cool, exposed mountaintop, these low-yielding estate vineyards
have consistently produced world-class wines for over 80 years.
In 2007, Mount Eden purchased a nearby mountaintop wine estate. This property inspired a
new wine brand, Domaine Eden, which focuses on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from this special
site and Bordeaux varieties from Mount Eden’s larger home, the Santa Cruz Mountains.
