Tantara was the name of a horse owned by Bill Cates some years ago. After Tantara was retired to pasture, she defied predictions of an imminent demise and lived to a ripe old age. Horses symbolize elegance, grace and power and in Tantara’s case, long life, all of which are qualities Tantara Winery has for their wines.

One of the oldest vineyards in the Central Coast, is set in the very heart of the Historic San Miguel Region. The estate is just a few miles from the Mission San Miguel Archangel which was founded in the 17th century by Franciscan Padres.

Winemaker Biography
I had graduated from Cal Poly, and so, the wine produced that year was named appropriately, Le Retour. I find it essential to pay homage to those who allowed me to learn and work beside them. The predominant nationality of my mentors is French, thus the names of each release will be in French.
Arnaud and Guillaume Fabre moved to California for love. For Guillaume, it was his passion for winemaking and farming without limits that brought him to Paso Robles. This love led him to one of the most prestigious wineries in Paso Robles, L’Aventure, and eventually to start his winery, Clos Solène. Arnaud’s story is much more like that of a movie scene. His move to California was to follow the love of his life, Chloe. This is how the two brothers -Les Deux Frères Fabre- ended up in Paso Robles.
The story gets far more interesting, but you will have to come find out for yourself!
As a tribute to the six-generation family legacy in the Languedoc-Roussillon and Bordeaux regions, BENOM harmoniously combines the freedom of winemaking in Paso Robles with the innate talent of the Fabre bloodline.
Chris’ journey into wine-making was circuitous. His curiosity was first piqued in the 1990s after visiting Napa for wine tasting. Years later, he started frequenting Paso Robles and fell in love with the people, the food, the wine, and the overall beauty of the area. After his children left for college, he sold the family business and relocated to Paso Robles in 2013 and dug right in. He planted a vineyard in Templeton consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. He went back to school and studied both viticulture and Oenology while serving as an intern at multiple wineries. After making wine at home for several years, he finally decided to make the leap and open our tasting lounge in downtown Paso Robles.
Sharpe Hill has an interesting and historical feel to it. It has a lot of nice, old, beautiful pieces as decor.
The tasting room has eclectically decorated and has about 20 seats. The tasting of 14 wines for $15 (plus glass) is a great way to try all their very different, very tasty wines. They have 3 chardonnays that were all different and lovely. The tasting also includes 2 dessert wines, a white and red.
Craftmanship and Quality are the philosophy behind the winemaking at Beckman Vineyards. A small estate winery founded on the belief that the making of superior wines requires hands on craftmanship.
