About Clesi Wines
Clesi is Templeton Road's Italian argument: winemaker-viticulturist Chris Clesi, the same man driving the tractor when you arrive, and Adrienne pour first-class Italian varieties, several grown on the adjacent Ferrara Estate, in a deliberately modest room where the wines do the decorating. Members praise building momentum vintage over vintage, smooth, light, genuinely Italian in spirit. No marble, all merit.
Clesi Wines sits in Paso Robles / Adelaida District, within the Paso Robles wine country. The tasting room address is P.O. Box 2803, Paso Robles / Adelaida District. Plan around the schedule: Thu-Sun 11am-5pm (by appointment). Required. Tasting fees run from $30. Dogs are welcome. Accessible entry is reported at this tasting room, and the winery can confirm specifics before you arrive. The surrounding Paso Robles region is known for Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Zinfandel, which shapes what most tasting rooms here pour. Hours and tasting formats change with the season, so a quick call to (805) 239-2789 before you go is worth the minute.
