kukkula

kukkula Kukkula, which means "hill" or "high place" in Finnish, aptly describes the 80-acre Jussila property.

Located on the west side of Paso Robles overlooking the historic Adelaida Schoolhouse, the property is comprised of 29 acres of vines, 8 acres of olives, 32 acres of mature walnut trees, and a spectacular modern home and winery facility. With another property on Adelaida Road, we farm a total of 49 acres of vines, all are dry-farmed and organic.

Art imitates life!

These cute pups graced us with their presence and even let me take a picture!

First we have Vaalea (Finnish for blonde or fair) and then noir (French for dark)! Okay, not their real names, but they are good doggos never the less!

Blending for 2025 is a wrap!

Also, I guess we need to add climbing to Kevin's list of hobbies! *Tanks are larger than they appear*

Kevin talks a bit about blending this past week with Curren, our assistant winemaker, and our friend Jerry from Decemil. 2025 is shaping up to be a great year for our grapes!

We're excited to be pouring at Paired Paso tonight, just one of the many great events this weekend at !

We're pouring 2021 noir with Mediterranean moussaka made by long time friend, Chef Josรฉ Dahn! If you're attending, please come say hi to Kevin and Chef Josรฉ!

You may notice the picture above is featuring a different kind of pairing, our estate syrah vines and our bottled syrah. I wanted to give our growing grapes some inspiration! Come visit Melina in the tasting room this weekend and help cheer our plants on to veraison! (they can hear us you know!)

The aftermath of yesterdayโ€™s fire. It started with this car overheating and becoming engulfed in flames! Could have been a lot worse! Thanks for the quick response Cal Fire and CHP!

05/10/2026

And lo and behold, moments later Motorcycle CHP officer Dave from the Templeton station showed up at the kukkula doorstep asking for a way to wash off some Phos-check. Just another day at kukkula! Great work guys!

05/10/2026

Just off the east end of kukkulaโ€™s property. Cal Fire at their best! They were on it in minutes. Thanks for all you do!!
