Toucan
Wines is one of the smallest family owned estate micro-wineries in
California,
producing hand-crafted, estate grown, premium
Zinfandel and Petite Sirah wines in the Arroyo Grande Valley. Our limited
production of estate wines from our
3½ estate vineyard
total less than 300 cases per
year.

Toucan
Wines is located on the beautiful central coast of California, in the
Arroyo
Grande Valley AVA, in the foothills near the Huasna
Valley in San Luis Obispo County. Our
small hillside
vineyard is planted to "old clone" head-trained Zinfandel and
Petite Sirah vines known for low yields and balanced fruit.
Our vines, grafted from the 1923 planting of
the highly regarded Benito Dusi vineyard,
thrive by
producing intensely
colored and
flavorful fruit in our microclimate of warm-to-hot days and cool nights.
We
marry this fabulous fruit with both
traditional and
modern
winemaking on a
scale that makes us
one of the smallest
wineries and estate
vineyards in California.
Small
by any standard, our micro-winery is focused on
quality - it’s our limited production
and attention to
detail that set our wines apart. Our winery and
estate vineyard, located next to our family home, produces full-bodied and
richly flavored
wines taking full advantage of what our old-clone vines and our microclimate
have to offer.
