Tablas Creek Vineyard

Tablas Creek Vineyard is a pioneer of California’s Rhone movement. In 1989, after decades of friendship, the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel and importer Robert Haas bought an estate in limestone-rich west Paso Robles, chosen for its similarities to Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Vine material was imported from Beaucastel.

Tablas Creek’s vineyards are certified organic and Biodynamic and largely dry-farmed, limiting yields. A herd of sheep and alpacas builds healthy soils, while native yeast fermentation and aging in large neutral oak foudres produce Rhone-style wines of character and place.
