WINE COUNTRY

Experience the Paso Robles wine country lifestyle in an intimate and personalized way, unique to our bucolic community. Paso Robles is the halfway point between San Francisco and Los Angeles as well the entrance from the San Joaquin Valley to the coastline. A true crossroads where the north meets south and east meets west.

This unique location with its coastal influence, creates a greater day-to-night temperature swing than other California wine regions. This is good for the grapes. They thrive with a long growing season and diverse soil types. More than 40 wine grape varieties are grown in Paso ranging from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache and Zinfandel for red wines to Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Roussanne, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay for white wines.
