Tag: Madroña Vineyards

It’s a steep drive up High Hill road to Madroña vineyards in Camino, California. When first-time guests arrive and realize how far they’ve climbed, they often report having an epiphany. They may have heard that Madroña stands at an elevation of 3,000 feet and is one of the highest-elevated wineries in the state of California, but now they feel it. The altitude imparts a clean, crisp quality to the air. The warm mountain days lead to cool mountain nights, yielding intense flavors and mild acidity in the grapes. Madroña’s three estate vineyards total about 67 acres, offering an exciting range of terroir.
