Cargo Road Winery Tours

The vineyard, established in 1983 on Cargo Road west of Orange, is one of the oldest in the region. A variety of grapes are cultivated, such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barbera, Zinfandel, Lagrein, Nebbiolo, Shiraz, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. The vineyard is planted on deep red basalt and clay-based loam soils and is mostly unirrigated. Join the vigneron James Sweetapple on a tour of the vineyard and winery, which is the first EOV-certified vineyard in the world under the Savory Institute. During the tour, you will have the opportunity to taste the grapes, ferments, and wines while learning about the vigneron's methods, which have been perfected over 26 years of management.
