OUR EVENING' S WINES HOSTED BY

The Filippini family history in the Paso Robles area began in the early 1960s when the family of winery owner Sylvia Filippini purchased the property where Le Vigne winery now stands. Hay and cattle were the main commodities until 1982 when the first grapevines were planted. That time was the catalyst for what evolved into the current Paso Robles wine region. Early on, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon were planted to supplement the growing demand of other wine-growing regions like Napa and Sonoma. As the vines matured, growers and winemakers began to see real potential for the area with its unique soils, climate, and coastal influence.

The grapes grown on the estate were highly regarded by local producers and always in demand. Recognizing the quality, the family began making wine with grapes from the property beginning in 1989. Then they built a state-of-the-art winery in 1995 and developed additional vineyards in 1998. They expanded the winery’s varieties to include: Merlot, Syrah, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc in addition to the original plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Additionally, small blocks of Grenache, Petite Sirah, Malbec, and Tannat were planted.

Le Vigne Winery is the culmination of a love of food, wine, and family shared by owners Walter and Sylvia Filippini.
