When The Hunt Family decided to pursue their dream they spent exhaustive days and weekends traveling to premium wine regions in Oregon, Washington, and California. They finally narrowed their decision down to San Luis Obispo County. Paso Robles was selected because of its rich diversity in soils, superb growing climate and unique styles of wine making along with the spirit of graciousness and traditional American values.

Eventually after looking at numerous parcels, they settled on uniquely beautiful property containing over 550 acres on Highway 41 in Creston. This property met their criteria in topography, soil composition and unparalleled beauty. Within the 550 acres there are four areas with varying elevations containing soil composites that mirror the great wine regions of the world where they could grow wonderful, exciting, intense fruit for making superior wines.
