Open: Year-Round

About

In the 1970s, Leon Tackitt’s grandfather brought 29 Gewürztraminer vines back from Germany and planted them on his Paso Robles property. Over the years, he kept his craft to home winemaking, but the grapes adapted well to the area and flourished.

With retirement from a 28-year career in the U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), coming into view, Leon and his wife Cindy dreamed of making their own wine from the modest family vineyard. In the fall of 2007, Cindy and Leon decided to take what his grandfather had planted to the next level, and Tackitt Family Vineyards began.
