Nicora was started with little resources, and has been built from the ground up. It truly began in the cellar, where I learned from mentors who helped me along the way. I worked for the funds to buy grapes and barrels, and spent many hours with purple hands and wet boots. My dream was to hand craft wines that would be both a personal expression and a reflection of the unique vineyards found within Paso Robles and beyond.
“Beautiful wines! Nick (winemaker) led our tasting and he was just as awesome as the wines he makes. We immediately joined and are happy members! If you love Syrah, Nick knocks it out of the park. Most memorable surprise was his Grenache. SO good!! Check out Nicora!”
“Sixteen Years of Love & Legacy—A Toast to Us and to Nicora Celebrating 16 years of Nicora Wines while honoring our own 16-year anniversary made this experience truly unforgettable. It was more than a tasting—it was a tribute to passion, partnership, and the beauty of things that age with grace. Elissa was phenomenal. Her warmth, insight, and genuine hospitality turned each pour into a story, each moment into a memory. She didn’t just guide us through the wines—she celebrated with us, making our milestone feel seen and cherished. ✨ Standout Sips: • Denner Vineyard Viognier 2022: A radiant opener—lush, floral, and beautifully balanced. Sunshine in a glass. •Euphoric 2022: True to its name, this 100% Grenache was a revelation. Silky on the palate, emotionally resonant, and bursting with expressive depth—it delivered joy in every pour. A celebration captured in liquid form. • GSM Blend 2022: Bold yet nuanced, with layers that linger. A masterclass in blending and depth. • Slide Hill Vineyard 2022: My first taste—and wow. A vibrant, terroir-driven gem that left a lasting impression. From the first pour to the final toast, Nicora’s legacy of craftsmanship and heart was on full display. And in the glow of our own 16-year journey, every glass felt like a love letter—to resilience, to connection, and to the joy of shared celebration. Here’s to Nicora. Here’s to us. And here’s to many more vintages—and years—worth celebrating.”
“Nicora is always an absolute delight! I HIGHLY recommend visiting for top tier wines, and excellent service in an incredibly beautiful tasting room.”
“Nicora is a MUST STOP on a trip to Paso Robles! They have a beautiful tasting room and their wine is SO DELICIOUS!!! My husband and I hosted about 20 people in their tasting room recently, and everyone greatly enjoyed the wine and overall experience. Nick & Elissa have something so special in this winery and I highly recommend anyone gives it a try.”
“If you are in the Paso Robles area & love boutique wineries that make wonderful red wines! This is the place to visit. Glen did a wonderful job with our group of 5. So good that 3 of the 5 joined their wine club. You will not be disappointed when you taste their wines! Cheers!”
