About the Santa Lucia Highlands
The Santa Lucia Highlands is one of the crown jewels of California viticulture, growing and producing some of the state’s best cool climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. The appellation encompasses 5,000 acres of vineyards planted on the elevated, windy terraces of the Santa Lucia Mountain range near the Monterey Bay. The region’s unique winegrowing character was recognized with official A.V.A. status in 1991. With generations of family farming, innovation, and sustainability as our legacy, our growers and vineyards have earned their place among the world’s most prestigious names for appellation and single-vineyard cool-climate varieties.
Formed in 2005, the Santa Lucia Highlands Wine Artisans is a non-profit association of vineyards and wineries that grow grapes or use the appellation’s fruit to craft their vintage releases.
