Bien Nacido Vineyards, located in Santa Maria, California, is a renowned family-owned winery that has been producing exceptional wines since 1973. With a rich history dating back to the 19th century, the vineyard is situated in the Santa Maria Valley, known for its cool climate and unique terroir. The Miller family, driven by their vision to create a world-class vineyard, meticulously planted 300 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, resulting in the birth of Bien Nacido, meaning "well born" in Spanish. The vineyard's commitment to quality and passion for winemaking has earned them numerous accolades and recognition as one of the top vineyards in California.
Continuing their legacy, Bien Nacido expanded their portfolio with the addition of Solomon Hills Vineyard, located just eleven miles from the ocean. Planted in the late 1990s, Solomon Hills offers a distinct terroir characterized by sandy loam soils and the influence of the Santa Maria marine effect. The combination of different soil compositions and exposures between Bien Nacido and Solomon Hills vineyards creates unique nuances in their wines. With Anthony Avila as the dedicated winemaker and Chris Hammell as the skilled vineyard manager, Bien Nacido Vineyards remains committed to crafting small-lot, terroir-driven wines of exceptional quality.
