Toucan Wines is our Central Coast micro-winery and vineyard producing hand-crafted, estate grown, premium Zinfandel and Petite Sirah wines. Our limited production of estate wines from our 3½ - acre vineyard total about 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 on a ranch known as Tar Springs. Our very small 3½ - acre hillside vineyard is planted to "old clone" head-trained Zinfandel and Petite Sirah vines known for low-yields and balanced fruit. Grafted from the 1923 planting of the highly regarded Benito Dusi vineyard in Paso Robles.

Our  vines 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, micro-wineries like ours are focused on quality - it’s our wine’s limited production, our focus, and attention to detail that helps 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 the old-clone vines and the microclimate have to offer.
