Steinbeck Vineyards represents seven generations of family farming in the Geneseo District, beginning with the Ernst family’s arrival in 1884. Although the family farms a substantial estate for other producers, only selected vineyard blocks are used for its own small-production label. Owner-guided tours aboard a vintage 1958 Willys Jeep combine estate wines with family stories, local history, and an up-close look at Paso Robles viticulture. Steinbeck Vineyards & Winery
