August 20, 2025 (Templeton, CA) — Planted in 1924 by Amadeo Martinelli and still organically farmed on original stock, the Martinelli Vineyard brings over 100 years of winemaking heritage to market in Templeton. This producing Zinfandel vineyard spans 9.6± acres in the Templeton Gap District of the Paso Robles AVA.
Approximately 6.06 acres of head-trained Zinfandel are currently under contract with Turley Wine Cellars, with annual yields ranging from 4.47 to 12.56 tons. The estate includes an original 1934 winery, the fifth bonded post-Prohibition in San Luis Obispo County, now joined by a newly added ADA-compliant bathroom and separate meeting room. A 1920s cottage houses the current bonded cellar and has been partially updated with a new roof, plumbing, windows, and a spacious deck with vineyard views. While further interior updates are needed, architectural plans are included for restoration or a future build. A permitted manufactured home with its own entrance and workshop is also located on the property. Historic trees also add greenery, ambiance, and fresh fruit to the landscape.
With a wine production permit in place, on-site infrastructure, and meaningful expansion potential, this listing blends historical character with modern opportunity. It’s a chance for lifestyle buyers or investors to shape a new chapter in Paso Robles wine country. Limited ownership financing potentially available.
