Ancient Peaks Winery is located in the San Luis Obispo County, Paso Robles Wine Region. The historical El Camino Real Old California Grapes were first grown at Santa Margarita Ranch by Franciscan missionaries in 1780.
Amanda Wittstrom Higgins was 2019's Wine Enthusiast's 40 Under 40, and later that year she was voted Wine Person of the Year for her region.

California’s original El Camino Real, the 600-mile “Mission Trail” connecting the state’s 21 missions, ran right through the ranch. In the 1800s, the ranch was a stagecoach stop for Wells Fargo and other stage lines traveling down El Camino Real. Even today, Santa Margarita maintains the ambiance of a classic Wild West outpost.
