Paco Winemaker Dinner

RK Pop Up Winemaker Dinner

Thursday August 20, 2026

Special Guest – Tyler Russell, Owner/Winemaker

Paco is the culmination of two decades of winemaking. Named in honor of Tyler’s heritage, it represents everything he believes about wine: that it should be honest, bold, and deeply personal. Operating from his own facility in Tin City, Tyler sources fruit from vineyards spanning the cool coastal appellations to the limestone-rich soils of Paso Robles.

We are excited to welcome Tyler back to RK as we had a fantastic event with him a few years back when he was the owner of Nelle/Cordant.

Take this opportunity to discover this outstanding, boutique winery from Paso Robles and purchase some to share with friends. 

Created and hosted by John Fanaris, Certified Sommelier & Chef Noelle Fanaris.
