From the Palisades to Santa Barbara County
What started as backyard dinners and a love of wine has grown into a family-run winery with roots across California’s Central Coast. Founded by Tim and Judy Perr in 2005, Pali Wine Co. blends tradition, curiosity, and community—from our early days in a Lompoc garage to our estate vineyard, natural wine project, and coastal tasting rooms. Today, Pali is guided by two generations of the Perr family, our longtime winemaker Aaron Walker, and a commitment to wines that reflect people, place, and purpose.
Pali Wine Co.
Pali Wine Co. is our flagship label, focused on small-lot wines that reflect the character of California’s Central Coast. In 2012, we planted Pali Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills—originally with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, now also home to Gamay, Syrah, Chenin Blanc, and Dornfelder.From sourcing to cellar, our wines are shaped by place, guided by sustainability, and grounded in long-standing grower relationships.
Neighborhood Winery
Neighborhood is the sketchbook for Pali—a space to experiment, push boundaries, and explore new ideas. Led by Nick and Carmen Perr, this label is rooted in natural winemaking and shaped by the energy of Los Angeles. Every bottle is wild-fermented, unfined, unfiltered, and made with minimal sulfur.
From Grape to Glass
Our wine-making process
Vineyard
Every Pali and Neighborhood wine is made from sustainably, organically, or biodynamically grown grapes, farmed to the highest standards to produce exceptional, expressive wines.
Harvest
Choosing the perfect balance of ripeness and acidity is key to a great vintage. Every grape, region, and vineyard is different, so we rely on intuition and experience to time the harvest.
Sorting
To ensure only the best grapes make it into our wines, we hand-sort every bin before fermentation—no leaves, stems, or flawed berries allowed.
Maceration and Fermentation
Our white wines are typically pressed off the skins right away, while reds stay in contact to extract color as fermentation begins—when natural sugars turn into alcohol.
Aging Process
Barrel aging is the process of maturing wine in wooden barrels—often oak—to enhance flavor, texture, and complexity as the wine interacts with the wood and slowly incorporates oxygen over time.
Bottling
After aging, our wines are bottled under Pali Wine Co., Tower 15, or Neighborhood Winery. Some are ready to release immediately; others need more time in bottle.
