Way out along Adelaida Road stands a little red farmhouse, home to Tolo Cellars. Josh Gibson, proprietor and winemaker, offers a sumptuous array of wines – Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and exotic Rhone blends – all sourced from vineyards tucked away in the rustic hills, where once frolicked the pioneers of the Adelaida township. 

This historically adventurous area, marked by rugged terrain, offers ideal hillside conditions for vines bearing hardy and distinctive wine grapes. 

Josh’s goal in winemaking is to allow these vineyards, each with its own “flora and fauna,” to express themselves in glorious harmony. Thus, all his wines are fermented on native yeast, allowing the robust and wild flavors of the vines to exude in the wines. The results are libations of uncommon depth and mysterious character – much like the surrounding hillsides. 

Josh opened his tasting room doors in December 2005, though he was well-versed in the Far Out lifestyle long before that. As assistant wine maker at Le Cuvier Winery for several years, Josh learned the tricks of crafting high quality wines in small lots. He continues that practice today, limiting production to just around 1,200 cases. 

The little red farmhouse, built in the 1880s, doubles as a tasting room and showcase for exclusive Provencal linens, pottery, tablecloths and cookbooks, selected especially for the discerning wine enthusiast. Experience the best of westside Paso Robles wine country at Tolo Cellars.
