A Rare Winery Opportunity in One of Paso Robles' Most Storied Neighborhoods

A Rare Winery Opportunity in One of Paso Robles' Most Storied Neighborhoods

Some real estate opportunities are defined by their improvements. Others are defined by their address.

At 2925 Anderson Road, the two are inseparable.

Set on 10.55 acres in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles, this fully operational winery and tasting room occupies an extraordinary position in the heart of the Highway 46 West wine corridor. It is surrounded by some of the names that helped establish modern Paso Robles on the world wine stage, including Booker Vineyard, Fulldraw Vineyard, Niner Wine Estates, Barton Family Wines and Castoro Cellars. Nearby tasting destinations also include Tooth & Nail and Sextant Wines.

This is more than a winery property. It is an opportunity to become part of a neighborhood with genuine agricultural history, international credibility and an enduring culture of independent winemaking.

An Address with Deep Paso Robles Roots

Long before Paso Robles became one of California's most dynamic wine destinations, the Hartenberger family saw its potential.

The idea for Midnight Cellars began during a family trip to Napa and Sonoma in 1993. Two years later, Robert and Mary Jane Hartenberger, together with their son Rich and daughter-in-law Michele, traded familiar lives for the largely undeveloped wine country of Paso Robles. They arrived in July 1995 and began learning every part of the business, from vineyard farming and harvest decisions to winemaking, hospitality and operations.

Two generations built Midnight Cellars as a hands-on family winery, and the Anderson Road estate became the home of its production, storage and guest experience. For three decades, the family emphasized careful farming, honest wines and an approachable style of hospitality. Their story reflects the entrepreneurial spirit that shaped Paso Robles: families willing to work the land, take risks and build something lasting.

That history gives 2925 Anderson Road a sense of place that cannot be manufactured. A future owner will not simply acquire infrastructure. They will take stewardship of a property woven into the growth of Paso Robles wine country.

The Pedigree of the Neighborhood

Anderson Road and the surrounding Highway 46 West corridor read like a chapter in the history of modern Paso Robles wine.

Just up the road, Booker Vineyard carries an agricultural legacy dating to the late 1920s, when brothers Claude and Dick Booker began assembling more than 1,200 acres on Paso Robles' westside. Eric and Lisa Jensen acquired 100 acres of the historic property in 2001. After years of working alongside Justin Smith of Saxum and Stephan Asseo of L'Aventure, the Jensens released Booker's first vintage in 2005. Today, Booker is known for acclaimed Rhône-inspired wines, certified organic farming and Regenerative Organic Certification.

Fulldraw Vineyard began in 2012 when Connor McMahon acquired a 100-acre westside site after six years of farming and winemaking experience at neighboring Booker Vineyard. Fulldraw's organically and regeneratively farmed Rhône varieties reflect the limestone soils and strong maritime influence that distinguish this part of Paso Robles.

The broader neighborhood offers additional depth. Niner Wine Estates began its Paso Robles farming story in 2001 and established Heart Hill Vineyard in the Willow Creek District in 2003. Barton Family Wines traces its roots to the founding of Grey Wolf Cellars in 1994, while Castoro Cellars was established in 1983 and opened its Highway 46 West tasting room in 1990.

Together, these producers represent several generations of Paso Robles winegrowing: early pioneers, family-owned estates, influential Rhône specialists and sustainability-minded producers. For a buyer seeking visibility, credibility and connection to the region's wine culture, few locations offer a comparable concentration of respected neighbors.

A Turnkey Platform with Room to Grow

The property combines an established hospitality setting with meaningful production capacity. Highlights include:

The existing improvements create an attractive foundation for an established producer seeking a westside presence, an emerging brand ready for its own estate, or an investor looking for a winery asset in one of Paso Robles' most desirable wine districts.

The Willow Creek District Advantage

The Willow Creek District is celebrated for its cooling marine influence, rolling terrain and calcareous soils. Warm days and cool nights support long, even ripening, while the district's limestone-rich ground has become closely associated with structured Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and other Rhône and Bordeaux varieties.

Its position between the Adelaida and Templeton Gap districts also places 2925 Anderson Road near many of the producers, vineyards and visitor experiences that define Paso Robles' westside. The location offers the rare combination of rural beauty, established wine-country traffic and proximity to downtown Paso Robles.

The Next Chapter on Anderson Road
