The Story
The Paradise Springs story started 10 years ago in Clifton, Virginia where Founder and CEO Kirk Wiles founded the east coast winery bearing the same name. After Paradise Springs Virginia's 2013 harvest, they started exploring how the winery could continue its unexpected quick growth in the wine world. Having grown from 1,300 cases to over 12,000 cases a year in 2013, the demand for Paradise Springs wine was outpacing the quality fruit available in Virginia. During a trip to California in February of 2014, Kirk found himself in Santa Barbara wine country exploring the region with a few lifelong friends. While falling in love with the Pinot Noirs of the region, it was on this trip the answer came to him. Paradise Springs was to start a second winery on the west coast. Paradise Springs Santa Barbara officially opened in December 2017. Now Paradise Springs is the first bi-coastal winery brand in the United States, standing for the highest quality of wine while achieving varietal correctness in a region.
