Cardwell Hill Cellars Description
Along the southernmost slope of Cardwell Hill, the vineyard encompasses a total of 57 acres. Thirty-eight acres are now planted with Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris Vines. Eighty-five percent of the plantings are Pinot Noir.
Cardwell Hill Cellars is also certified "LIVE" (Low Input Viticulture and Enology). Modeled after international standards as established under the auspices of the International Organization for Biological Control, this highly regarded certification program provides growers with a list of vineyard practices that are either prohibited or required. They are also certified salmon safe.
The tasting room is showcased by a 14-foot-long oak bar; casual groupings of tables and chairs; and a broad, wrap-around terrace that offers a great view of the vineyards.
From early May through Thanksgiving weekend, the tasting room is open daily from 12 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. Tours and off-season tastings are available, year-round, by appointment. Visitors are invited to bring a picnic to enjoy on the winery terrace that provides a panoramic perspective of the vineyards, the distinctive Coast Range foothills that surround this picturesque valley and, atop all, famed Mary’s Peak.
