Jim & Debi Saunders

Jim and Debi Saunders’ passion for winemaking began in 1992 when they planted their family vineyard, Saunders Vineyard, in Paso Robles. What started as a love for farming and the land has grown into Hearst Ranch Winery, where they continue to share exceptional wines and authentic Central Coast hospitality. Deeply rooted in family, Jim and Debi are proud parents of two sons and grandparents to four grandchildren, and they take joy in creating a legacy that can be enjoyed for generations to come. Jim and Debi love bringing their community together through their wine cruises, which they have hosted for years. They look forward to new adventures, making new friends, and sharing unforgettable experiences with fellow travelers who share their love of wine and discovery.
