History

The Poseidon Vineyard was started by the McElligott family in 1973, one of the first vineyards at the very edge of San Pablo Bay. McElligott passed away in January 2022 at home after a long and adventurous life. He loved San Pablo Bay, buying his first 21’ wooden sailboat in 1957, not quite a year after he escaped Hungary as Russia crushed the 1956 Revolution.
