Choose your tasting experience
Wine tasting today is different
from 20 or 30 years ago. There is a
focus on history, terroir, learning
about wine, and what’s behind the
wine in the glass. It’s a fun experi-
ence, educational, and tasting at this
winery creates lasting memories.
You may be familiar with the
J. Lohr label, which is often seen
on retail shelves. What you may
not know is the number of J. Lohr
wines that are small production (a
few hundred cases), artisanal, and
dedicated to highlighting specific
vineyard blocks, blends, and terroir.
These elegant and exclusive wines
are available only at the winery,
through the wine club, or online.
When you participate in the
wine tasting experience at J. Lohr,
you get to choose from different
tastings, such as:
• The Seasonal Tasting: featuring
winery-exclusive small-lot wines,
both red and white.
• J. Lohr Legacy Tasting: featur-
ing three Cuvées, an homage to
Bordeaux, presenting Grand Cru-
style wines of Pomerol (*POM),
St. Emilion (*St. E), and Pauillac
(*PAU).
• J. Lohr Paso Robles Vineyard
to Vintage-A Production Tour:
a sneak peek into behind-the-
scenes sustainable winemaking
- including the demonstration
vineyard, crush pad, fermenta-
tion and barrel room, with barrel
tastings.
These are just a few of the
wine tasting experiences at J.
Lohr. Be sure to add the J. Lohr
Paso Robles Wine Center to your
next excursion to the area. You
won’t be disappointed!
