Our Story
Achieving dreams, like making wine, requires patience and persistence. This is the story of Creekcut.
For California entrepreneurs Jason and Chris Lamoreaux, a life in wine was a long time coming. With nothing handed to them, they bootstrapped several businesses from the ground up over a period of more than 30 years. And running noisily in the background for most of those years was the dream to start their own artisanal winery.
Circumstances of timing, opportunity and economics made them wonder if it might never happen. That is, until they alighted on a property that begged them to bet big: the future Creekcut estate in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles.
Everything they could have hoped for was present in these 20 acres. This was where they could follow their dream with Rhône-style wines. It was also where they could share their passion for hospitality, helping others create unforgettable moments while falling in love with Paso Robles wines.
Each Creekcut wine today stands as a testament to this journey, and to the terroir that became its destination. Welcome to the world of Creekcut.

Jason & Chris Lamoreaux
Owners
Chris and Jason’s story began in high school, grew through marriage and entrepreneurship, and eventually found its way to Paso Robles. Over three decades, they built people-first businesses focused on connection, culture, and community. Their love for wine was sparked during a trip to Napa in 1995 and deepened through years of vineyard travels around the world. With a shared dream to return to farming—honoring Chris’s multi-generational agricultural roots and Jason’s Bordeaux lineage—they searched for a place to grow something meaningful. They found it in Paso Robles’ Willow Creek District.
On their 30th wedding anniversary, Chris and Jason discovered a hidden gem on Vineyard Drive—twenty acres of calcareous-rich soil, ancient oaks, and a seasonal creek—perfect for their vision of Creekcut Winery.
