From website:

At the end of a sun-dappled roadway, nestled among old arching oaks and thick Spanish moss, you’ll discover a Central Coast treasure called York Mountain Winery. In 1882, apple farmer, Andrew York, discovered his soil and climate were ideal for growing grapes—thus York Mountain Winery was born.

After nearly 90 years, the York’s sold the winery in 1970 to winemaker Max Goldman. The Goldman’s continued the family winemaking tradition for more than three decades. The family transitions in ownership have made York Mountain Winery the oldest winery in continuous operation.

In 2001, the local landmark was purchased by David and Mary Weyrich, owners of the award winning Martin & Weyrich Winery & Tasting Room. Their appreciation of York Mountain’s heritage and their knowledge of the local wine industry helps ensure that the end of the road doesn’t mean the end of the line for the region’s most historic winery.
