About Us
A New Vineyard
Hawk’s Point Vineyards are newly-planted in the heart of
San Diego County's Backcountry
For several years now we’ve been fascinated and inspired by the efforts of local vineyard enthusiasts
We took the time to explore local pruning methods, participate in local harvests, and discover unique wines from the Backcountry
A small demonstration vineyard was installed in 2015 to showcase several varietals and determine their viability
It was time to plant...
In June 2021 we completed the infrastructure to support 1,115 vines
Our four Italian varieties are currently thriving in a terroir of sandy loam soils and warm afternoon breezes
Traditional and full-bodied red grapes include:
Primitivo, Montepulciano and our Sicilian variety, Nero d’Avola
Our hearty Vermentino provides an additional white grape variety to this mix
Keeping it simple and clean
We seek to ensure the health of our vines through a natural and minimalist approach. Our row cover helps retain moisture, serves as our erosion control, and provides a rich biodiversity to the soils. In addition, we have adopted a regenerative pruning method with the hope of producing vigorous vines and high-quality grapes
In the Spring we enjoy a superbloom of wildflowers and cherish the annual return of our local bees, birds, and barn owls
Blessed are You, Lord our God, ... Creator of the fruit of the vine
Fall 2024 our grapes will be ready for harvest — and for sale
