Vineyard

The Donati family entered the wine business in 1998 with the purchase of a vineyard in Paicines, CA, located on California's Central Coast. In 2007, the family purchased a winery located in Templeton, CA in the heart of Paso Robles Wine Country. In 2017 the family made the decision to solely concentrate on the Paso Robles AVA by transitioning from estate grown to contracted fruit.
