Kingston Family Vineyards
Casablanca, Chile
In the early 1900s, Carl John Kingston left his home in Michigan looking for copper and gold in Chile. While he never found his mother lode, his search yielded a cattle ranch in Casablanca Valley, just 12 miles from the Pacific.
Then, in the late 1990s CJ’s great-granddaughter, Courtney Kingston, wrote the business plan to plant Pinot Noir and Syrah (in a valley known for white wines), while in graduate school at Stanford University. Nearly 100 years after C.J. Kingston first came to Chile, the fifth generation of Kingstons grows up surrounded by grapevines in the western Casablanca hills.
