Core wine company is a family run winery located in Santa Maria Ca. Our primary vineyard is the Alta Mesa vineyard, located in Eastern Santa Barbara county in Cuyama Valley. We also get fruit from Laetitia, Camp 4, Rodney's and French Camp, all located in Santa Barbara County. Other than the Core brand, we also produce C3, Kuyam, and Turchi wines. We concentrate on making wine in a unique vineyard driven style to produce complex and satisfying wines.

The philosophy of vineyard farming at Alta Mesa is centered on the principles of sustainable agriculture and the active participation of the people who are making the wine, bottling the wine, marketing the wine, selling the wine, delivering the wine — now do you get the meaning of CORE? Depending on the time of year, Dave spends anywhere from 12-30 hours a week in the vineyard. With the exception of events like spraying, pruning and harvest, he’s able to do most of the vineyard work himself. While the vineyard is not certified organic, it is managed with organic guidelines in mind. Mildew sprays are minimal and involve the application of both sulfur and potassium bicarbonate. There is no fertilization used on the vines and the weeds have been controlled by mowing, cover crops and hand hoeing.
