Pulling into Roblar Winery always feels a little like exhaling. The wide-open landscape, vines stretching in every direction, and lavender buzzing with bees remind you why we choose to call the Valley home. There’s a sense of ease here, a rhythm that matches the pace of country life, where the only things in a hurry are the butterflies weaving through the late-season blooms. It’s a place where you can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the land—and with each other.
“At Roblar, we seek to create a supportive and sustainable ecosystem—that includes the grapes and crops that we grow, the wine in your glass, and the food on your plate. But just as important, it’s about the people,” shares Creative Director Max Gleason. That philosophy is evident everywhere: in the careful cultivation of the vineyards, the thoughtful rotation of seasonal crops, the creativity in the kitchen, and the warm welcome extended to every guest. For locals, Roblar has become a place where community and craft intersect seamlessly.
Central to the Roblar experience is the Farm-to-Fork + Vine-to-Glass philosophy. Nearly everything on your plate is sourced directly from the estate—from fresh fall vegetables to fragrant herbs, colorful flowers, and even the wine itself. For what can’t be grown on-site, Roblar works with local farmers, ranchers, and artisans, ensuring that every ingredient is seasonal, fresh, and reflective of the Valley’s bounty. The result is a menu where each dish and wine pairing feels not only deliberate but deeply connected to the land it comes from.
For October, the fall harvest is on full display. Roasted squash, heirloom tomatoes, and persimmons highlight dishes like the House Chorizo Hash, topped with avocado crema and corn pico, bringing warmth and richness to the morning table. The Hanger Steak Tacos—served with blue corn tortillas, garden pico, queso fresco, and avocado salsa—showcase both the depth of flavor and the thoughtful balance of textures that Roblar is known for. Seasonal wine pairings, from a crisp vinador white to a bright rosé or a rich syrah, elevate each bite while reflecting the unique character of the estate’s vineyards.
The Farm Stand just outside the tasting room is a hub for residents and visitors alike. October offerings include pumpkins, late-season squash, persimmons, freshly harvested greens, and colorful blooms that bring the property’s harvest home. For locals, it’s more than a stand—it’s a connection point, a place to gather inspiration for fall meals, and a reminder of the Valley’s seasonal rhythms.
Dining at Roblar isn’t just about food and wine—it’s about savoring moments. Whether lingering over a long lunch with friends, enjoying a quiet afternoon fireside with a glass of syrah, or picking up seasonal produce to take home, the winery encourages visitors to slow down and notice the small, beautiful details: the warmth of the sun across the vines, the scent of lavender in the breeze, or the crisp snap of a freshly harvested vegetable.
Roblar Winery embodies the Valley’s ethos: a deep respect for the land, an embrace of community, and a dedication to flavor. Here, the seasons dictate the menu, the vineyards guide the wines, and the people ensure that every visit feels personal. Whether you’re a longtime resident or returning for the first time in fall, Roblar welcomes you with open arms—and a glass waiting to be filled. It’s a place where flavors linger, memories are made, and the simple, sweet things of life are celebrated fully.
