About: Nestled in the rolling hills of Paso Robles, Vinyl Vineyards is the creative vision of husband-and-wife team Jeff and Dina Hevert. What began as a family vineyard has evolved into a one-of-a-kind destination where music, wine, and glamping come together in a one-of-a-kind experience. Each wine carries the spirit of discovery – crafted in small lots, made with intention, and paired with the soundtrack of timeless vinyl.

At Vinyl Vineyards, every detail reflects Jeff and Dina’s passion for creating memorable experiences. Guests can sip while spinning records, stay in restored vintage trailers named after music legends, and explore a property that feels equal parts throwback and fresh discovery. Their wines, ranging from bright Vermentino and vibrant Rosé to bold, soulful blends, speak to the adventurous palates who seek something beyond the expected.

Vinyl Vineyards is proud to share its journey of reinvention: honoring the land while embracing creativity, community, and the joy of finding your new favorite track, whether in the glass or on the turntable.

What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Vermentino. We have been strategically looking for white grape varietals that thrive in East Paso Robles. A neighbor and long-time grower planted some experimental whites up the road from us. We bought a ton from him three years ago and have been in love with the grape ever since. It ripens beautifully, fully expressing its flavors while maintaining acidity. We plan to plant several acres of Vermentino in the next couple of years.

What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? My first experience with lesser-known grapes was chilled reds like Gamay and Cinsault. Thacher Winery in Paso Robles had a winemaker at the time who loved experimenting by picking early, doing some stem inclusion, as well as some carbonic maceration. The flavors of these varietals were bursting out of the glass without needing heavy body or higher alcohol to express themselves.

What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes? Variety is the spice of life. We are blessed in Paso Robles to have so much diversity, from varietals planted to terroirs, winemaker styles to old trends turned new again.
