Nunes Wine Company opens Portuguese-inspired tasting room in Pismo Beach

Nunes Wine Company has opened a tasting room in downtown Pismo Beach. The pours are Old World in style and rare for the region: blends and small-lot releases handcrafted from Portuguese and Bordeaux varietals grown across San Luis Obispo County, from Paso Robles hillsides to vineyards near the coast. The wines are made by Mike Sinor, a Central Coast winemaker with 30 years of experience. The tasting room’s facade is finished in blue-and-white Portuguese azulejo tiles, a nod to founder Devin Nunes’ family heritage. Tastings are by reservation, and private and group bookings are available, along with a membership club for repeat visitors.
