Adelaida

Adelaida Winery was founded in 1981 when winemaker John Munch produced the first Cabernet Sauvignon under the Adelaida Cellars label using grapes purchased from local growers. However the origins of Adelaida Vineyards began a decade prior when the Van Steenwyk family purchased the Hilltop Ranch along the Adelaida Road for investment purposes only. But some 40 years later Adelaida wines continue to be some of the highest rated in the Paso Robles region according to our Adelaida wine reviews. After the Van Steenwyk family partnered with Munch, they purchased a 400 acre portion of Hoffman Mountain Ranch in 1994. This was the same land originally planted by Dr. Hoffman with some of the region’s first Cabernet Sauvignon, Gamay, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay 30 years prior to the purchase. Today Adelaida is a leading Rhone varietal producer whose 15,000 cases a year production also includes Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gamay, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir, Viognier and Zinfandel.
