About Sandy Lane Vineyard

Sandy Lane Vineyard is located in Contra Costa, located just east of the San Francisco Bay. The site has been farmed by the Gonsalves family since the 1930s, and today, is managed by Gary Gonsalves. Sandy Lane vineyard is dedicated to own-rooted Carignane, which was originally planted in 1888. Here, very deep and free-draining sandy soils experience warm days, which are moderated by cool afternoon breezes coming off the San Francisco Bay. The site has been dry-farmed since its original planting.
