The Talley family have been vegetable farmers in Arroyo Grande dating back to 1848. Talley Vineyards was founded in 1986 with vineyards in Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande Valley and has become well-known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from their estate fruit. Brian Talley currently runs the show and the winemaker is Leslie Mead. 190 acres of vineyards are farmed in San Luis Obispo County. There are five main estate vineyards with three producing Pinot Noir: Rincon, Rosemary, and Stone Corral. Single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from these vineyards are quickly sold to members of Talley's preferred customer list. A second, value-priced label is Bishop's Peak. Total production of both labels is 35,000 cases annually. A very nice tasting room is open daily in Arroyo Grande at the winery from 10:30-4:30.
