Adelaida Vineyards

Perched at 2,000 feet in Paso Robles' Santa Lucia Mountains, Adelaida Vineyards commands one of California's most dramatic high-elevation terroirs, where ancient limestone soils and extreme diurnal temperature swings create wines of extraordinary depth and complexity. This historic estate transforms challenging mountain terrain into liquid poetry, establishing itself as the definitive expression of the Adelaida District AVA.

Founded on the principle that great wine begins with exceptional terroir, Adelaida Vineyards has spent decades mastering the art of high-altitude viticulture in Paso Robles' most demanding conditions. Under winemaker Jeremy Weintraub's meticulous guidance, the estate has evolved into a beacon of sustainable winemaking, where rigorous farming practices and innovative techniques honor the unique character of these limestone-rich soils. Weintraub's philosophy centers on allowing the dramatic terroir to speak through minimal intervention, crafting wines that capture the essence of this remarkable mountain landscape.

The winery's portfolio showcases the remarkable diversity possible at elevation, with signature Rhône varietals and Bordeaux blends leading the collection. The flagship Adelaida District wines demonstrate how the estate's shallow, calcareous limestone soils promote intense concentration while maintaining natural brightness and acidity. Temperature swings of 40-50°F between day and night preserve delicate aromatics and create the structural backbone that defines Adelaida's ultra-premium offerings. Limited production ensures each bottle represents the pinnacle of mountain winemaking, with allocation-only releases commanding attention from collectors seeking distinctive Paso Robles expressions.
