Chalk Hill Estate Vineyards & Winery
Since its founding in 1972, Chalk Hill Estate has been one of Sonoma County's benchmark producers. Nowhere else will you find such transitional terroir as this: nestled atop the cooler Russian River Valley, just over the ridge from the warmer Alexander Valley. Among the estates rugged hillsides, a scant few hundred acres make up a patchwork of carefully nurtured vineyards which rest atop the rocky soil where the Russian
River once meandered. Here, nature is joined by artisans of the vineyard and cellar to bring forth wines that reflect the character and richness of this special place.
