About Chloé Asseo-Fabre:
Wine has always been part of Chloe’s life. Like her father loves to say, “Chloe was born in the barrels”. Rest assured this is just an expression, however, it perfectly summarizes her upbringing. Originally from France, the Asseo family owned multiple properties in Bordeaux. After making wine for 17 years in Bordeaux, Stephan got tired of the French regulations and decided to start a new adventure in the New World where he would gain more freedom with viticulture and vinification. In 1998, Stephan, Beatrice and their three children moved to Paso Robles and started L’Aventure Winery.
In 2014, Chloe officially joined the family business as the sales and marketing manager for L’Aventure. As she has taken on more responsibilities from her parents, her role has evolved into General Manager, and she now oversees the operation of the winery. Wanting to understand all aspects of the family business, she has worked harvest at the winery and is involved in the vinification process by being part of the blending decision with her father. Her focus on quality continues as we evolve with innovative ideas while still respecting our roots.
