--------------------------

Kenny Seliger was born and raised in Germany where food was very much a part of his daily life and childhood — he grew up cooking with his Oma and parents daily. He moved to the United States in his early teens and eventually landed in Los Angeles where he went to culinary school in Pasadena. After a few years of cooking in California, Kenny moved to NYC to continue his culinary education and was able to work for some of the best Chef’s in the country. While working for the Thomas Keller Group and The Breslin, Kenny grew as a cook and learned valuable lessons that would impact his career tremendously. Recently Kenny and his wife moved to the central coast and are excited to raise their toddler son and grow their family here. Recently Kenny became the Executive Chef of In Bloom in Paso Robles and is extremely excited to bring his team and food to the booming Paso Robles restaurant scene. 

Born and raised in California, Ron attended culinary school at the Art Institute of Orange County. He then made his way through kitchens helmed by some Orange County’s top chefs, most recently working under Chef Kenny Seliger at critically acclaimed Henry’s Ocean View Dining. With a passion for produce and local products, Ron strives to deliver a sense of place on every plate.

 Grape growing and winemaking started as early as 1797 with the advent of Spanish Missionaries; but wasn’t until the introduction of six established wineries in the 1940s that Paso Robles visibly had a future as a premium California wine region.

 Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the wine region continued to grow, but there was not a single winery producing at a national level until the arrival of Gary Eberle. Eberle established this newly developed wine country as a premium wine region and successfully directed the attention of the wine world, to one of the brightest and most up-and-coming California wine appellations: Paso Robles.

After several successful years at Estrella River, Eberle refocused his attention and desire to produce premium, small production wines. Eberle soon started his own prestigious label which debuted officially with release of Eberle’s

flagship wine, the 1979 Cabernet Sauvignon.

With the establishment of his own label and 38-acre Estate Winery, Eberle continued his vision by co-founding the Paso Robles Appellation in 1983 with Herman Schwartz, Vic Roberts and Tom Meyer. Shortly thereafter, in 1983, Eberle opened doors to his newly built redwood winery, sharing his passion for fine wines and food with everyone near and far.

 Fea­tured in The New York Times as #6 in ​“50 Places to Vis­it in 2020,” Light at Sen­so­rio fea­tures two instal­la­tions by inter­na­tion­al­ly acclaimed artist Bruce Munro. 

Field of Light is a 15-acre walk-through expe­ri­ence, Munro’s largest art­work to date, com­prised of more than 58,800 stemmed spheres lit by fiber optics, gen­tly illu­mi­nat­ing the land­scape in sub­tle blooms of mor­ph­ing col­or that describe the undu­lat­ing land­scape. 

Our lat­est instal­la­tion, Light Tow­ers cel­e­brates Paso Rob­les’ exten­sive wine coun­try envi­rons, fea­tur­ing 69 tow­ers com­posed of more than 17,000 wine bot­tles, illu­mi­nat­ed with glow­ing optic fibers whose col­ors morph to an inspir­ing musi­cal score. 

Pow­ered by solar, these stun­ning exhi­bi­ts cap­ti­vate vis­i­tors, invit­ing them to engage with the land­scape and envi­ron­ment through an ethe­re­al light based and sculp­tur­al expe­ri­ence. 

Smith­son­ian Mag­a­zine has called Munro’s art ​“stun­ning,” while The Guardian noted ​“This is art you feel, rather than art you view.”
