Re:Find Handcrafted Spirits
The owners of Villicana Winery in west Paso Robles launched the first local distillery in 2011, aiming to repurpose the saignée (free-run juice) that's typically tossed out during the wine-making process. They ferment and distill the high-quality juices into premium spirits, thus reclaiming about 70 acres of premium wine grapes. Taste vodka (including kumquat and cucumber versions), gin, whiskey, bourbon, and limoncello in the tiny barrel-room tasting space or outdoors under the oaks.
