Located between the vast Griffith Park—one of the largest municipal parks in the United States—and a quiet residential area of Los Angeles, the Hollywood Classic vineyard represents a perfect balance between nature and urbanization. This urban vineyard is not only a green oasis contributing to carbon capture and urban cooling, but it also serves a protective function: during wildfires, its irrigation system was used to safeguard the surrounding community. Planted on steep hills over 1,300 feet high, it benefits from the cool marine breezes of the nearby Pacific Ocean, allowing the cultivation of Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
Unlike the lowland vineyards of the 19th century, Hollywood Classic stands out for its sustainable and organic viticulture, bringing back to life the rich winemaking heritage of Los Angeles, once the beating heart of the American wine industry. Surrounded by the iconic Hollywood Sign—a global symbol of dreams and ambition—this vineyard tells a story that intertwines wine tradition with the glamour and cultural history of the city. With over twenty years of activity, Hollywood Classic is today not only a producer of high-quality wines but also a cornerstone of the local community, supporting numerous charitable and cultural initiatives.
This is where the past, present, and future of Californian viticulture meet—in a breathtaking setting that celebrates nature and the city, wine and culture.
