Melville Winery

Situated amongst the beautiful rolling hills of Western Santa Ynez Valley, Melville is
dedicated to producing exceptional cold-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah
grown exclusively in their estate vineyards throughout the Sta. Rita Hills appellation.
Founded in 1989, Melville is a family-owned and operated estate winery with its roots in
Sonoma County's Knights Valley, where Ron Melville grew high-quality and greatly
sought-after grapes.

In 1996, Ron's desire to grow cold-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah brought
Melville Vineyards to the Sta. Rita Hills, located in the Western Santa Ynez Valley of
Santa Barbara County. Today, Ron and his son, Chad Melville, uphold Melville’s
tradition as one of the most highly-regarded estates in California.
