The Almaden Winery neighborhood, just off Blossom Hill Road in San Jose, California, has a rich and interesting past, dating back to the mid-1850s when the site was first planted with grapevines. It was the first winery in Almaden Valley and one of the oldest in the state of California. (It survived the prohibition period by getting licensed to make sacramental wine and by bottling grape juice.) In this post, I’ll share some photos of the neighborhood with you, explain the three different builders/developers and show you where to find each one. With a bit more than 300 houses, the Almaden Winery area is quite popular, with its homes selling quickly. The community centers around a lovely park, and additionally, there’s a newer library adjacent to it – the Vineland Branch of the San Jose public library system.
The design is primarily the Mediterranean, with lots of windows and natural light, smaller lots generally, mostly two-story homes with two-car garages. Located off of Blossom Hill Road and close to Dartmouth Middle School, the neighborhood is at the mouth of the Almaden Valley but is now technically considered a part of Cambrian Park and has a Cambrian zip code, 95118. The Guadalupe Creek and some percolation ponds are the back boundaries (homes on just the other side of the water are considered officially part of Almaden Valley). A number of homes enjoy a beautiful waterfront view and unobstructed vista of the mountains. Some of them are on larger lots, too, and sell for a premium. Bed Bug Exterminator San Jose
They offer community services that cater to the elderly segment of the Assyrian community. A large segment of many Assyrian seniors have language barriers and are in or nearing retirement age. The program offers social engagement and senior empowerment to promote health and wellness through education, enrichment, social gatherings, and exercise. Almaden’s rich history spans nearly 16 decades. In 1852, founder Etienne Theé planted California’s first vineyards with vines from his home in France, naming it Almaden Vineyards after a local mine in the Los Gatos area. We are proud to say that California’s winemaking began here, and since then, we’ve become one of the leading winemakers in the country.
