About Turtle Rock Vineyards
Turtle Rock is a small, family-owned winery founded in 2008 by Don and Claudia Burns, built on a simple belief that great wine starts with great fruit. They source from some of Paso's most prestigious Willow Creek and Templeton Gap vineyards, including James Berry and G2, to make mostly Rhone-focused red blends, a Rhone white, and a Rose of Grenache.
The results are seriously acclaimed, with wines earning perfect and near-perfect critic scores, yet the experience stays intimate: seated, educational tastings by appointment at their Tin City tasting room. For lovers of top-tier Paso Rhone wines and a personal setting, it is a standout.
