The “KR” on our barn is a well-known landmark of old time Paso Robles. The Kentucky Ranch, our home and the future home to our 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. The vineyard was planted in Spring of 2007, it consists of zinfandel and petite syrah.

Since 2004 Thacher Winery with the grasshopper label, has been hand crafting wines from superb vineyards found on the Westside of Paso Robles and in Southern Monterey County. Our boutique production of Rhone blends and zinfandels demonstrate local subtleties and true westside terroir. Construction of the tasting room and 4600 square foot winery was completed in 2008, just in time for our fourth harvest of about 33 tons of premimum wine grapes. Case production was about 1800 cases in 2008 - almost double the production of previous years. Currently we are pouring seven wines in the tasting room, including a couple of beautiful zinfandels from head trained and dry farmed westside vineyards and the smooth and complex, gold medal syrahs from Monterey County. We welcome visitors every weekend and you will nearly always find Sherman or Michelle in the tasting room.
