The Blade & Talon tasting room is located in historic San Juan Bautista, across from the last Spanish-Mexican colonial plaza in California. Adjacent is the old town jail from 1870, which primarily housed drunks. It was reputed to serve an excellent breakfast, with no escapes.

The bells of the campanario can often be heard ringing from Mission San Juan Bautista. From 1797 to 1835, it was notable for sacramental wine production, using the Mission grape. In 1851, Theophile Vaché would plant California’s first commercial vines, in Cienega Valley. His original adobe can still be seen one block from the tasting room.
