Founded in 1981 by Justin Baldwin, JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery sits along Chimney Rock Road in Paso Robles, California — a region whose wide day-to-night temperature swings and limestone-rich soils have made it one of California's most compelling Bordeaux-style wine appellations. The 26-acre estate encompasses working vineyards, underground wine caves used for barrel storage and cellar tours, an edible Chef's Garden, and the ISOSCELES Library, a recently renovated space where signature tasting experiences take place. The property hosts a range of private events, from intimate wedding ceremonies on the vineyard terrace to corporate gatherings and proposals, all set against views of the surrounding wine country. Guests can extend their stay at the JUST Inn, the estate's on-site boutique accommodation offering suites, a villa, and a chateau. The Restaurant at JUSTIN, recognized by Michelin and Forbes, serves seasonal multicourse tasting menus Thursday through Sunday, drawing on ingredients grown on the estate's own farmstead. The events team can be reached directly to arrange private gatherings on the property.

The property has deep historical roots, with its centerpiece structure — a restored 1863 dairy barn — serving as the heart of the event experience.
