Pax is Pax Mahle's Barlow winery and tasting room — a former lid factory in downtown Sebastopol now fitted with roll-up doors, vinyl on the turntable, and wine on tap. A onetime Dean & DeLuca buyer, Mahle launched Pax in 2000 betting on Syrah's "untapped potential," and became one of California's premier Old World–style Syrah producers.

Tasting Highlights

Syrah & Beyond Flight — seasonal flights of Pax Mahle's foot-trodden, native-yeast cool-climate Syrah, plus Gamay, Chenin Blanc, and Trousseau Gris — also on tap and in growlers.

All the fruit is organically or biodynamically farmed; the wines are foot-crushed, native-yeast fermented, and made without additives. Beyond benchmark Syrah, taste Gamay, Chenin Blanc, Trousseau Gris, and more, with cheese, charcuterie, and conservas. Flights and by-the-glass daily; book the 90-minute cellar tour; live music on Fridays.
