The Old Almadén Winery is a historic wine production site in Santa Clara County, California, situated on the eastern slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Established in 1852, the Old Almaden Winery was the oldest winery in California,[2] and the site is designated as a California Historical Landmark.[1]
The winery is no longer in operation - the Almaden Vineyards company moved to Madera, California, and the vestigial remains of the property have been made into a public park. Much of the prior winery grounds have also been converted to single family homes, following a series of environmental planning studies.[3][4]
On October 17, 2023 someone posted a video showcasing the inside of the winery and giving a tour of it. based off the video, Most of the interior of the winery is currently vacant, as seen in this YouTube Video The basement area is inhabited by numerous statues and other precious artifacts from a bygone era. around February of 2024 the owner of the abandoned Almaden winery building must have saw the video that was posted, because as a result, they replaced their old, easy to hop, worn down, broken, and old fences into 10 feet tall thick solid metal black fences.
