K Estate Wines Proprietor Tasting

At Historic Carmody McKnight Estate Tasting Room

Reserve your customized tasting with K Estate Wines proprietor Kathleen Conway, the originating women winemaker and food culturalist of Paso Robles. Kathleen grew up with the land since the age of three, and in her early twenties she was in the avant-garde in planting the noble, natural grape vine, nurturing a vineyard, and among the first to establish the Westside Wine Paso Robles wine phenomenon.

Kathleen is the first woman trailblazer launching the food and wine culture of Paso Robles, especially introducing Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil to the Central Coast!  She was there, fully enthusiastic, planting the first orchard.  Kathleen has also turned balsamic vinegars into a delightful art form. She helped launch the management of esteemed Carmody McKnight vineyard and winery 35 years ago.
