Paris Valley Road Estate Winery
Tasting Room Associate

Paris Valley Road is an estate winery and vineyard inspired by the stunning domaines of the grand crus of France. Our name comes from a little-known two lane road located to the west of the very first vineyard we planted over 20 years ago. It’s here, surrounded by vineyards and gently rolling hills, that our story begins.

Paris Valley Road Estate Winery is a family owned and operated winery based in Paso Robles, CA. Vines, land, and wine are our history, a passionate lifestyle shared by our family through a commitment to create wines of distinction. With inspiration from the old world, our wines are distinctly Paso Robles in style. Our focus is on Bordeaux varietals and blending techniques, but our winemaking team’s approach is modern and adventurous, showcasing the incredible variety of terroir available to us within the Paso Robles and Central Coast appellations.
