Chaparral Gardens is 20 acres of natural landscape along with a two acre organic farm. We are located on the California Central Coast. Our wonderful micro climate allows us to grow a wide variety of fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Our first vinegar was developed accidentally in 2005 when there was an overabundance of raspberries. The vinegar was given to friends and family for Christmas, and their response was amazing. We then placed some on our farmers market stand and were unable to keep it stocked.

Charparral Gardens Artisan Vinegars start with hand-selected, hand picked fruits, herbs, and vegetables grown on our organic farm. The fruits and herbs are placed in small vats, along with organic Kosher base vinegar. We add the "Mother" developed from the original batches. The infusion is then taken through a "mild" fermentation process that takes several months to complete. Two more secret steps are taken to ensure the flavors are locked in. Time and patience are the key to success.

All work is done by hand, from pulling weeds to hand labeling. Our vinegars are great in salads, make a wonderful marinade or reduce them down to make glazes for your favorite dish.
