| Arroyo Seco Wine Country |
|
The two most renowned Arroyo Seco wineries are owned by Douglas Meador (Ventana Vineyards) and Bill Jekel (Jekel Vineyards). These men have been instrumental in establishing Arroyo Seco Wine Country’s reputation as a wine region. Meador and Jekel both sell their excellent wines at very fair prices.
Arroyo Seco Wine is produced in a transitional climate. Arroyo Seco Wineries are on the border of cooler, foggier weather to the northwest, and hotter, sunnier weather to the southeast. Learn more about the weather of Arroyo Seco Wine Country and how it affects local vineyards.
