Timbre is a A Central Coast winery dedicated to crafting harmonious, distinctive wines — TIMBRE (pronounced TAM·ber or TIM·ber) is the “color” of music, the quality that gives each voice its unique sound, even when singing the same tune. In the same way, two winemakers can produce entirely different wines from the same vineyard. Rooted in terroir, we create wines that reflect the essence of their origin in both place and time. Through our hands and perspective, we interpret those sites — adding our own signature, our TIMBRE, to every bottle. Live music is an experience the whole family can enjoy!
