McIntyre Family Wines

Walk-ins Welcome

The McIntyre Estate Vineyard lies in the “sweet spot” of Monterey County’s Santa Lucia Highlands AVA, a 12-mile stretch of benchland renowned for producing wines of character and complexity. Originally planted in 1973, the 80-acre site (60 acres planted) boasts some of the Highlands’ oldest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines. The winery’s other estate property is the 81-acre Kimberly Vineyard in Arroyo Seco. Proprietor Steve McIntyre is one of the most knowledgeable viticulturists in California. As owner/operator of Monterey Pacific, he farms 12,000 acres in Monterey County. The McIntyre Estate Vineyard was among the first properties in the Santa Lucia Highlands to be SIP (Sustainability In Practice) Certified. Come and enjoy a taste of our wines in our Carmel Valley Village location. Our location boasts award winning wines from the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. Our farmer, sustainably grown and hand harvested grapes will surely entice all your taste buds. Enjoy our outdoor patio for an afternoon with your family and friends (two or four legged). Call 831-574-3042 for tasting room information. Reserve your spot in advance (walk ins welcome) and our knowledgeable staff look forward to serving you!
