Mettler Family Vineyards: Located in Adelaida District, Paso Robles, 12 Miles from Pacific

Mettler Family Vineyards sits on the western edge of Paso Robles in San Luis Obispo County, California — specifically within the Adelaida District AVA (American Viticultural Area).

Key Location Details

• Address area: Western Paso Robles, near the intersection of Adelaida Road and Vineyard Drive
• AVA: Adelaida District — known for calcareous soils, high elevation (1,000–2,000 ft), large diurnal shifts
• Distance to Pacific: ~12 miles (19 km) — maritime influence cools afternoons, extends hang time
• Neighbors: Tablas Creek, Halter Ranch, L'Aventure, Daou, Justin — elite company

Why Adelaida Matters

This sub-AVA is prized for Cabernet Sauvignon, Rhône blends (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre), and Zinfandel. The combination of:

• Limestone-rich soils (from ancient seabed)
• High elevation → intense UV, thick skins
• Marine layer intrusion → acid retention
• Low rainfall → concentrated fruit

…makes it one of California's most distinctive terroirs.

Visiting

• Tasting by appointment (check website)
• Scenic drive through oak-studded hills
• Close to Paso Robles downtown (15 min) and Hearst Castle (45 min)
