About Fossekall Winery
Fossekall Winery is named for the Norwegian mythological figure of the fossekall — the waterfall sprite or nixie who inhabits waterfalls and plays the fiddle so beautifully that animals, plants, and humans are all enchanted by the music. The Norwegian naming is unusual in Paso Robles' predominantly English, Italian, and Spanish naming landscape, suggesting a founding family with Scandinavian heritage and a connection to Norwegian mythology that they chose to bring to their California wine estate.
The Union Road estate in El Pomar District produces Grenache, Syrah, and Zinfandel from calcareous east-side Paso Robles soils with the accessible walk-in hospitality that the enchanting waterfall sprite mythology suggests: wine that draws you in with its charm and keeps you there with its quality.
The daily walk-in tasting room is dog-friendly, picnic-welcoming, and family-hospitable — the Norwegian sprite's enchanting music translated as Central Coast warmth.
