Thacher Winery
Thacher Winery, established in 2004 by Sherman and Michelle Thacher, is a family-owned boutique winery located on the historic Kentucky Ranch along Paso Robles' scenic Vineyard Drive. The estate seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern winemaking, featuring a solar-powered winery and a tasting room adjacent to a 90-year-old barn. Specializing in small-lot productions, Thacher crafts elegant wines that reflect the unique terroir of California's Central Coast. The winery sources grapes from exceptional vineyards across Paso Robles, Santa Barbara, and Monterey Counties, embracing the natural variations of each growing season. With a philosophy of minimal intervention, Thacher utilizes native yeasts and avoids additives like enzymes and tannins, allowing the fruit's inherent characteristics to shine. This approach results in balanced wines with nuanced complexity, showcasing varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Rhône-style blends. Visitors to Thacher Winery can enjoy a relaxed and authentic tasting experience, surrounded by the picturesque landscapes of rolling hills and oak-studded fields that define the Paso Robles wine country.
