Ancient Peaks Winery is a family-owned estate winery rooted in historic Santa Margarita Ranch and operated by the Filipponi, Rossi and Wittstrom families. Its sustainably farmed Margarita Vineyard is the only vineyard within the Santa Margarita Ranch AVA, where varied soils and a cool, maritime-influenced climate produce distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir and other varieties. Visitors can sample estate wines and limited releases at the winery’s welcoming tasting room and café in downtown Santa Margarita, which also serves seasonal, locally inspired food.

Broadside works with sustainably farmed Margarita Vineyard fruit for select wines, including its Santa Margarita Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon and limited-production Merlot. The vineyard’s cooler growing conditions give these wines freshness and structure alongside Paso Robles’ characteristic dark fruit. Broadside does not operate a tasting room at the vineyard, but its wines can be purchased online and through selected retailers. Visit Broadside
