Massa Estate Organic Vineyards, formerly known as Heller Estate, is the oldest winery in the Carmel Valley appellation.

Located in the picturesque Cachagua region, the estate is celebrated for its commitment to organic farming practices, producing a range of exquisite wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.

The vineyards are dry-farmed, allowing the vines to develop deep roots, which results in rich and flavorful fruit. The estate has been certified organic since the 1980s and has maintained sustainable farming practices without the use of herbicides or pesticides. The winery itself received organic certification in 2012.

Known for its exceptional age-worthy wines, Massa Estate has played a pivotal role in the development of viticulture in the Carmel Valley since the approval of the Carmel Valley Appellation in 1982.

Visitors can enjoy tastings in a serene environment, surrounded by lush landscapes and the beauty of nature. They can also explore the pet-friendly sculpture garden.
