Jacona Valley Vineyard is a small family-owned vineyard located 20 miles north of Santa Fe in one of the oldest winemaking regions in North America. It is situated between Pojoaque and San Ildefonso tribal lands in an area once known as the Jacona Land Grant, a 46,000 acre parcel of land granted by the Spanish crown to its settlers in 1702. Jacona Valley Vineyard is planted exclusively in pinot noir vines. This thin-skinned and finicky vinifera grows best in cool climates characterized by relatively short growing seasons. At an elevation of 5,700 feet, Jacona Valley's cool summer nights and brilliantly sunny days provide ideal conditions for growing outstanding pinot noir. Although there is no tasting room at this time, Jacona Valley Vineyard's owners Trey and Blair Naylor invite you to visit their vineyard for tours and purchases in the hope that you will find their wine to be as remarkable as the valley in which it is grown.
