About Midnight Cellars
Midnight Cellars is a warm, family-run winery in the western hills of Paso Robles, founded in 1995 when the Hartenberger family left Chicago to chase a wine-country dream. Three generations now work the estate, and a celestial theme runs through the wines, from the flagship Full Moon Red to reserves like Mare Nectaris and Zenith.
The focus is big, bold, value-priced estate reds, Bordeaux varieties and ripe Zinfandel, all made vegan, with a lineup you can only taste in the tasting room. The friendly bright-blue tasting room, grassy lawn, and hillside setting make for an easygoing visit where the winemaker might well be the one pouring.

✓
Michael and RichardMichael and Richard Hartenberger named their Anderson Road estate in the El Pomar District after the clear, star-filled midnight sky above the Paso Robles countryside, the thing that makes wine tasting and outdoor living here so atmospheric. They established the winery in 1995 and still run it themselves, a warm, family-conducted Paso Robles Bordeaux and Rhône stop open daily for walk-ins.
✓
The Midnight CellarsThe Midnight Cellars wine names carry the same theme: the Nocturne Red, the estate's proprietary blend, takes its name from the musical composition evocative of night, and it sits alongside estate Cabernet, Merlot, and Syrah in a program built around the dark-sky setting. All of it is poured at a Hartenberger-family-run Paso Robles walk-in tasting room.
