For decades quarter horses, cattle and cowboys roamed the grassy hills of the historic Kentucky Ranch. Today we are full of casual charm, reminiscent of California past and present. Since 2004 Thacher Winery with the grasshopper label, has been handcrafting wines from superb vineyards located throughout California's Central Coast.

Our boutique production demonstrates local subtleties and true local terroir. The award-winning winery and tasting room are situated next to a 100-year-old KR barn with spectacular and ever-changing vistas of vineyards, hayfields, and oak trees. Thacher Winery and vineyards celebrate everything we love about Paso Robles and are sure you will too.

Our Story

Report

Both of us were working at a brewery in 1992. It's the same old story: bartender meets waitress, they fall in love, marry, and start a winery. Sherman started as a brewer and became an award winning brewmaster. He held that responsibility for 16 years. Michelle left the bay area to complete her degree at UCSB.

Report

The "KR" on our barn is a well-known landmark of old time Paso Robles. The Kentucky Ranch- our home, winery, vineyard and gardens was part of a 4,000 acre Spanish Land Grant until 1869 after which it became a thriving horse breeding operation. Our ranch includes the 1920's KR barn, outbuildings, our home, barley fields and riparian habitat for deer, coyotes, bobcats, turkeys and the occasional mountain lion.

We are a family owned and operated, authentic wine producer located in one of the most superb wine growing regions of the world, and fueled by some of the most talented people. We believe in this place that we call home, and the handmade wines that we have to share with you. We have come from other places and have varied backgrounds, and we are grateful to share this lovely part of California with those that are also drawn to Paso Robles.
