Wente Family Vineyards

Wente Family Vineyards is the oldest continuously-operated, family-owned winery in the country. The wines draw from 3000 acres of estate-grown, sustainably farmed vineyards in the Livermore Valley, San Francisco Bay and Arroyo Seco, Monterey appellations. Our winery is owned and managed by the fourth and fifth generations of the Wente Family, who are recognized for their influence in making Chardonnay the #1 selling variety in the country, based on numerous accomplishments over the past 140 years. Our development of the Wente clone spread to thousands of vineyards across California, and our family was the first to introduce a varietally-labeled California Chardonnay. We are proud to be recognized as “California’s First Family of Chardonnay.”
