About Carol Ann Vineyard
Carol Ann Vineyard at 39770 De Portola Road is a small family estate on Temecula Valley's De Portola Wine Trail, named for the founder's wife and reflecting the personal, family-centered philosophy that drives every aspect of the winery's operation. Founded in 2003, Carol Ann Vineyard has spent over two decades farming the western side of the Temecula Valley AVA, developing the kind of site-specific knowledge and family winemaking tradition that only sustained, single-estate commitment can build.
The De Portola Road location provides access to the cooler, marine-influenced western growing conditions that distinguish this side of the appellation from the warmer valley floor. Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are the primary productions, with the estate's gentle hillside positioning contributing the natural drainage and air circulation that prevent disease pressure and concentrate flavor in the fruit. The family winemaking approach emphasizes balance and food-friendliness over sheer power.
Open weekends from 11am to 5pm with walk-ins welcome and a $15 tasting fee, Carol Ann Vineyard offers one of the De Portola Trail's most genuinely personal and family-oriented tasting experiences. Two decades of estate winemaking give the family a depth of vintage knowledge that newer De Portola producers are still working to accumulate.
"Carol Ann Vineyard is the De Portola Wine Trail's family heart, a two-decade estate commitment to honest winemaking and personal hospitality that named its wines after the people it loves."
For visitors to the De Portola Road wine trail who want an authentic, long-established family estate experience, Carol Ann Vineyard delivers warmth and honest wine in equal measure.
