Stacked Stone Cellars

Specialties

The estate vineyard produces low yields of highly concentrated, jammy, and intense Zinfandel fruit. The vines are sustainably dry farmed and head pruned on the west side Paso Robles, where the soils are rich in minerals and nutrients. The soil is calcareous and siliceous composed of shale, mudstone, siltstone and limestone providing the optimum terroir for Zinfandel. The estate fruit is gently harvested to produce our flagship and award wining wine the «Zin Stone».

History

Established in 1998.

Stacked Stone Cellars began in 1998 when owner, Donald Thiessen, united his love of fine craftsmanship with a love of wine. Stacked Stone Cellars produces small quantities of hand crafted wine. Donald named his «liquid assets» after the elaborate stacked stone landscaping adorning the winery grounds and estate vineyard.

Stacked Stone Cellars is a family-​owned and sustainable farmed, westside winery nestled among the rolling hills of Peachy Canyon, minutes from Downtown Paso Robles. Come taste our handcrafted small lots of award-​winning wines, enjoy our picnic facilities under the ancient oaks and join us for a starlit summer concert. Open 11 a.m. — 5 p.m. Friday — Saturday; 12 — 5 p.m. Sunday and by appointment.
