Have you heard of Daou Vineyards? Yeah, we have too…and nothing but great things! We made it out there, and by out there, we mean out Adelaida Road, not too far from downtown but situated at the highest point of any winery in Paso Robles! This means that there’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL views in pretty much every direction across the lovely hills and vineyards.
So, Daou is in the midst of building their winemaking and tasting room facility up on this hill and it should be open for your drinking and viewing pleasure in October of 2011. It’s looking like it’s going to be pretty damn awesome, and we plan to head up there to partake. Hey, that’s just what we do!
Now, don’t get all worried that we haven’t told you all there is to know about Daou just yet, there’s much more to come about this incredible place, and we’ll have more information coming soon! While there, we tasted through their incredible list of handcrafted wines with owner and winemaker, Daniel Daou. He told us all about how he carefully handcrafts the wines, and we’ll share that with you very soon, but for now we wanted to leave you with this:

Wow this place is going to be awesome, another winery I have to add to my bucket list, how exciting is that, especially the bell that is an unique tradtion to start, ring it when harvest starts and ends.
Hi Bev! Yeah, cool tradition…now we’ll know when to run up there when we hear that bell ring! Cheers!!!
Wow, so cool to see the construction starting. When we visited, we only got to see an empty spot where the bell tower is now standing and the plans in the tasting room. Definitely keep us in the loop since I have to write about the “new” place for our next Wine Wherever book on PR. Cheers!
We’ll be keeping a close eye on Daou, Dahlynn! Looking forward to that book…not sure if you knew this, but we LIKE Paso wine country! Cheers!!!!
