Langtry’s history as a winery dates back to 1854 when wine grapes were first planted in the Guenoc Valley. Victorian actress Lillie Langtry, a colorful theater star in Europe and America, owned the property from 1888 to 1906 and produced wine which she claimed would be the “greatest claret in the country.” In 1963, Malulani Investments acquired the 21,000 acre property and established Langtry Estate and Vineyards with a focus on producing exceptional wines from the Guenoc Valley. The Winery planted extensive vineyard acreage and was one of the first in California to plant the five major red Bordeaux grape varieties. In 1981, Guenoc Valley was approved as an AVA (American Viticultural Area), with the distinction of being the first single-proprietor AVA in the country. Langtry’s winery is open to tasting and tours daily between 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
