A California winery formerly owned by Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek has once again hit the market — this time for nearly $7 million.
The more than 577-acre property is located in Creston, Calif., situated along the state’s Central Coast. The listing includes a full-functioning vineyard, winery, a working ranch, several dwellings and even a historic barn converted into an event space.
“Over the last 10, 20 years, the Central Coast has really carved out its own niche as being a premier destination for wine enthusiasts,” co-listing agent Mike Goldfarb of Coldwell Banker Realty tells Mansion Global. “It used to be that you had to go up to Napa or Sonoma to drink fine wines, but there are so many great vineyards and wineries in the Central Coast area.”

Goldfarb tells the outlet the sellers of the listing, which he shares with Lindsey Harn of Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno, are his parents: Barry and Donna Goldfarb. They reportedly purchased the property when it was Creston Manor Vineyards and Winery from Trebek and other investors in 2001 for $1.6 million.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Creston Manor was founded in 1982 before a divorce between the initial partners forced the property into bankruptcy. Trebek, a notable wine collector, and 16 other investors later saved the winery in 1986.

Trebek died on Nov. 8, 2020 at age 80. The news came over a year after he was first diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer in March 2019. He was survived by his wife Jean and their two children: son Matthew and daughter Emily. He also has an older daughter, Nicky, whom he adopted with his first wife Elaine Callei.

Today the property offers “rare scale, privacy, and flexibility, with everything in excellent condition and lakes currently full from recent rains,” per the listing. There are more than 22 acres of vineyards planted with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, zinfandel and Pinot Noir. There is a 97,000-square-foot winery building with a 1,600-square-foot apartment and 500 square feet of office space. A massive barrel room completes the property, alongside multiple warehouse facilities for goods and storage.For living spaces, the listing has 11 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms spread across five houses and a private honeymoon suite.

A fully fenced pasture supports cattle, horses, sheep and pigs with terrain like rolling hills and private lakes. The property is a perfect place for outdoor activities like fishing, ATV riding, shooting sports and other recreation.
“This is an extraordinary opportunity as a vineyard estate, equestrian ranch, event venue, retreat or legacy investment,” the listing says.
Horses run in the property's pasture.

When Goldfarb's family purchased the parcel, it only had the winery — which the family leased out through most of their ownership, per Mansion Global. Over the years, they added on the dwellings, turning the property into a family retreat.
There is one element that remains: an old blacksmith’s shop.
