Alta Colina

SoCal Only - Alta Colina Vineyard and Winery produces world-class estate wines exclusively from Rhône varietals. They grow every grape at the Alta Colina Estate Vineyard on the Westside of Paso Robles, savoring the journey and remaining committed to maintaining the core values of integrity and respect—for their people, partners, patrons, and the natural environment.

Since the 1970’s, Bob Tillman has looked for the site where he could plant a world-class vineyard. He didn’t find that property until the Tillman family moved to the Central Coast of California and tasted the wines coming out of Paso Robles. Finally, he and his wife Lynn were in a place to produce the kind of wines they love to drink.

In 2003, after an extensive search for the ideal location, Bob found the beautiful hilltop property on Adelaida Road in Paso Robles that would become Alta Colina Vineyard. After a year of land preparation, Bob planted 8 Rhone varietals across 31 acres in Westside Paso Robles. 

Owner/Winemaker

Owner and winemaker Bob Tillman is the man behind Alta Colina. After 35 years in the high-tech business world, Bob launched Alta Colina in 2003. From the beginning, the enterprise was dedicated to nurturing world-class wines from a magical site tucked into the Coast Range west of Paso Robles. But it’s really more than creating world-class wines—Bob also pulled together a group of top-notch people that have formed an exceptional team on both the Vineyard and Winery sides of the business including consulting winemakers Amy Butler and Scott Hawley and farming guru John Crossland.
