Parrish Family Vineyard, a family-owned winery, offers estate wines, stunning views, and culinary delights with a focus on quality and sustainability.

It could be said that winemaking was just in David Parrish’s roots. Parrish learned from his grandfather about grape growing at a very young age as he helped around the golf course. His grandfather instilled in him work ethic, but also wisdom from the vineyard.

Starting with a passion for grape growing, Parrish graduated from UC Davis in 1974 and spent 20 years working on vineyard trellising with the Napa greats, Robert Mondavi and Bob Steinhauer of Beringer Winery. He has had several patents in three countries for trellis design of grapes and other fruit, and is considered an expert in the field. Parrish has continued to work in vineyard trellising and is celebrating 50 years in 2023.

In 1995, Parrish moved back to the Central Coast to grow Cabernet Sauvignon closer to where his grandfather had planted the original vineyard. Parrish purchased 40 acres in Creston and made his first vintage of estate Cabernet Sauvignon in 2004. He opened a tasting room in downtown Paso Robles in 2011 and planted 80 more acres in Templeton (sold in 2022) and 30 acres in Adelaida.
