Thacher Winery and Vineyard Discovers the Cheerful Aspect of Paso Robles
Thacher Winery: A Family-Run Wine Haven in Paso Robles
Sherman Thacher, a prominent figure in the Paso Robles wine community, has been making wine in the Adelaida district for over two decades. Thacher, along with his wife Michelle, established the small but notable Thacher Winery in the early 2000s [1]. Their choice of Paso Robles as a home for their family and their winery was driven by a desire for a serene location that would allow them to raise their children and cultivate the Thacher Winery brand.
Located at 8355 Vineyard Drive, the Thacher Winery offers a diverse selection of wines, including sparkling, delicate Cinsault, Zinfandel, and Rhône-style blends [1]. Visitors are warmly welcomed, with tastings available daily for $20 [1]. The property boasts an outdoor seating area with picturesque views, as well as a notable historical feature—a 100-year-old Kentucky Ranch barn [1].
Sherman Thacher is highly regarded in the local wine community for his dedication to winemaking and his long-standing presence in the region. He frequently participates in events such as Winemaker dinners and is actively involved in promoting the Paso Robles wine scene [2]. Thacher Winery is also recognised for its high-quality wines and commitment to the area, having formed partnerships such as ShareVino, a wine-sharing network [3][4].
Sherman Thacher's personal education began outside the classroom, as he grew up on an orange orchard in Ojai, surrounded by nature [5]. His great-grandfather founded the Thacher School in Ojai, a renowned institution known for its balance of academics and rugged outdoor learning, including horse care [6]. After finishing high school in Santa Ynez, Sherman attended a British boarding school [7].
The Thacher family's connection to Paso Robles runs deep, with students at the school where Sherman finished high school living in log cabins and chopping wood for heating and hot water [8]. Sherman Thacher still maintains a close connection to his roots, occasionally taking his son, Cody, out of school to help with harvest and light winemaking [9].
The Thacher Winery's website also features a variety of articles on wine-related topics. These include an article about the hidden wine gems of the Italian coast, a list of the 20 best rosés from beyond Provence this year, and an article inspired by Bordeaux discussing the history of Virginia's Meritage blends [10]. There is also an article focusing on Willow Creek, the coolest sub-region in Paso Robles, and another premium guide to Ontario Pinot Noir [11].
As Paso Robles looks to Bordeaux for sustainable insights [12], the Thacher Winery continues to contribute to the region's wine industry, offering a unique and inviting tasting experience for visitors and producing high-quality wines that reflect the family's deep connection to the land and their commitment to the Paso Robles wine community.
