Proudly sourced from some of the top wine-growing regions in California, we craft bold, expressive wines with passion and care from grape to glass. With each sip our mission is to empower and inspire women, honoring the iconic artwork that graces our label.

Cycles Gladiator was founded in 2005 with the mission to create high quality, great tasting wines that are accessible to everyone.

Inspired by the women’s suffrage movement, we drew our name from the 19th century French bicycle manufacturer, the Gladiator Company, and honor their iconic art on our wine label. The red-haired maiden soaring through the sky on her bicycle symbolized the new liberation of women from their homes after centuries of repression. Bicycles, as Susan B. Anthony praised, literally emancipated women from domesticity, allowing them to travel outside their households to work and vote. 

Over a century later, this powerful artwork still resonates with wine lovers across the country. Adam LaZarre, acclaimed and multiple award-winning winemaker, is at the helm, and has been since our beginning. Having lived in Paso Robles for more than twenty years, Adam is extraordinarily connected to his community and the winegrowers in the area. Cycles Gladiator wines continue to benefit from these longstanding viticultural relationships, providing us with access to standout fruit every year
