Ground to glass.
Mike, Brooke and Chase Carhartt grow the grapes and make the wine on the same patch of Santa Ynez Valley ground — and pour it at a little cabin on Grand Avenue in Los Olivos.
No restaurants. No wine bars. No markets.
Carhartt wines are sold exclusively through our Los Olivos tasting room and online shop, 100% direct to consumer.
On one ranch since 1954
Jack Carhartt purchases Rancho Santa Ynez™ — 2,500 acres, then a functioning dairy and swine operation.
Mike and Brooke plant “The Mesa”: seven acres of Merlot and three of Syrah.
First grapes come off the vine. Brooke makes the first vintage — a barrel of Merlot and a barrel of Syrah.
Chase graduates from Cal Poly in Wine & Viticulture (enology) and joins his mom, Brooke, as co-winemaker.
The tasting room moves to “The Carhartt Cabin,” a turn-of-the-century building in Los Olivos.
Carhartt Vineyard becomes Carhartt Family Wines — three vineyards, a wide variety of wines.
One family, two ways of making wine
The centerpiece of everything we do.
