Thursday, March 25 @ 3 p.m. – The El Pomar District
At the center of the greater Paso Robles American Viticultural Area (AVA) is the El Pomar District. As is the story with much of California’s central coast, agriculture has everything to do with its namesake. Derived from the Latin word “pomum”, or edible fruit, it has commonly come to mean Orchard in Spanish. Nut orchards, mostly Almond, were long the primary fruit in the El Pomar area. Many orchards were planted as early as 1886 and by 1968, El Pomar had 1,375 acres of almonds and 36 acres of walnuts. The El Pomar District viticultural area encompasses approximately 21,300 acres with a little over 2,000 acres under vine. Vineyards in the region are not new, nor just replace former orchards as they have been recorded as early as the late 1800s. We will meet three producers whose vineyards are at the center of the El Pomar District and who collectively farm over 100 acres.
