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,Encyclopedia of Consumer Brands: Consumable Products , 681 pages, published by the Gale Group, Business & Economics, p 8 (1993) and the site is designated as a California Historical Landmark.
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.Wahler Associates, Investigation of Soil Pesticide Contamination at the Old Almaden Winery, San Jose, California , December 8, 1989Earth Metrics Inc, Old Almaden Winery, San Jose, file reference 10453, January 10, 1990
