The Old Almaden Winery is an historic wine production site in Santa Clara County, California situated on the eastern slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The winery is no longer in operation, the Almaden Vineyards company moved to Madera, California, and the vestigial remains of the property have been made into a public park; much of the prior winery grounds have also been converted to single family residential uses, following a series of environmental planning studies. One of the old remaining heritage trees from the estate is a 72 inch Schinus molle (California Pepper Tree), previously part of the old mansion grounds on the winery estate. According to the Encyclopedia of Consumer Brands, the Old Almaden Winery is the oldest winery in California.
