“Fun family owned winery. Great wine, great people and good location. They do a buttery Chardonnay, a killer petite sirah (inky) and a unique varietal called Teroldego. Buy it if you can get it. The do fun events and Friday Sunset in the Vineyards during the summer with music and food trucks“

“I’m a little late to post.We were there May 2nd but we had the most amazing time, especially With our server, Olivia, she is Fantastic!! She definitely made us feel at home and comfortable and excited about her job and the history of what this place is and has become. Not going to say where we were before, but it wasn’t the same experience. Can’t wait to go back, but I do want to recognize Olivia as just being super Amazing!!! You can tell she loves her job and loves the people/owners. Thank you Olivia.🩷“

“Lovely place to visit if you are in the area.
They have very nice ambience with outdoor sitting on deck, surrounded by flowers. The staff is very curtious and helpful.
We went for wine tasting combined with lunch and picked the place due to multiple food options and it did not disappoint.
Wine flight had great selection from Paso robles area wines and the panini and flatbread were just a perfect pair.“

“If you’re deciding between wine tasting in Paso Robles or Edna Valley, make sure Biddle Ranch in Edna is on your list. The atmosphere is beautiful, the wine is outstanding, and the overall experience feels relaxed, authentic, and unpretentious.

We visited with a group of 11, and Paige did an incredible job taking care of us. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made each tasting engaging by sharing interesting background and tasting notes for every wine. Her attentiveness and professionalism helped make the experience memorable for everyone in our group.

A huge thank you to Paige and the Biddle Ranch team. We had an amazing time and will absolutely be back!“

“Marvelous stop for wine tasting! Dunites Wine Tasting room has a lovely vibe, knowledgeable and friendly staff and a quirky cool story behind it all. We came the week after Chritmas with our two small dogs and it worked great to be on the patio for wine tasting. The wines we tasted were excellent. I recommend checking out this place if you're in the area.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Such a fabulous little nook on the top of the hill in San Luis Obispo.
Great selection of different wines and a couple blends. Owner and his daughter are extremely knowledgeable and a fabulous conversation to be had.
I have been here three or four times now and learned something new every time.
Small venue but a wonderful outdoor patio area if you have small children or want to just enjoy quiet with a view of vineyards“

“Kayden was a terrific host. She was warm and kind and filled with info. The setting was gorgeous and with all the lavender, we felt we were in Provence! It was on the expensive side, but we have no regrets. The charcuterie came in a plastic container but it was absolutely delicious and was more than it first appeared. Thank you Tolosa and Kayden❤️❤️“
