Since its founding, Chalk Hill has been producing artisan wines from our estate vineyards in the hills of northeastern Sonoma County. While our 300+ acres of vineyards surrounding the winery will always be the cornerstone of our identity, in addition to our Estate Chardonnay, we started producing our first Russian River Valley Chardonnay in 2018. This wine comes from select Foley family-owned estate vineyards in the Russian River Valley AVA, ensuring sustainability, outstanding quality, consistency and complexity in the wine.

The 2022 vintage was another warm and fast-paced year. Warm temperatures continued into summer setting the stage for full ripening, fresh acidity and beautifully balanced fruit. The fruit was harvested September 12th - September 30th in the cool, early morning hours to preserve vibrant fruit character of this year’s crop.
