Quick Facts Location, Coordinates ...

Established in 1852, the Old Almaden Winery was the oldest winery in California,[2] and the site is designated as a California Historical Landmark.[1]

The winery is no longer in operation - the Almaden Vineyards company moved to Madera, California, and the vestigial remains of the property have been made into a public park. Much of the prior winery grounds have also been converted to single family homes, following a series of environmental planning studies.[3][4]
