About
Barton Family Wines
Joe Barton, Owner & Director of Winemaking, has made it his life mission to carry on his father’s legacy and create a distinct style, sourcing from dry-farmed vineyards in the Paso Robles Willow Creek, Templeton Gap and Adelaida District AVAs. Farming is the core of his business. Understanding the unique microclimates of Paso Robles distinct AVAs identifies the best location for growing a variety of wines with regional character.
Established in 1994, Joe and his wife Jenny run the family business as a husband-and-wife team. Joe’s mom, Shirlene, is also an integral part of the day-to-day operations still and they are a completely owned and operated family business to this day. They added Barton’s Kitchen in 2013, offering farm-to-table, casual cuisine. In 2012 a Craft Distillery was added the property, offering tastes of rye whiskey, bourbon, rum, vodka, and gin. The Barton Family Estate is the only site on the 46 West corridor in Paso Robles that offers Wine, Food and Spirits all in one location. What more could you ask for when looking for a genuine Paso Robles tasting experience like no other.
