Wine has been produced in California’s Central Coast region for quite some time - by everyone from mission priests to settling migrants, to hippies searching for their “roots”. With each generation, the quality of the wine has improved tremendously. Our Rock & Vine is a testament to the region’s achievement of making great wine, year over year and making your own way in the world.
Monterey: The largest of all American Viticultural Areas, the Monterey AVA runs from the Monterey Bay to the border with Paso Robles. It is one of the most diverse in terms of climatic make-up and types of grapes grown. The most important factor for all farmers in the appellation is their location in relation to the chilly waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Paso Robles: is centrally located between San Francisco and Los Angeles along California’s Central Coast. With a greater day-to-night temperature swing than any other appellation in California, distinct microclimates, diverse soils and a long growing season, Paso Robles is a unique wine region blessed with optimal growing conditions.
