Adelaida District

The Adelaida District of Paso Robles, located on California's Central Coast, is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning a range of elevations and microclimates, the Adelaida District's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a complex array of terroir. The proximity to the cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean plays a major role in cooling the vineyards, sending fog and chilly air inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the western areas closer to the coast, producing refined and elegant wines, while further inland, the warmer, sun-drenched hillsides support the cultivation of bigger, bolder wines. This diversity of conditions enables the Adelaida District to produce a wide variety of wine styles, each reflecting the unique character of its growing regions.
