About Wild Horse Winery
Wild Horse is a Paso Robles pioneer, founded in 1981 and named for the wild mustangs that once roamed the surrounding hills. It built its reputation on approachable Pinot Noir and an adventurous, wide-ranging lineup that has long included lesser-known varieties alongside the classics.
The Templeton tasting room is relaxed and unpretentious, an easy stop for tasting a broad selection of Central Coast wines. For visitors who want variety and a bit of history without fuss, Wild Horse delivers.

Wild Horse WineryWild Horse Winery is one of the Central Coast's most historically founding and most personally wine appointments.
✓
Ken Volk, Ken Volk, a pioneering Central Coast winemaker, established Wild Horse in 1981 on the conviction that the cool maritime Templeton area could produce Pinot Noir. At a time when Paso Robles was best known for Zinfandel and Cabernet, that bet made Wild Horse a founding Central Coast Pinot Noir producer, and Volk grew it into one of the region's most widely distributed programs.
✓
The Wild HorseThe Wild Horse estate program covers Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and the Malvasia Bianca that Ken Volk used to introduce California drinkers to Italian alternative varieties. This founding Central Coast Pinot producer in Templeton pours at accessible daily walk-in pricing, with dog-friendly grounds, picnic facilities, and a family-welcoming atmosphere.
