Warwick and Lythgoe, two friends friends from Liverpool, England, had dreamed of forcing a viticulture for years before discovering Robles as they were running the Pacific Coast highway between auditions for “American Idol”. They soon fell in love with the area, which is halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and known for its vineyards and olives. Also one and a half miles from Paso Robles Municipal Airport.

They bought the property for $ 5.2 million in 2005, then invested more than $ 12 million to oust the original home and build two three -bedrooms Tuskan with 3,700 square meters.

In addition, they added a test room, kitchens, a pool, a pool house and replaced the vineyard, along with the construction of wine objects from scratch. Currently there is a 94 -acre vineyard that produces 12 species. There are an additional 34 hectares of a vineyard, currently unused, which can be replaced or used to build a boutique hotel, undergoing circuit plans and permits.

And then there is a picture. The vineyard is also a popular destination for weddings, concerts and other events up to 200 guests. In addition, there is a two -bedroom wine cottage that is 1,040 square meters and is currently a popular AirbnB destination.

Manufacturers are selling because it’s time to slow down and spend time with family.

“Villa San Juliette has been an extraordinary chapter for us, a place of beauty and creativity. But at this stage of our lives, the family has become our priority, “Warwick told Gimme Shelter.” With our increasing division between Los Angeles and London, frequent travel practices in robles make it difficult to conclude. Time for another family to create their own memories here. “

The auction organized by Randy Haddaway, founder and CEO of elite auctions-includes inventory of bottles and wine vineyards currently estimated at $ 1.2 million.

“Walking through the vineyards in the village of San Juliette, with those startling images that lie in front of you, is a world away from Husle of the. We had so much wonderful time there, sharing laughter and a glass of our summer with friends. It is a place where you can let go and reconnect. These are the memories that we will feed the most, and hopefully the other owner will create their own moments as special, ”Warwick said.
