Curious about exploring new wines or looking for a relaxing day out? For those looking for a laid-back and completely unpretentious experience, Kiamie is a standout. The vibe is decidedly "different," featuring a rustic aesthetic that mirrors the winery’s authentic, family-owned roots. Visitors are often greeted at their cars by friendly dogs, only to find a charismatic goat waiting to welcome them at their table. It is a place where the personality of the farm is as bold as the wines themselves.

Why You Should Grab The Offer

iamie Wine Cellars is the result of a unique collaboration between Aram Deirmenjian and Greg Johnson, two friends who bonded over a shared passion for wine while living in New York City. Their partnership bridges two distinct worlds: Aram provides the viticultural foundation, having grown up working his family's vineyards, while Greg brings a refined perspective shaped by his family’s New York real estate legacy and years in high-end wine retail. Together, they realized their dream of establishing a boutique winery in Paso Robles, named "Kiamie" in honor of Greg’s mother’s maiden name.

Stepping onto the property, it’s immediately clear that Kiamie eschews a "corporate" feel in favor of a rustic, authentic atmosphere. Visitors are often greeted not just by the owner or winemaker, but by a lively cast of resident goats and dogs that give the estate its personality. During a tasting, the experience is deeply intimate; it’s not uncommon for the owners to share the rich history of the area while escaping the heat in their cozy tasting room.

The true highlight of a visit often lies in the spontaneous education provided by the winemakers themselves. Getting to sample individual components of a red blend directly from the barrel offers a rare, "behind-the-curtain" look at how a wine’s flavor profile is layered and evolved. This hands-on approach reflects their core vision: to create truly distinctive blends that aren't limited by predefined styles, but are instead a raw, high-quality expression of the best fruit Paso Robles has to offer.
