Meet the man behind the magic✨🍷
Chris Eberle has been our Head W**emaker at Eberle W**ery since 2015-and no, he is not related to Gary Eberle. What brought them together? A shared love for the Central Coast and the incredible fruit it produces.
A California native with roots across the state, Chris earned his Ag Business degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and a diploma in enology from Washington State University before starting here as an assistant w**emaker in 2006. By 2009, his journey took him around the world
-25 vintages across South Africa, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, and France. From running 200+ experiments in Germany to meeting his wife Tessa in Australia, every step shaped the w**emaker he is today.
When he returned to Paso Robles in 2015, it felt like coming home.
Chris thrives on the challenges of our dynamic climate, crafting w**es that are balanced, expressive, and true to varietal. Under his leadership, Eberle has seen a record number of award-winning w**es-proof that passion, experience, and a global perspective make all the difference.
His philosophy? Balance is everything-from the color in your glass to the final sip.
When he's not in the cellar, you'll find him with his wife Tessa, their kids Margot & Hugo, and their English Lab Ginger!
The future is bright, and Chris is leading the way for Eberle.🍇
