Edna Valley: Discover

Uncharted California

Named for the Acacia Baileyana tree abundant throughout the Central Coast, Baileyana was founded over 35 years ago and is one of the original shapers of Edna Valley winemaking. Situated in California’s coolest growing region, nearest the Pacific Ocean, Baileyana exudes a graceful yet vivid elegance. Our array of distinctly exceptional wines – highlighted by cool climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – are the epitome of the excellence, charm and potential of Edna Valley. This stunning region remains a breathtaking getaway, hidden in plain sight.

The Epitome of

California’s Central Coast

Edna Valley is located just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean in San Luis Obispo County – a wine region unlike any other in the world, with cooler temperatures and a longer growing season than any other AVA in California.

Our Story

Winemaker

Rob Takigawa

Great wines may start with the fruit, but ultimately the winemaker has the final say. Thankfully for Baileyana, the man behind every great bottle of our wine is the immensely talented Rob Takigawa. Rob has worked with us for 19 years, starting as our Tank Room Manager, working up to Assistant winemaker, then Winemaker, and now Director of Winemaking. This year will bring his 20th vintage of working with fruit from our vineyards.

Rob and his team are dedicated to furthering the vision of our original founders, Jack and Catharine Niven, who came to San Luis Obispo in the early 1970’s to plant a vineyard in a valley that was, at the time, only known for its dairy farms and garbanzo beans. As a Central Coast local and Cal Poly graduate with a degree in soil science, Rob is in many ways the perfect man to continue the Niven’s legacy. When not making wine he enjoys surfing, traveling with his family, and coaching his children’s sports teams.
