The journey into wine began with Kory’s visit over 20 years ago to
Australia in Barossa Valley, traveling to many of its wineries. The intimate
engagements and world class wines ignited a 20+ year passion for wine
with the goal to find a perfect place to dive deep into winemaking and
share that love with others. Catherine and Kory have since made wine a
central part of their lives visiting many regions around the US and Europe
and then moving to Paso Robles, CA, to start making their own wine at
Gelfand Vineyards. In 2020 the couple officially became owners of the
over 20-year-old Gelfand Vineyards and also now serve as the winemaker
sharing some of California’s best and hidden gem wines from all estate
grown fruit. The 25-acre property features Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel,
Petite Sirah, Syrah, Malbec, Tempranillo and Sangiovese. While producing
just 2,000 cases annually, Catherine and Kory believe the secret to
success is growing high quality fruit, focused time and attention in the
winemaking process and building long-lasting relationships with visitors
to the boutique vineyard that is Gelfand Vineyards. They look forward to
sharing these wines and creating many more memories with you.
