Most weekends in wine country blur together by Sunday night. The views, the pours, the charming tasting rooms — they're wonderful, and they start to look alike. Then there are the places that don't blur. The ones that are still vivid two years later.

Ulloa Cellars is one of those places.

Nancy Ulloa is a Latina scientist, winemaker, and self-described "wine witch" who specializes in obscure white wines you won't find anywhere else in Paso Robles: Picpoul Blanc, Vermentino, Sémillon, Grüner Veltliner, Gewurztraminer. Every wine comes with a Spanish affirmation and a crystal pairing — one you get to take home. Named to Wine Enthusiast's 2025 Future 40 Tastemakers list, Nancy brings equal parts passion, science, and spiritual energy to every single tasting. It's part masterclass, part show, and if you're open to it, part something you didn't know you needed.

Here's why we think Ulloa Cellars is one of the most important stops in all of Paso wine country right now.
