Our Story
Los Robles Hills Winery is a labor of love nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains and is part of the Malibu Coast AVA. Our vineyards, named Puerta del Cielo, meaning “Gate of Heaven” pay homage to the Spanish missionaries who traversed the El Camino Real at California’s inception.
The vineyards, comprised of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, enjoy a unique micro-climate, with the cool Malibu ocean breezes kissing the vines at night.
Our hand-crafted artisan wines are a testimony to the Ventura County terroir, so very similar to that of Southern Italy, and bring with them the maturity of venerable California winemaking with the impudence of an upstart wine region.
The Central Coast Wine Competition is the largest wine evaluation event that recognizes wines produced exclusively from vinifera grown on the Central Coast regions of California. This event promotes the excellent quality and diversity of commercial wineries and grape growers while recognizing the fastest growing wine regions in California. Hundreds of California wineries enter each year.
Additonally, The San Francisco International Wine Competition is one of the largest and most influential wine competitions in the world.
