<\/a>Once home to an Arabian horse farm, the design of Bridlewood Winery pays homage to California’s historic missions with a Spanish-style bell tower, breezy verandas and a fountain\u00a0surrounded by a stone courtyard. However, these\u00a0days it’s all about the wine.<\/p>\nBridlewood Wines<\/h2>\n
\nBridlewood’s range of critically acclaimed Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet
\nSauvignon, and blended wines speak to the passion of the winemakers.<\/p>\n
“We spend a lot of time in the vineyards up and down the Central Coast, talking with growers and searching for grapes that will give us a diverse “spice box” of flavors. Back in the winery, we blend small batches of different vineyard lots together to bring out their best flavor characteristics.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Each glass tells the rich story of Central Coast wines: the adventurous spirit, the relaxed lifestyle, the fresh local foods, and the incredible vineyards and vistas.<\/p>\n
Bridlewood is now owned by the famed Gallo family as one of their two Central Coast wine ventures; the other is Edna Valley Vineyard.<\/p>\n
