A labor of love
Peachy Canyon’s production has
been reduced over the past six or so
years, focusing on their three estate
vineyards – Mustang Springs, Snow,
and Old Schoolhouse. Each West-
side Paso Robles vineyard ranges
widely in terroir and is farmed
using sustainable practices.
Under the direction of Rodolfo
Martinez and Javier Herrera, the
vineyard team keeps the fields and
80 acres of estate vineyards healthy
and happy. Water conservation
is important, and the fruit is har-
vested by hand.
“We have a choreography we
all dance to at harvest time, and
it’s pretty cool,” Jake said. “Com-
munication is essential, so we make
sure we're picking the fruit Drew
is expecting us to pick. Sustainable
farming takes a lot of time and a lot
more tractor driving, but it’s what
we focus on.”
Reflecting on nearly 40 years
in the industry, Doug said he and
Nancy didn't establish Peachy
Canyon Winery as an investment,
but as a second career after they
both retired from teaching. “Even
more importantly,” he said, “it’s
been a way to demonstrate how
family can work together and make
a difference. Family has always been
a priority for us. It’s been our hope
from the start that future genera-
tions would carry Peachy Canyon
forward.”
Jake agreed, saying, “We love
farming, we love the industry, and
we feel grateful and blessed to be
part of it. Day after day, we work as
a team here and have a good time
while we’re doing it. We hope that
comes across to everyone who visits
– we want everyone to feel welcome
and enjoy our wines!”
