J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines

I recently visited J. Lohr Winery and had an incredible experience. The setting was beautiful, the atmosphere warm and welcoming, and the dog-friendly policy was a great bonus.

What truly made our visit stand out was our server, Geraldine. She was bubbly, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely cared for. As the General Manager of Il Fornaio Italian Restaurant, I immediately felt a connection—we clearly share the same core values: a passion for great wine, authentic hospitality, making guests feel like family, and elevating the food and beverage experience through education and heart.

I’ve been a longtime fan of J. Lohr, and visiting the winery only deepened my appreciation—especially since I already had a J. Lohr wine dinner planned at Il Fornaio this July. Geraldine even mentioned she might attend, which made the visit even more special.

I truly hope this marks the beginning of a great partnership between J. Lohr and Il Fornaio—rooted in shared values, and continued through great food, wine, and hospitality.

Grazie Mille!

We scheduled a tasting and charcuterie during our trip to the area. We were pleasantly surprised at the tasting room staff (Dave) and the quality of the wines we tasted. What we expected to be an 1 hour stop turned into a 3 hour experience! We also walked out as new wine club members. What a wonderful afternoon! Thank you

Geraldine was a fabulous host and made us feel at home. Great wines, cozy and inviting atmosphere. 100% why we are club members.

As always a perfect experience! Great wine fabulous staff and beautiful day in Paseo

Very nice place to go for wine tasting

J.Lohr, great wines and super great service

My wife and I decided to take a road trip from Redding CA to Paso Roblas. Part just to get away, part to visit the J. Lohr Vineyard and tasting room.
J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cab is my wife’s go to wine. I like a good wine, but tend more towards beer (Sierra Nevada Pale Ale!).
We reserved for the last tasting of the day (3:00 PM) and arrived a few minutes early to see all the beautiful vines. It was January so they were all dormant - but it was still a dramatic sight.
Nothing could prepare us for the actual wine tasting though.
We went into the large tasting room and were warmly greeted. It was off season so there was just one other couple.
We were given instructions on the different pairings (~6 wines per) and handed a scoring/note sheet. Our host went off to get our Wine Educator.
Geraldine Horner-Holstein came to our table with a huge smile, a burst of energy and a great British accent (she grew up in the Midlands).
Geraldine went through each wine we would be tasting and recommended my wife go with the tasting that was all reds (her favorite) and me a tasting that had a mix of reds, a rose and some white wines.
She went into fascinating detail as we tasted the many different wines. Were the grapes were grow, characteristics of the grape itself, how they were fermented and aged.
Wow, I learned a ton of information on wine and wine making.
Even more fun, Geraldine has that classic British humor so she we as entertaining as she was teaching.
Each wine was an incredible experience when you can compare two, get information about the wine/process and have a very knowledgeable person help you see/feel/taste the differences!

It was one of the best wine tasting experiences we have ever done.

I can’t recommend it enough - it is well worth the time and money!!!

Ask for Geraldine if you can, but I the other two Wine Educators were also extremely friendly and knowledgeable!

Great staffing to accommodate for first-time and experienced wine drinkers.

Nice tasting room with great service.

Our wine tasting experience with Gabriel was fantastic! He was warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and educational. His passion for wine was evident, and his recommendations were perfect. The wines were excellent, and the setting was beautiful. Gabriel made it unforgettable—highly recommend him for any wine enthusiast!

Lovely wines in the Legacy tasting and a great value! Shandon helped us while we celebrated a weekend away. She was so kind and passionate - so glad we came here!

Beautiful setting, knowledgeable staff, thank you!!
