Ok, you decide this is the perfect time to start looking for your dream property. Let’s establish our criterea. First I want a location where the weather is good, plenty of sun and reasonably warm. Second, I would like some views and some open space nearby so I don’t feel so boxed in. Third, I would like a peaceful setting.
You have just described a property that would be well suited for a vineyard. It only makes sense therefore to look in an area where there are established vineyards and wineries. Think about it, vineyards need sun, a temperate climate and room to grow. They also need a good supply of water, which is a precious commodity in this area. So, doesn’t make sense to start your search in an area that is home to the rolling, bucolic grape growing zone of the county.
Unlike artichokes, brussel sprouts and broccoli that can grow in the foggy lowlands, grapes need sun and warmth to thrive and ripen. So it is with many of us who are looking for that special place to come home to each night after dealing with the daily stress of making a living. Carmel Valley is just such a place. The Valley is home to many fine wineries and vineyards that enjoy the temperate climate and sunny days and warm evenings. Even those thin skinned grapes such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, thrive here in the Valley thanks to the abundant sun and lack of fog
So next time you partake of your favorite wine, be it red, white or pink, think of the conditions that it took to grow the grapes that went into the wine and you will agree that grapes do make good neighbors!
