RE:FIND Distillery sits on a sprawling property in Paso Robles wine country, sharing space with Villicana Winery at 2725 Adelaida Road. Founded by Monica Villicana, who comes from a winemaking family, the distillery represents her expansion from grapes to grains. The operation launched in 2014 as part of the broader Villicana estate, which has been making wine since 1962. You’ll find both the distillery and winery housed in rustic farm buildings surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards. They produce vodka, gin, and whiskey using traditional copper pot stills alongside their wine production. The dual operation creates an unusual tasting experience where you can sample both wine and spirits in the same visit. Monica’s background in agriculture and fermentation translated naturally to distilling, though she had to learn the art of working with grains rather than grapes. The family approach means you’re likely to meet actual family members during your visit, not just hired staff. The distillery reflects Paso Robles’ growing reputation as more than just wine country, helping establish the region as a craft spirits destination. Production remains small-batch, focusing on quality over quantity in true family operation style.
