Savoring Coastal Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, live music, and a cook book at Talley Vineyards

The historic adobe at Talley Vineyards in Arroyo Grande Valley
Tom Wilmer

Brian Talley’s grandfather started farming in the Arroyo Grande Valley back in 1948. It was Brian’s dad who planted grapes in the early 1980s and eventually started producing wine as well, and as they say, the rest is history. 

Talleyhas won numerous prestigious awards and received the honor of having Talley wines served at numerous White House dinners.
