The Challenge Facing Winemakers

Throughout California, there are far more wine producers than wineries. Currently, small to medium-scale wine makers purchase grapes from vineyard managers, then truck them to commercial “co-op” wineries for processing. After fermentation, the wine is stored in barrels, bottled and ultimately sold to consumers. Although this system provides a relatively inexpensive way for new winemakers to enter the wine industry, it comes at a substantial cost: quality and control.

The annual grape harvest lasts just eight weeks. As a result, dozens of winemakers fight for space and equipment in commercial “co-ops” during the months of September and October. For most winemakers, the lack of equipment interrupts the winemaking process and compromises the quality of the wine. For many, the lack of space dictates the grape harvest itself – resulting in fruit that has been picked prematurely, or left on the vine too long.

Pent-up demand for small to medium-scale wineries, coupled with increased wine consumption during economic downturns, has led us to offer winemakers the best solution: Winery Row - Paso Robles.

Tired of Getting Stuck in "the Crush"

Tired of waiting for other winemakers to finish while your grapes sit and wait?

Each free-standing facility in Winery Row Paso provides you, the winemaker, with a "turn-key" solution, so you can crush your own fruit, and process your own wine — on your own schedule! Each facility also features a barrel storage room that can handle up to two harvests, and a tasting room where tourists can buy wine.

Each winery comes fully plumbed, with ample drainage and ample power. You simply move your equipment into the facility, and you are in business.

If additional equipment is needed (i.e., stainless steel tanks, presses and crusher/destemmers) a separate equipment lease can be created.

Your very own tasting room...
an integral part of Winery Row.

Every winemaker dreams of a tasting room full of appreciative wine enthusiasts paying full retail for their products! Unfortunately, not all tasting rooms are in the right location to generate foot traffic. In addition, it often takes months or even years to get city/county officials to approve a new tasting room.

At Winery Row, those issues have been solved. Each winery in Winery Row Paso comes complete with built-in retail space. And due to the concentrated number of wineries in one location, wine tourists looking for a convenient place to spend the afternoon wine tasting, will find their way to Winery Row.

It's that simple, just lease or purchase a winery at Winery Row Paso, and your tasting room will be open before you know it!

Barrel Storage

Wouldn't it be great to make wine in one part of your winery, and store it in a purpose-built barrel storage facility just a few feet away?  Imagine how convenient that would be — how easy topping and racking would be. No more transporting barrels all over town. No more driving to another building miles away, and no more paying an arm-and-a-leg for storage costs.

When you lease a winery at Winery Row Paso, you don't have to worry about storage anymore. Every winery in Winery Row has an integrated processing facility, tasting room, and storage space for active and inactive barrel storage. With humidity and temperature controlled spaces designed into the facility from the beginning — you can be assured that your wine will age properly. Just imagine — it's all in one place, saving you time, money, and headaches.
