I love the phrase “kill two birds with one stone” so much as it just defines my life as a multi-tasker, mom, writer, wife, housekeeper, taxi driver, etc! So when we were traveling around Paso Robles on a recent media tour we chose to visit a winery that doubled as an ‘art gallery’ if you will. Also it meant that the teens and our younger daughter had something to do while mom and dad indulged in some wine tasting, so perfect all around! This is what we found at Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden.
Owned by the Frankel family, Sculpterra embodies 20 acres of pistachios, over 20 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 acres of Zinfandel, and 10 acres of Merlot. Cabernet Franc, Mouvedre, Petite Sirah and Viognier are the more recent additions to the vineyard.
Sculpterra now features a fine portfolio of ultra premium wines, fine art and a multi million dollar sculpture garden with art from world-renowned sculptor John Jagger, sculptor in residence Dale Evers, and master blacksmith/iron worker Robert Bentley that greets guests and makes for a memorable wine tasting experience. Sculpterra also displays the works of numerous other artists, and they continue to search for unique local talent to display their art and goods, continually spreading the word on the bounty of talent in the area.
We fell in love with their 2013 Viognier and enjoyed snacking on their pistachios that they also sell plain and flavored! Here’s a tour in photos of their stunning property, you really should take a visit!
