MCV Wines was founded in 2011 in Paso Robles, CA, as a small, family-owned winery specializing in Petite Sirah and unique blends—smooth, bold, and elegant. The name MCV comes from the initials of its founder, Matthew C. Villard, who is dedicated to crafting distinctive, high-quality wines.

Matthew Villard, the passionate owner and winemaker, grew up in Visalia, CA, where his love for wine was nurtured at the family dinner table. He studied at UC Davis, gaining hands-on experience in viticulture research and honing his skills through internships at renowned wineries like Quintessa, Justin, Gainey, Chalone, and BV. Since 2016, he has also worked as a consulting winemaker, further refining his craft.

Today, Matt brings his expertise and dedication to MCV, ensuring that every bottle reflects his commitment to exceptional winemaking from vine to glass.
