About Lone Madrone
Lone Madrone is the family label of Neil Collins, the longtime winemaker at Tablas Creek and one of west Paso's foundational figures. Founded in 1996 and named for a single madrone tree over a Willow Creek vineyard, it draws on dry-farmed, organically farmed, head-trained sites to make characterful, terroir-driven wines across an unusually wide range, from Cabernet and Chenin Blanc to Rhone blends, Nebbiolo, and Tannat, plus Bristols hard cider.
Tastings are relaxed and personal, with patio flights of estate and dry-farmed wines and a weekend kitchen serving locally sourced fare. Now with a second generation involved, it is a genuine expression of west-Paso soul, ideal for curious drinkers who want substance, family history, and something off the beaten path.
