Angels Camp
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).
