2024 Harvest Internship
Seasonal F/T
L'Aventure Winery
2815 Live Oak Road Paso Robles, CA 93446
L'Aventure Winery was founded by Stephan and Beatrice Asseo in 1998. Originally from Bordeaux, the Asseo family-owned multiple properties in Bordeaux. Over the next 17 years, Stephan developed into an artisan winemaker and gained a reputation as a maverick winemaker. However, his true desire was to be more innovative than AOC law would allow. After searching for over a year among the world's great wine regions, Stephan found Paso Robles. He immediately “fell in love” with the unique terroir of west side Paso Robles. The rolling topography of the Santa Lucia Mountain Range, the deep calcareous soils, and the maritime influences of the renowned Templeton Gap all combine to craft some of the world's greatest blends. L’Aventure has been repeatedly recognized for their high-end, distinguished Paso Robles blends.
