18 Best Wineries near Avila Beach

“Fantastic Gem right next to the beautiful Avila Beach“

“Amazing wines and the GM was very nice and knowledgeable with the wines ! Would definitely visit next time I visit this area !“

“Well, we all know I go to a lot of wineries. This is one of my new favorites. It is one of only two champagnes that I’ve ever truly liked enough that I bought an entire case to have shipped home. I also bought two of the desert wines. Honestly, every single one of the Reds I had was smooth and delicious and I wish I had them all in my collection. It’s one that I will have to go back to even if it cost me an entire airline flight just to go here. I want to spend more time at this one. They are all small batches and are not available anywhere else. Worth every penny. It’s on the corner not the one next to. It is just a liquor store that does tastings. I don’t know why Google maps has it that way. This is a true winery tasting room. And on top of that they have a lot of cute gifts. The staff was wonderful. The owner was magnificent. True dedication to the art. Thank you so much for the experience.“

“Just visited Wolff Vineyards yesterday, and I’m still on cloud nine! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was absolutely enchanting, with stunning views of the rolling vineyards. The staff welcomed us with warm smiles and made us feel like we were part of the family. We even took some vineyard tours with Third Wheel Tours. We got to get up close and personal with the scenery, which was the most fun!

But let me tell you about the star of the show—the Petite Sirah! ? It was hands down the best I’ve ever had. I couldn't get enough! The tasting experience was perfect, with just the right balance of knowledge and fun.

If you’re in the San Luis Obispo area, Wolff Vineyards is a must-visit! I’m already planning my next trip back. Cheers to incredible wine and unforgettable memories! ?✨“

“I must say the Customer service is so amazing ?
My second experience here and
It was duplicate to my first.
I absolutely love the white wine
Flight the cozy fire and warm blankets. I have to announce this is my absolute favorite winey to visit when I visit Pismo. Thank you ?“

“Personally I haven't tasted the wines but I was there with my group, the owners who do the tastings themselves are very friendly and enthusiastic, you can feel their passion in their way of explaining things.
Since I didn't drink they offered me a rose lemonade, it's a little extra but for me it makes a difference.
Thank you to them for their kindness and their passion!“

“Loved, loved, loved working with the Filipponi family on our recent SLO CASA Rendezvous at the Ranch 2021 fundraiser. Scott went the extra mile with us and their wines are absolutely superb 🍷❤️“

“Just the best.

They were able to accommodate us without a reservation and even brought over an extra table when the picnic I packed started to spill over.

The staff was spot on with recommendations and a pleasure to talk to. 10/10 will be returning.“

“Had a little vertical tasting of the 2014, 2016 and 2018 Legrein. To tasty and too much fun. Thanks Chris!“

“We've belonged to Kelsey for several years and Love the wine, ciders, staff, peacocks and relaxing with the entire Kelsey experience. Thank you to all!“

“I asked a very prominent Edna Valley grape farmer who the next up-and-coming wine maker in Edna Valley was, and he pointed me to El Lugar and their wine maker Coby Parker-Garcia. I dropped by their tasting room next to Ancient Owl and was absolutely blown away by the quality of their wines - the best tasting I’ve done on the Central Coast perhaps ever. They are very Pinot Noir heavy, which isn’t even one of my favorite varietals, but the artful skill of the winemaker shines through. I didn’t have a single wine I disliked, but their Pinot from Bien Naciedo stood out as an utterly flawless wine. How it doesn’t earn a 98–100 point score from wine critics is beyond me. That said, my personal favorite was their Pinot from Bassi Vineyard near Avila Beach. There was a very interesting cayenne note in there that made the wine really exciting and, lucky for me and my pocketbook, was one of the cheaper wines they sell. I don’t think you can go wrong here. The only error you can make is not coming paying this hidden gem a visit. I see a bright future for Coby and El Lugar.“

“Great little spot! I had a few hours in town to myself, and wanted to do a little wine tasting, and found this place by chance. The woman working this day was super nice and friendly, and the wine was great! Great place to sit outside, read a book and try some wine!“

“I have to admit that I actually didn't try the wines, as I'm not much of a "day drinker", even if it is just a sampling. However, I'm giving a five-star review entirely based on our experience with Mr. Autry.Although we told him from the outset that we just stopped by on a whim as we were in the area and weren't going to do a tasting he was still incredibly welcoming, entertaining and generally great company. His knowledge and experience far exceeds the boundaries of wine making.Although a small winery and very slightly off the beaten path I highly recommend that you stop by for a visit. It will be worth your time.“

“Mike (the winemaker) and his family hosted use for an adventure down the Riesling path and showed us how different it could be from vineyard to vineyard. From slightly sweet, to minerally, to dry. All excellent wines. He through in a German Gruner Veltliner which was excellent. It was paired with some charcuterie and great conversation. If you like the personal experience, this is it.“

“Overall this was a good experience but quite pricey.

The ambience is great out here, surrounded by vineyards with hills in the distance. The planes constantly landing nearby may be interesting or disturbing depending on the person.

Service was great. The wine itself was quite good too. A focus on Pinot and Chardonnay and there’s some good quality here.

The pricing is pretty high, for both the tastings and wine. The charcuterie board is very basic and overpriced. Overall I felt like I could get similar wine elsewhere for cheaper. Since this place is owned by Alpha Omega from Napa I think the pricing is similar to a Napa winery.“

“Excellent experience. Ryan was extremely passionate about his craft and it was demonstrated clearly. Thank you for such a wonderful wine tasting experience. I would recommend it to anyone.“

“Love this winery! Great wine, atmosphere and awesome staff! Make you feel right at home!“

“Knowledge staff who are friendly dog-lovers. Perfect location for rustic wedding or parties!“
