Calcareous Vineyards is located on Peachy Canyon Road in the Westside hills of Paso Robles, California. Established in 2000, Calcareous Vineyards is a 442-acre estate that begins about one mile to the west of town and stretches for several miles towards the beautiful Pacific Ocean.  The expanse of this land offers many opportunities for optimal vineyard sites and varietal selections. 

The benefit of the Westside of Paso Robles is that the terrain allows for the production of Bordeaux, Rhone, and Burgundy varietals virtually side-by-side. The limestone soils were derived from the sea-life once covering these hills in pre-historic times; creating the foundation for a great vineyard.  The hills emerged from the depths of the ocean by the colliding forces of geological plates and volcanic eruption; this has created varied microclimates on the sides of the hills, due to the different exposures to sun, wind, and rain.

Our search for the perfect combination of terroir, climate and varietal selection brought us to the Central Coast of California, and more specifically to the rare and unique calcareous soils of West Paso Robles.  Our goal is to produce the finest Rhone and Bordeaux blends and distinctive Burgundies this region will allow.
