Deep in the heart of Steinbeck country, nestled between the Arroyo Seco Gorge and the Ventana wilderness, lies Mesa del Sol. Our historic estate and organic winery showcases the best of Monterey County's rugged landscape and elegant wines. We're lucky enough to call this place home and now, we'd like to share it with you.
Arroyo Seco is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located about 20 miles inland from Big Sur. Straddling the Santa Lucia mountain range and the Western edge of Salinas Valley, the region is one of California's earliest recognized AVAs. The Gorge - where Mesa del Sol is perched - shelters the vineyards from gale winds and captures the coastal fog to cool our grapes.

A visit to Mesa del Sol is to travel back in time. It's a return to a simpler era, where the morning starts with the rooster's crow and the day's greatest concern is whether to read a book under the 300-year-old oak, stroll to the pond, or pluck fresh apricots from the orchard for pie. Situated on 14 acres of sustainably farmed vineyards in the upper reaches of the Arroyo Seco River Gorge, Mesa del Sol is the ideal setting to escape the everyday.
Our Wines
Report
Nestled between the Santa Lucia Highlands and the Salinas Valley, Arroyo Seco is one of California's earliest recognized AVAs. Mesa del Sol sits at the western edge of the AVA, where lean, rocky soils drive our vines' roots deep into the ground. Our vines are irrigated from a thriving trout pond feeding them with living water.
Our Heritage
Report
Mesa del Sol's unique location and stunning views have made it a desirable destination for almost 200 years. Situated on a sun-filled mesa overlooking the sparkling Arroyo Seco River, the property was first established as a stagecoach stop in the late 1800s. Travelers headed overland to Carmel Valley or up the Arroyo Seco River to Mission San Antonio would stop to water their horses and stretch their legs.
