Every road has a story.
Meet Derek and Natalie
Paso Road Wine grew from our shared passion for great wine, creative work, and a curiosity about the people and places behind every bottle. Rooted in the Paso Robles community, our journey takes us across California's Central Coast, exploring vineyards, building relationships, and discovering what makes each place distinctive.
Our backgrounds in film, photography, music, and storytelling shape how we approach this journey. A vineyard photograph, a conversation with a grower, or the experience of making wine offers a different perspective. We love learning along the way and sharing those discoveries with others.
The right vineyard for the variety.
We seek out vineyards across California's Central Coast where each grape variety can express its best qualities. We're drawn to distinctive sites, returning to those we love while exploring how the same variety can reveal a different character from one region to another.
Let the wine tell you where it began.
We make our wines in small lots, taking a hands-on approach from harvest through to bottling. Every vineyard and vintage brings something different, and we enjoy discovering what works best for each wine. Our goal is to bring out its natural character, rather than impose a particular style.
Paso Road Wine, Lazy Mule Olive, and Derek's photography share a home in Luff House. Wine, olive oil, and photography offer different ways to share a life shaped by California's Central Coast.
