Ancient Peaks Winery
Ancient Peaks is a family-owned estate winery specializing in wines from Margarita Vineyard in Paso Robles on California’s Central Coast. Ancient Peaks represents the shared vision of three longtime local winegrowing and ranching families—the Filipponis, Rossis and Wittstroms. Two generations are actively involved in the winery’s daily operations, all dedicated to producing extraordinary wines from Margarita Vineyard. Margarita Vineyard stands alone as the southernmost vineyard in Paso Robles, nestled into the rugged Santa Lucia Mountain Range just 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean in the Santa Margarita Ranch AVA. The vineyard spans five distinct soil types and enjoys one of the coolest growing environments in Paso Robles, resulting in complex wines with a vivid sense of place. Margarita Vineyard is SIP (Sustainability in Practice) Certified. The Ancient Peaks Tasting Room & Café is located in Santa Margarita, California. Ancient Peaks wines have earned widespread critical acclaim and are distributed in 44 states as well as in international markets.
