The Calera Wine Company is the brainchild of Josh Jensen who spent years in France learning the craft of winemaking under many of his mentors, all of whom were adamant that the best of chardonnays and pinot noirs must be grown in limestone-rich soil. Upon returning to California, he searched for the perfect location to start his vineyard and found a piece of land that has several million tons of limestone deposit within it.

The wines that you taste today are all the product of the effort and passion that Jensen put into producing each of his wines. Head over and take a tour of the stunning vineyard and their one-of-a-kind seven level gravity flow winery, all of which is surrounded by stunning views of the Diablo Mountain Range.
