Olives travel on a conveyer belt and into a wash to start the process of making olive oil a Pietra Santa Winery.

Described by “Wine Enthusiast Magazine” as one of California’s most beautiful wineries and by “Sunset Magazine” as “a hidden gem,” Pietra Santa was founded in the 1850s. This family-owned estate lies in the heart of the Gabilan Mountains, 25 miles east of Monterey Bay, where Maritime breezes and exceptionally rocky soils create an environment ideal for growing wine grapes.  

Pietra Santa is known for making award-winning artisanal wines and olive oils that showcase this unique terroir. The winery is known for its Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and red wines, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, and Zinfandel that is made from vines that are 100 years old.

A historic “Frank Lloyd Wright” home graces the property and is an ideal venue for weddings, corporate and other special events. Tasting room hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
