I. Brand & Family Tasting Room

We did not set out to make these wines. We discovered great vineyards at the edge of sensible farming and decided to bring them to light. The farther we looked, the more we found – remote, challenging vineyards, with hard depleted soils, and intense sunlight tempered only by the coastal breeze. Vineyards capable of producing only the most idiosyncratic wines. Our goal as winemakers is to lightly polish the roughest edges and leave the idiosyncrasy intact. It is here in the back country, filled with individual character, where Paysan comes to life. Our Carmel Valley Tasting Room is open Thursday-Monday 11am-6pm for socially distanced indoor & outdoor tastings, bottle purchases and club member pickups.
