How I Discovered Graveyard Vineyards
I found Graveyard Vineyards quite by accident. I was attending a memorial service for a family friend at Pleasant Valley Cemetery in San Miguel and we saw this sign as we walked from where we were parked along the road to this small cemetery. I had heard of neither the cemetery or the Graveyard Vineyards until that day, even though I had lived in the Paso Robles area for 23 years.

At the sign is a long road to the top of a hill where you find the actual tasting room. The entrance is to the right where you can't see it in the photo below.

Photos of the Vineyards, Tasting Room, and Pond
Graveyard Vineyards got its name from its proximity to the tiny Pleasant Valley Cemetery where many of the city's pioneer families are buried. This photo shows one way the tasting room plays on its name. The wine barrel is near the entrance.

As you exit the tasting room there is a patio where you can picnic or drink your wine, as long is no special event is scheduled for that area. The day I was there they were preparing for a wedding. The patio looks out at the pond and the vineyards.

This is a partial view of the pond, which appears like a small lake.
