About Eden Rift Vineyards:

The stunning and centrally secluded vineyards of Eden Rift were established over 170 years ago, making it the oldest operating vineyard estate on the West coast, under vine since 1849, and the birthplace of Pinot Noir in America. Tucked away in an idyllic location, on rare limestone soils and sublime terraces, it’s less than an hour from both Silicon Valley and Carmel-by-the-Sea. On the doorstep of Pinnacles National Park, Eden Rift can simultaneously boast a helipad and a Walter Burley Griffin designed house from 1906. With such deep authentic history and timeless beauty, one of California’s best kept secrets has just been twice named one of Wine and Spirits Top 100 Wineries of the World. Position Overview:
