About Ely Callaway

In 1973, Ely Callaway, a successful textile entrepreneur, planted vineyards on 140 acres of land in Temecula, California. The first vintage of Callaway wine was produced two years later, and quickly gained renown after Queen Elizabeth II was served Callaway Riesling and in response, awarded Temecula recognition as an official winemaking region. 1982 brought Callaway another opportunity, when he purchased half of golf company Hickory Stick USA, later purchasing the company in full, and rebranding it as Callaway Golf.

About the Winemaker

A California native and graduate of UC Davis, Phil Hurst brings his extensive knowledge of California’s premier AVAs to these wines. His experience in creating, developing, and launching meaningful wine brands brings additional value to growing the brand as a whole.
