In 2007, we embraced the entrepreneurial spirit, trusted our instincts, and—with no compromises—planted our first vineyard. We have since become part of the most enthusiastic and exhilarating wine community in the world. DAOU Family Estates is proof that everything is possible. By rewarding innovation and creativity and recognizing that people are the heart and soul of our business, we have built a company based on passion, excellence, shared values, and respect for the terroir and the art of winemaking. We have dedicated ourselves to producing wines of the highest quality, delivering world-class guest experiences, advocating thoughtful stewardship through sustainable wine-growing practices, and creating a work environment that attracts and inspires high-performing people. We are fierce about our culture and mission and work every day to bring joy. Located in the mountains of Paso Robles, DAOU Family Estates handcrafts collectible, award-winning wines that rival the most respected appellations in the world. Our grapes are grown in the Adelaida AVA, which boasts remarkable steep-sloped geology, a cool Napa climate, and Bordeaux soil; they are hand-harvested at the peak of ripeness, cold-soaked to bring out color and flavor, and fermented with native yeast. Aged in new French oak, our inky reds and silky whites are free run and SIP-certified.
