Hearthstone Vineyard & Winery is situated on a beautiful 40-acre property on the west side of Paso Robles. Cal Poly Alumni, and seasoned horticulturalist, Hoy Buell dreamt of developing a vineyard and winery in this location for many years. Finally, in 1999, Hoy began to plant his uniquely diverse and ever evolving vineyard. With 18 grape varieties and up to seven clones per variety, the Hearthstone vineyard offers an array of quality fruit to choose from for the winery’s Estate wines.

Winemaker, Paul Ayers, takes great care in producing beautiful and complex wines from the Hearthstone vineyard. Grapes are hand picked from the vineyard and processed in small lots at the winery. Paul keeps a close eye on the wines as they age until they are ready for blending, for which Hearthstone is renowned. One blend is particularly notable. The 2009 Lodestone recently received a gold medal from the 2013 San Francisco Chronicle wine competition. Lodestone is a unique blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. Although Hearthstone wines are made of grapes originating from around the world, they are surprisingly balanced with expected layered complexity.

Hearthstone wines can be sampled at their tasting room conveniently located on Vineyard Drive. The tasting room features an outdoor patio available for guests to enjoy samples of Hearthstone wines alongside a picnic.

Expansive views of majestic oaks and the beautiful west side of Paso Robles can be enjoyed from the patio.
