The story behind it

The maker

Founded by Etienne Thee in 1852, Almaden Vineyards was named after a nearby quicksilver mine. Over the generations, the brand became a household name across America, celebrated for producing reliable, easy-drinking California table wines in generous formats.

How it is made

Almaden Vineyards is one of California's oldest wine brands, established in the Santa Clara Valley in 1852. The historic winery pioneered commercial winemaking in the region and popularized the bag-in-box format to keep wine fresh for weeks.
