OUR WINES

Tarrica Wine Cellars produces hand crafted lots of Paso Robles and Monterey appellation varietal table wines. 
Olde Shandon Port Works
is the winery’s highly recognized specialty Port wine.
Stylistically we intend our “Barrel Matured” Port to provide some of the experience of drinking a Vintage Port but without waiting ten years and at a fraction of the retail price.
