Estancia Vineyards

About Us

Estancia is translated from the Spanish word for “estate,” and emphasizes our conviction that the world’s best wines capture the essence of their place of origin. That has been our philosophy since the creation of Estancia in 1986, when our founder, Agustin Huneeus, bought vineyards in the Monterey town of Soledad, on California’s Central Coast. With over 30 years of experience, Estancia relies on the benefits of boutique-style winemaking techniques, including open top fermentation, gentle punch downs, and barrel aging. It is this crafting of the wines, from grapes to bottle, that results in our consistent and superior wine quality.
