Acclaimed Michelin and Forbes Five-Star Dining in the Heart of Central Coast Wine Country

**THIS ROLE REQUIRES RELOCATION TO THE PASO ROBLES, CA AREA!**

The award winning Restaurant at JUSTIN, helmed by Executive Chef Rachel Haggstrom, features a hyper-seasonal dining experience using only the freshest, seasonal ingredients sourced from the property's 26-acre farmstead and local purveyors. Their Michelin Starred and Forbes 5-starred tasting menu is available for dinner 4 nights per week, and promises a deeply hospitality-driven experience that is tailored to ensure each guest leaves feeling full, happy, and cared for. Staunchly committed to sustainability, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin Green Star in 2025, making them the only winery in the nation to have earned both distinctions.

Guests can also enjoy a smaller, farm-to-table inspired menu for lunch and all of their food offerings are geared heavily towards wine pairing. In addition to their esteemed culinary program, JUSTIN’s sprawling Estate features an array of private event spaces, and four bespoke guest rooms that each offer their own breathtaking view of the surrounding vineyards. Seasonal, chef-driven breakfast is included with every stay, rounding out an experience that showcases only the very best of the California Central Coast.

Established in 1981 by founder Justin Baldwin, JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery has become widely renowned for their bold, world-class Bordeaux-style blends, and putting Paso Robles wine country on the map. The region’s distinct microclimate paired with soil rich in fossilized limestone produces bold, flavorful grapes that fully express their varietal and character. Their impressive wine library includes their flagship ISOSCELES Bordeaux blend, America’s #1 luxury Cabernet Sauvignon, small-production Reserve releases, and top-rated blends exclusively available for wine members.
