About Us
The Mill is one of the oldest buildings in the region. Originally built by General Mariano Vallejo in 1839 to harvest redwood and Douglas fir trees. In 1856, Vallejo sold The Mill to one of the area's first winemakers, Joshua Chauvet, who converted it to a grist mill, using the grind stones his father had brought to California from France.
Once milling on the property ceased in the 1881 Jack London Village remained the home of the Glen Ellen Winery and Distillery for nearly a century. Sanjeev opened The Mill at Glen Ellen in 2020.
