Ventana Vineyards

Ventana Vineyards is the "Most Award Winning Single Vineyard in America". For over thirty years, Ventana has essentially been a research vineyard - the result of Doug Meador's single-minded dedication to earn Monterey County a respected place on the California wine map. This accomplishment is due in part to his research and dedication to solving the challenges and reaping the rewards of cold climate viticulture. Some of Meador's innovations include close vine spacing and split canopy trellising - methods that protect the vines from wind and open the grapes to sunlight and air circulation. This increases yields while improving overall fruit quality. Doug also tackled clonal vine research finding that many vines were mislabeled and were not the best varietals or clones for Monterey's cool growing region.
