Epoch Estate Winery York Mountain — York Mountain Winery & Tasting Room

Epoch Estate Winery on York Mountain operates from the historic Paderewski Vineyard — the land where world-renowned pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski established one of Paso Robles' earliest wine estates in the early 20th century. The epoch philosophy at York Mountain's cool maritime-influenced terrain produces Tempranillo and Grenache from estate vineyard blocks that benefit from the Pacific Ocean's daily influence through the Templeton Gap, creating conditions of unusual freshness and mineral character for what would otherwise be a warm-climate appellation. The York Mountain AVA — one of California's smallest and most historically significant AVAs — occupies a narrow ridge above the Santa Lucia Range's western slopes where the maritime influence penetrates deepest.
