“Our goal each year is to make pleasurable wines that reflect the best of our terroir, but who cares what I say, do you f–ing like it? That is what matters.”

After leaving France in 1996 he founded L'Aventure in 1998 and has spent the last 25 years creating masterfully blended red wines, while helping to build the reputation of the Paso Robles Wine Country as well as mentoring many local winemakers along the way.
Where the Wine is Made
About
L'Aventure
The spirit of L'Aventure is most evident in Stephan's "Paso Blends", such as Optimus and Estate Cuvée. Both wines are Syrah/Cabernet Sauvignon/Petit Verdot blends. In these wines, as well as in his Rhône blend, Côte à Côte, the blending of premium varietals increases the authenticity, complexity, and balance of the wines. In this adventurous spirit, L’Aventure find the future of Paso Robles wines...pleasurable, balanced red blends.
