Join us for an evening with Andy Neja of Cairjn Wines
ESB Welcomes winemaker Andy Neja of Cairjn Wines for our final Winemaker Event of the year!
Cairjn, pronounced like “karn”, is derived from the word, “cairn” which means “a heap of stones piled up as a memorial or as a landmark.” The founder, Andy Neja, chose this name as a tribute to his family’s farming legacy and as a nod to the limestone-rich terrain of West Paso, where their vineyards are located.
Cairjn is one of the newest wineries in Paso Robles, and Andy’s new tasting room, conveniently located just off Highway 46E, opened its doors in August 2023. Andy is no newcomer to winemaking, having been a key figure at Caliza since 2015. Now launching his own brand, Cairjn Wine Cellars, he brings years of experience and expertise to his latest venture. Now producing 850 cases annually, Andy’s portfolio of wines reflects their commitment to quality and sustainability.
ESB is happy to debut Cairjn with you for a special evening of delicious chef crafted appetizers and Cairjn wines! Meet Andy, taste his fabulous wines and learn about his journey into winemaking. Come for the wine, stay for the winemaker, leave with a bottle, two, or a case!

After volunteering a few days a week for eight months at Caliza Winery in Paso Robles, the Andy Neja and his wife decided to move to the area to work with Carl at Caliza full-time. During that time Andy’s passion for wine and viticulture has not abated. The natural next step was taken in 2020 (8 harvests later) with the launching of his own project, Cairjn Wine Cellars.
