Meet the distillers of SLO de VIE in Grover Beach !
Thomas and Anatoly come from two quite different geographical locations: Portugal’s Azores islands and St. Petersburg, Russia. Thomas is a successful real estate developer and Anatoly is classically trained musician, graduate of Juilliard school. For centuries Thomas’ family was making and consuming aguardent and Anatoly’s family, vodka. These home brews were like so many families efforts, a straightforward endeavor, and all for personal consumption.
Fast forward to 2011: the year Thomas and Anatoly met. They soon became friends and business partners. Both enjoyed parties with their families, sharing good wine and food. Both had passion for everything grape: wines, brandies, eau de vie and grappa. Both have taken trips to Europe to observe old world ways of making spirits. After years of trial and error, using an old Portuguese alembic still, they felt ready and confident to bring their stuning grappa product to the market.
If you’re lucky, you’ll run into Jessica Blanco from South County Chambers and she can tell you all about the happenings in and around Grover Beach! Cheers, friends and followers. 🤎🥃

Congratulations to our friends, Alex & Monica Villicana of Re:Find Distillery . Enjoy this great write-up by the Paso Robles Daily News ! ❤️🥃❤️
“On Feb. 8, the Paso Robles wine community will join together to honor a couple who has “exemplified the spirit of Paso Robles Wine Country with outstanding leadership and vision.” Alex and Monica Villicana, owners of Villicana Winery and Re:Find Distillery, will receive the 2023 Paso Robles Wine Industry Persons of the Year award at the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance (PRWCA) Annual Gala.
In an effort to be more sustainable in their winemaking practices, the Villicanas started the first distillery in the region, Re:Find Distillery in 2011. The distillery began by capturing the valuable saignèe that many wineries discard and upcycling it into premium grape based spirits. In the 2022 harvest, Re:Find was able to reclaim the equivalent of a 70-acre vineyard from being discarded. That’s a lot of fuel, water, and manpower being recovered. Their Re:Find project has enabled Paso wineries to recoup some of their grape costs and has created a whole new beverage tourism industry in Paso Robles.

Let’s celebrate RYE JANUARY!🥃🥃
One of the many dog-friendly distilleries along the Paso Robles Distillery Trail is Grain + Vine . Pictured here is our local pack leader’s adorable dog, Rye…posing with her namesake, Rye Whiskey. Go for a ride. Go for a sip. And hit the trails running today with your furry best friend!🐶🤎🥃
Grain + Vine Distillery was founded in 2022 by Jenny and Joe Barton, a husband and wife team that are committed to making high quality craft spirits. Go experience their grain to bottle approach and learn how the grain farmer’s daughter and the grape grower’s son brought two families together as one. Located at Barton Family Wines .

Did you know...Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.

It’s going to get easier to open a distillery in SLO County. Thank you to The Trubune for sharing the GREAT NEWS!🥃🥃
Article by Stephanie Zappelli:
In most cases, San Luis Obispo County businesses could previously only open a distillery on land that was also used for a winery. Next year, however, distilleries will be allowed to operate more independently — potentially making it easier for more to open in the area in the future.
The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 on Tuesday to adopt three big changes to its land use ordinance, giving more freedom to how distilleries and wineries use their property.
“It’s really pretty amazing,” Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance government affairs coordinator Patricia Wilmore told the Tribune on Wednesday. “It’s something that will really bring new business to the county.”
