We did tasting with chocolate. We were served by Paul and met the owner of the winery, Matt. Great experience.

Our 2nd visit here in as many years, and a favorite in Paso! Highly recc’d for Petit Syrah. Paul makes a great host.

We had a great experience here thanks to Tracy, who is extremely friendly and fun -Wines are solid Tannat and their 1105 blend were excellent as was the petite Syrah..nice cozy tasting room.

AWESOME! The wine tasting experience was amazing. Matt and Teresa gave us such a wonderful wine tasting experience. I highly recommend this winery! All the wines we tasted were delicious!

Can't go wrong. Parking is easy, paying is easy, and the design of the tasting room is very minimal. The lego plants have a funny story behind it.

Awesome wine, loved the whole line-up. Considering the wines up here in Paso, these wines were exceptionally well balanced with a lot of expression in each wine. We met the winemaker/owner/founder, Matt, and his wife who both took care of us at the tasting room. Super nice people, down to earth, great wine. Hope to enjoy one of their winemaker dinners, everyone in town raves about their chef. Absolutely check this place out

Literally a mom and pop place, complete w a couple of young boys running around. Chat them up a bit and they'll sneak in some hidden gems to the tasting menu. Some very interesting varietals.
Some of our favorite wines during our Paso visit, deeply educational tasting with MCV, and smartly paired tasting w/local cheeses

I originally visited MCV Wines at their previous location in Morro Bay. It was cute and very small, and I was excited to visit their new tasting room and winemaking facility in the Tin City Annex. Where's the Annex? It's a block or so south of Tin City (just take La Cruz Way south from Marquita St) and a world away from the sometimes hectic and crowded Tin City. And while the location is great, the wines are what will keep bringing me back. Winemaker Matthew Villard has a passion for Petite Sirah, the luscious nearly black grape that's known for its deep tannin and corresponding flavors. With a few special vineyard-designate vintages and their flagship 1105 blend, you'll get a great tour of Petite Sirah and its nuances. At my most recent tasting, I also enjoyed MCV's good single varietal wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Tannat, Grenache, Syrah, and Petit Verdot. They also make lovely port-style Petite Sirah (and named with initial of their two young sons). MCV is a true family run winery, with Matt and Teresa Villard taking care of their customers. They really make you feel welcome to the MCV family. I look forward to going back for another tasting soon!

So I was at the same tasting event (Cava Robles) last night as the other person that did a review. It was definitely an awkward event. Justin seemed like he had too much to drink and kept giving these bizarre explanations of the wine and about the winery. He kept referring the wine as "grocery store wine." I don't know how else to describe it other than bizarre. At $20 a head with a maximum of 60 people, they were making a decent amount of money. To be shorted one of the flights and then given a different wine then what was on the sheet was disappointing to say the least. They also passed out these plastic containers of salami, cheese, and nuts. The salami was clearly not fresh. The pieces looked bluish/grey and tasted really bad. To be fair, I'm not sure if it was MCV or Cava that made those but it was terrible. Overall a subpar experience that will probably keep me from ever going to the winery. I'm sure the winery is very nice, but the representation of the winery last night was really embarrassing.

Our recent tasting with MCV wines was a very large disappointment. It was a group of about 60 people that joined us at Cava Robles resort. We paid $20 a piece for a five flight tasting. The rep from MCV (Justin) showed up about 15 minutes late. The entire experience was very rushed and disorganized. Everyone at our table had the opinion that Justin had probably been drinking. His explanation of the wines was bizarre. Justin then claimed that one of our flights had recently sold out and so we were being served another one. Spoiler alert: it was not good. At all. Then to top everything off, he obviously hadn't shown up with our fifth wine, so he decided to auction it off as a "lottery" item. We all had to choose a number between one and 100 in order to win the bottle. Everyone was completely confused why we weren't getting the fifth tasting. His explanation was far-fetched. It would've been easier if he had just told us the truth or given us an option for a fifth tasting. This is easily our worst experience with any wine tasting in the Paso Robles area. I can't see a scenario where we would ever visit the actual winery, based off of this experience

Originally I had visited MCV Wines when they were in the Morro Bay area. It had been a long time and while visiting Paso Robles and the Tin City Annex area I saw their building and made a plan to stop in.I made a reservation through their website and decided to throw in a cheese pairing to go along with the tasting. Very comfy tasting room and was greeted by our host Jason who was already setup and waiting for our group.The wine lineup was phenomenal and while MCV Wines are known for their darker wines and all it's inky goodness they also had a nice Sauv Blanc and a tasting Granache.The tasting really had a well crafted order, and SUPER enjoyed the wine and cheese pairings. There was a cheese specifically picked to go with the tastes of each wine and having many of these in the past worked well. My favorite pairing of the group was the Midnight Moon paired with MCVs flagship 1105 (Dark Blend). When the wine hit the cheese, POP!, it diffused into some amazing flavors (and texture)! My second was the Mango Stilton with the Sauv Blanc, and while I normally don't drink a lot of white wine, that is a duo that I could plan for in the future.Also had a chance to meet the owner and winemaker Matt. Was nice to chat with him about his wines and always great to meet the people behind the grapes.Overall a really nice experience and would highly recommend this tasting room when visiting Paso Robles or Tin City in the near future (and be sure to try the wine and cheese pairing).
