Owner
John H. Niven
John has been rooted and innovating wines in the Edna Valley for over 25 years, but his story started many decades earlier. His grandfather Jack Niven trailblazed the planting of San Luis Obispo’s modern day vines in the early 1970’s and is considered the pioneer of the Edna Valley. Jack planted his historic Paragon Vineyard just after John was born. Little did he know that these plantings and his vision would determine the fate of the region. Decades later, this fate led John and his wife Lucy, down the path to start their own winery focusing on vibrant energetic white wines from the Edna Valley.
