KINGSTON FAMILY VINEYARDS
Kingston Family Vineyards is an award-winning boutique winery located on the Kingston family farm in the heart of the Casablanca Valley. The farm was formerly a frontier for gold mining before the family discovered they could strike gold (so to speak) in the wine industry. Unlike the wineries on the coast of Casablanca Valley, which tend to focus primarily on white wines, Kingston Family Vineyards has started producing cool-climate red wines. Their winemaking technique reflects that of a small family-owned business, as they handcraft their Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc in small batches.
Indulge in an immersive wine-tasting experience on the winery’s beautiful terrace overlooking the panoramic vistas of the Casablanca Valley, with scheduled wine tours running daily at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m., or 4 p.m. Private events can also be catered for here – the perfect place for a party!
