The hand-crafted offerings of Hearst Ranch Winery have been brought to life by the collaboration of sound agricultural practices, impeccable winemaking and the philanthropic involvement of Steve Hearst and Jim Saunders. The fruit from California’s Central Coast vineyards is among the finest in the world. Blend in the talent of our winemaker and you get Hearst Ranch Wines, exhibiting the excellence that is a testimony to the “Legacy of Quality™”—synonymous with the Hearst tradition.

Founded in 2010 by friends, Jim Saunders and Steve Hearst, Hearst Ranch Winery is a premium producer of wines from their estate Paso Robles vineyard. Winemaker Soren Christensen has been making wines from the Saunders Vineyard since 2005 when he first met Jim Saunders. Their relationship flourished even more when Soren became official Winemaker for Hearst Ranch Winery in 2014. Along with Soren, his wine brand Anonimo was embraced with open arms as he produces Italian inspired wines. Jim Saunders's son, Scott, has been full-time with Hearst since 2011, and he also started the brand Arbuckle Ridge, which focuses on making deeply extracted red wines with unique blends. We look forward to sharing a taste of all three brands with you at the SDWG event.
