When you drive through the gates of the Peletierre Winery/Farmhouse, you immediately know you’re in a very special place! The proprietor, Janis, greets you with her welcoming smile and invites you to join her in the tasting room. We enjoyed a flight of her wines, produced by Janis and a well known wine maker, Amy Butler - and when I say enjoyed, I mean savored every sip as these are truly exceptional wines. We bought a case of everything we tried and were excited to join the Peletierre wine club!
Now, onto our stay at the Farmhouse. As we stepped into the kitchen of the Farmhouse, we immediately felt at home and in love with it. Janis thoughtfully provided us a bottle of her Zinfandel, which we enjoyed that evening as we prepared a family dinner “at home” that night. The home is well layed out for four people to enjoy themselves, while also feeling as if they have privacy. The dining room has a long wooden table with seating for 6, with French doors leading to a deck with seating - perfect for enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day, watching the sun set behind the mountains and estate vineyards.
The living room is beautifully decorated, and is warm and inviting. Leather sofas and chairs face another set of French doors to the deck overlooking acres of vineyards, and the outdoor “living room”. Throw blankets of various sizes/textures are found throughout the house, which is not only visually delightful, it ensured we were cozy as we sat and read or chatted about our fabulous day of wine tasting. Carefully curated personal touches throughout the home, make it feel like you’re staying in your best friend’s home.
Each bedroom is well put together and absolutely beautiful. Again, the design is well thought out, inviting and cozy. The master bedroom is expansive, with views of the estate vineyard from two windows. Two chairs on the other side of the bed, allow for a couple to relax, read and enjoy some quiet time before bed. On the other side of the stairwell there is a gorgeous master bathroom with double sinks, a large shower and plenty of natural light. The Turkish towels provided by Janis were intriguing and we loved reading about them in the framed description.
This home continued to delight us throughout our memorable stay in Paso Robles.
We are still talking about it, and plan to make the beautiful Peletierre Farmhouse and Winery a regular weekend getaway, and our annual post holiday family gathering!
