Nestled along the scenic Pleasant Valley Wine Trail in San Miguel, Riverstar Vineyards represents the heart of Paso Robles’ authentic family winemaking tradition. This 58-acre estate vineyard, owned and operated by the passionate Reinertson family since 2016, offers visitors an intimate glimpse into hands-on winemaking where multiple generations work side by side to craft exceptional wines from estate-grown grapes.
What sets Riverstar apart is their commitment to creating a genuine family atmosphere where guests become part of their extended wine family, complete with onsite vacation rentals for those who want to wake up among the vines.
