DAOU History
Two Brothers, One Dream
Like Ruth herself, Daniel & Georges Daou were driven entrepreneurs. They were born in Lebanon where their father ran a successful furniture company in Beirut. But war forced the family to relocate to France, which is where their passion for incredible wine began. Inseparable as brothers, best friends, and visionaries, they decided to move to California to live their winemaking dream. They purchased the legendary Hoffman Mountain Ranch and created DAOU Mountain, where they expertly craft world-class wines that combine French elegance with a Paso Robles flair.
The Perfect Climate
The elevation of DAOU Mountain provides warm, temperate days and cool nights that guarantee even ripening and vine balance every year. The mountain’s elevation and environment produce a rich, full wine that some say rivals the best of Bordeaux. “We have, arguably, the most perfect climate in the world to ripen Bordeaux varieties and Cabernet Sauvignon.” – Daniel Daou
