Appaloosa Vineyard / Prospect 772

​

After exploring a number of places, our hearts became linked to a small 25 acre parcel tucked in a narrow valley just outside the town of Angels Camp. The dirt was warm and red, rich with minerals and the sun seemed to hit the land just right. Whether we found this place or it found us, our journey led us to this home that held the promise for something special, “Prospect 772”.

Dalton Vineyard

(209) 897-0009

Dalton Vineyard was founded in 2001 by Jim Dalton, inspired by his daughter's words, "Dad, you loved two things in life, gardening and wine. Why don't you go out and start a vineyard or something." Jim worked hard and bulldozed over 30 acres of land at the turn of the century to make his vision a reality. By 2005, the vineyard's syrah had been made into an award-winning wine at the California state fair (double gold).

Villa Vallecito Vineyards

Tasting Room (209) 890-3157 / Ghee (209) 743-9384

From the time our vines were planted in 2001, we have nurtured each and every varietal to suit its specific needs. We prune to keep our yield low, at 3 tons per acre, so that every grape can receive the amount of nutrients, water and sunlight it needs to reach its full potential.

Our vineyard is meticulously monitored to ensure that our fruit can grow in peace and harmony with the surrounding landscape. Sustainability is very important to us at Villa Vallecito Vineyards, and so we fertilize using organic material from each harvest season: including leaves, skins, stems, and fruit that didn’t meet our standards for the winemaking process. Our vines are sorted three times prior to crush to remove any debris coming out of the vineyard, un-ripe or overripe berries. The result is big rich flavors, with beautiful colors.
