About Talbott Vineyards
Talbott Vineyards is one of Monterey County's most recognized producers of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, founded in 1982 by Robert Talbott of the renowned Talbott Tie Company. The estate's Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, a 600-acre site in the Santa Lucia Highlands, has become one of California's most celebrated sources for cool-climate Chardonnay, producing wines of remarkable richness and complexity that have earned consistent scores above from major wine publications.
The tasting room on River Road near Gonzales provides a gateway to the Talbott portfolio, which spans estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir across multiple vineyard designations. The wines reflect the maritime influence of the Santa Lucia Highlands, with bright acidity balancing California richness. Talbott's combination of prestigious vineyard sources, decades of winemaking experience, and broad retail availability has made it an ambassador for Monterey County wines nationwide.
