The Donati Family Vineyard winery is located in Templeton, California, the heart of Paso Robles Wine Country.
Paso Robles
The international underdog of California AVAs, with iconic Oak trees throughout the Eastside and Westside vineyards. The Eastside's diurnal cycle is long hot days and cold breezy nights whereas the Westside microclimate is known for the cooling winds from the Templeton Gap and lesser growing degree days. Paso Robles, with its 11 sub-AVAs, is particularly known for its rich wines and dramatic temperature swings that enhance flavor and acidity.
