Clos Solène Winery
The Love Story Behind Clos Solène
At the age of five, Guillaume was captivated by winegrowing, following his father around their property in the Languedoc-Roussillon. As he grew older, his interest expanded to the winemaking process itself. After completing his studies in Oenology and Viticulture in Carcassonne, his parents sold the family property and relocated to Bourg, a village near Bordeaux. Disheartened by their move, Guillaume remained in Languedoc, visiting his parents on weekends but hesitant to join them—until he met her.
It was a “coup de foudre”—a bolt of lightning. Nothing could deter them from seeing each other, though it would be several months before they reunited.
Their lives were filled with challenges; she had to travel to Spain, and he headed to California. Despite the distance, their love endured as they faced obstacles together. When Guillaume asked her to move with him to Paso Robles, choosing to develop his own brand rather than take over the family property, she recognized his passion for wine and decided to trust him. This trust laid the foundation for the creation of Clos Solène in 2007. Although the journey has not always been smooth, Guillaume remains driven by the same passion that fuels his work, attributing much of it to the faith and trust his partner has in him.
Guillaume Fabre
Owner & Winemaker
Born and raised in Narbonne, in the Southeast of France, Guillaume hails from a family of grape growers and winemakers. After spending 24 years in Narbonne, he relocated to Bordeaux. While both regions are renowned for their wines, they are distinctly different, presenting unique challenges in grape growing and winemaking, such as variations in climate, soil types, and vine diseases.
Initially unsure about pursuing winemaking in Bordeaux, Guillaume accepted a harvest internship at L’Aventure in Paso Robles. There, he experienced the same spark of inspiration he felt for Solène—he fell in love with the soil and terroir of Paso Robles. What began as a three-month internship evolved into six months, during which he was offered the position of Assistant Winemaker. Throughout his time at L’Aventure, Guillaume dedicated himself to his own project, ultimately leading to the launch of Clos Solène in 2007.

Pianetta Winery
Pianetta winery is located on the vineyard, fourteen miles north of the downtown Paso Robles tasting room. The majority of the grapes harvested are sold to a major premium winery. Their success with Pianetta Estate grapes as well as their encouragement inspired Pianetta to develop a small winery so as to identify the wine from this vineyard. The first vintage yielded 370 cases of 2002 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Since then, Pianetta has grown to a 2700 case production and added Shiraz, Syrah, a Syrah/Cabernet blend, and a Rose style wine to their Estate wines, as well as Sangiovese, Petite Syrah, Zinfandel, and a Tuscan style blend from the Paso Robles appellation.

Sextant Wines
When you see the sign that says you have arrived at Old Edna, you are at Sextant's tasting room. A two-story tin building made to look old, they have charming grounds that are as fun for the kids as it is for the adults. Outside there is a pen of bantering goats, a fearless hen, old wood shanties, a tree house, picket fences, picnic tables, grass, and plenty of shade to sit and eat. They offer a limited menu of simple food inside and, of course, wine and a few other bottled beverages. The old time charm and novelty is certainly a draw. The tasting room is quite inviting and set up for countertop tastings or more casual small group seatings for eating and drinking, indoors and out.
Benom Wines
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,
Meet Arnaud and Guillaume Fabre, two brothers from France whose passion for winemaking is deeply rooted in their heritage. Their journey to California was sparked by love—Guillaume's ardor for winemaking and limitless farming led him to the picturesque Paso Robles, where he initially joined one of the region’s most esteemed wineries, L’Aventure, before launching his own venture, Clos Solène.
Arnaud's tale is equally captivating, reminiscent of a romantic film. His move to California was driven by his love for Chloe, leading the brothers—Les Deux Frères Fabre—to settle in the heart of Paso Robles.
But the story doesn’t end there. The Fabre brothers invite wine lovers to discover the intriguing chapters of their journey for themselves. With a deep respect for their family legacy spanning six generations in the Languedoc-Roussillon and Bordeaux regions, their winery, BENOM, beautifully marries the freedom of winemaking in Paso Robles with the exceptional talent inherent in the Fabre lineage.

Opolo Vineyards
Rick Quinn and David Nichols started as neighbors, became friends, and eventually joined forces to fulfill their shared dream of creating a winemaking legacy in Paso Robles.
In 1997, Rick and David began planting vineyards, and by 1999, they established their family winery in the coastal mountains of the Willow Creek District. They chose the name Opolo to honor Quinn's Serbian heritage, referencing a rosé-style wine native to the Dalmatian Coast.
Although the modern winemaking era in Paso Robles was just beginning, Rick and David recognized the region’s immense potential. They focused on Zinfandel, a heritage grape of Paso Robles, as well as Bordeaux and Rhône varieties that would come to define the area's reputation.
Since then, Opolo has become a cornerstone of the Paso Robles experience, known for its widely acclaimed estate wines, warm hospitality, and legendary wine club. Today, Opolo offers a diverse selection of wines, including the iconic Mountain Zinfandel, limited-release reserves, and vineyard designates. Visitors are invited to explore the world of Opolo at their tasting room.
