Submit a Vineyard

A primary objective of HVS is to gather a comprehensive registry of California’s historic vineyards. To qualify as a Certified Historic Vineyard, a vineyard must be a currently producing California wine vineyard with an original planting date at least 50 years ago, in which at least 1/3 of existing producing vines can be traced back to original planting date.
