Harvest Cellar Hand
Seasonal P/T
Steinbeck Vineyards and Winery
Paso Robles, CA
Dedicated to sustainable farming and legacy within the community, the Steinbeck Wine brand honors the excellence of growing in the vineyard and their family’s 140 year history in the area. Steinbeck Vineyards are located in the Sub AVA “Geneseo District”, named after their family’s settlement in 1884 from Geneseo, Illinois. Their 420-acre estate vineyard supplies several wineries with fruit, and a small percentage is used to craft their own wines. Family owned and managed, their winemaker, Bryan Widstrand, was trained as winemaker in California under Jim Shumate and Steve Glossner, and in Tasmania, Australia.
Hand-picked, hand sorted, and hand crafted with minimal handling, their winemaking style is a combination of old-world focus and new experiences, seeking balance, elegance, and approachability without manipulation or pretension.
