About#2 Winery Design in the World by Architectural Digest
EPOCH: ĕp´ǒk - pronounced "epic"
Estate grown in West Paso Robles, CA
Founded in 2004 by geologists, Bill and Liz Armstrong, Epoch is an ultra-premium producer of wines from Rhone, Bordeaux, and Spanish varieties grown on their three west Paso Robles estate vineyards – Paderewski, Catapult, and York Mountain. Winemaker, Jordan Fiorentini, carefully crafts these highly-rated wines, consistently scoring 95-100 points, utilizing organic and biodynamic practices.
Epoch’s Winery and Tasting Room are located off of 46 West at the historic York Mountain property, once home to one of the first bonded wineries on the Central Coast. Their Paderewski Vineyard was once owned, farmed, and cherished by Polish Prime Minister and famed pianist, Ignacy Jan Paderewski in the early 1900s. As the steward of both of these integral pieces of Paso Robles history, Epoch is committed to the land it cherishes, the quality wines crafted, and the rich legacies now shared with the next generation of Epoch drinkers.
Open Daily 10:00am to 4:00pm by reservation at their Tasting Room on Historic York Mountain. -
