Galante Vineyards our philosophy is simple: grow the finest grapes possible
and let the fruit express itself in the wine. Since all of our grapes
are estate grown, each bottle of wine we produce embodies the characteristics
of our unique region, exhibiting the natural flavors that are born from
the land.
The Galante Family has
a long history in the Monterey area. Owner Jack Galante's great grandfather,
J.F. Devendorf, was the founder of the town of Carmel. He later built
the Pine Inn and the prestigious Highlands Inn. In 1969, Jack's parents
purchased a 700-acre cattle ranch in rustic Carmel Valley. While still
maintaining a working cattle ranch, the Galantes, in 1983, began growing
premium grapes on their property, specializing in Cabernet Sauvignon.
In 1994, Jack Galante decided to build a winery and use some of his grapes
to produce ultra-premium estate bottled wines. Today Galante is recognized
as one of the premier Cabernet Sauvignon producers in Monterey County
and all of California.
We also participate in and hold many events throughout the year. Please refer to our calendar of events. For a one on one approach, tours and tasting, by appointment only, offer a personal look into our winemaking process. We can also arrange a private tasting/party for small groups or large corporations.
