About Us

la perdignus (la per’dig.nus) adj.
1. latin for very worthy

Not all wine labels are planned at sunset while on an idyllic walk through flourishing grapevines. Oh no. Especially not this one. This one came to fruition while surrounded by a great group of friends and copious amounts of alcohol. Founders Nick and Shayna poured blood, sweat, and quite a few drinks into the passion project now known as La Perdignus.

ARE YOU WORTHY?

Fundamental to our business, and to our core beliefs, is worthiness. Worthy of a damn good time. Worthy of happy moments shared with friends and family. Worthy of that glass of wine at the end of a long day (or even the start). We don’t define worthy, you do.

Templeton Wine Tasting

From Vineyard to Wine Glass (And Mason Jar)

Whatever the glass, the time of day, or the occasion, our wines are worthy of it all. Sourced from local vineyards along the Central Coast, we produce small batches of distinctive reds and whites. Wines you can drink at any time, with anyone, with anything. A wine for all occasions, for everyone.

Wines we believe in.
