    Sitting on a beautiful 10 acres, only 12 miles east of Paso Robles, Bon Niche Cellars has 7 acres of SIP Certified vineyards, producing Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. Originally planted in 2007, the vineyard is cared for by Melani and a menagerie of farm animals, including Gilbert, the winery pig. A Navy Nurse, Melani found her passion for wine while stationed in Naples, Italy, and loves to share her experience and wines with you in a unique, family-style setting.

    This Woman-Owned Winery is “off the beaten path” and highlights locally-grown grapes, incredible wine country views, and a relaxed atmosphere. Our wine selections include Bordeaux-style single varietals and blends, as well as Albariño, Syrah, Zinfandel, and a Dessert Wine.

    We'd love to share our wines with you.
