The acclaimed Santa Margarita Ranch AVA in Paso Robles is one of California’s most intimate and distinctive winegrowing areas.

Here, a persistent marine influence creates a long, late growing season that allows the grapes to develop a signature combination of fully developed flavors and fine structure. Meanwhile, a rare diversity of soil types ensures natural nuance and complexity in the fruit. The resulting wines offer a singular sense of place that is native to the Santa Margarita Ranch AVA.

Santa Margarita Ranch stands alone and apart as the southernmost AVA in the Paso Robles region, just 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The resulting wines are as distinct as their location.

The vibrant Central Coast craft beer scene is alive and well in downtown Santa Margarita and all just minutes away from homegrown craft breweries around San Luis Obispo County.
