History

Broken Earth Winery's story begins at Continental Vineyards, a 2500-acre parcel of land originally named Rancho Tierra Rejada, "Land of worked earth." Visionary Herman Schwartz purchased the property in 1973 and planted 520 acres to grapevines; he embraced sustainable farming techniques as they were first coming on to the scene in the early 1980s and replanted between 1995 and 1998. The ranch was sold to the current owners in 2006, who remain committed to sustaining the environment by implementing technologically advanced farming methods. The vineyard, previously known as "Continental Vineyards" at Rancho Tierra Rejada, was established in 1973 as one of the first large-scale producers in the area. It is currently planted to 712.97 acres of premium wine grapes. Broken Earth Winery produces unique wines that are estate grown, harvested and bottled in Paso Robles.
