Winemaker For The Day: Art of Blending Event
Ever Dreamed of Being a Winemaker for a Day?
Now’s Your Chance!
We’re handing over the pipettes and pouring the barrel samples — it’s time to roll up your sleeves and blend. This summer at Parrish Family Vineyard, you’re invited to step beyond the tasting room and into the heart of the winemaking process at our Art of Blending event held in the winery!
Led by winemakers David Parrish and Cody Alt, this hands-on event gives you the chance to learn how great blends are made — and then create one yourself! You’ll explore how to balance acidity, flavor concentration, and alcohol while mastering the art of bold, structured Bordeaux-style blends with nuance and finesse. You’ll work with the same component wines as everyone else, but what you create is completely up to you! Some blends will be silky and smooth, others bold and expressive. There’s no pressure… but who knows — your creation just might rival one of ours!

Spring is a beautiful time of year to visit Paso Robles and the Parrish Family Vineyard tasting room at 3590 Adelaida Road, Paso Robles, CA. This time of year you will see bud break and the beginning of the year's growing season. Learn more about this special time.
Here, we explore why a 5-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon offers a drinking experience that surpasses its younger counterparts.
There are a lot of options and factors that make barrel decisions complex for the winemaker. It is an important decision as the chosen vessel will direct the structure and flavor profile of the wine.
The 2024 vintage was a hot vintage with an extremely warm and long Summer in Paso Robles. We began harvest on August 30th with our Sauvignon Blanc and completed harvest on October 16th with Petite Sirah and Grenache. To give us a little more insight, we caught up with Winemaker, Cody Alt to learn more about the vintage. How did the hot weather impact the harvest? Cody: It was reminiscent of the 2022 vintage. Our yields were lower for us as well as most of Paso Robles. David said it is not uncommon for vines to auto-regulate after a high-yield year. Last year (2023) we had a much milder Summer and a cool Fall, which increased our yield.
Our 2020 Petit Verdot is a bold and expressive wine, showcasing the full intensity of this distinctive varietal.
