We visited Shale Oak on Saturday. Their wines were good but the gentleman who took care of us was the worst that we have had in all the years (18) that we have been coming to Paso Robles. He was rude and condescending. He even threw the pamphlet about the wine club on the counter towards us when we asked about the wine club. If we were ever to return there we would walk back out if he was there.

Best tasting experience we had in Paso. Great wines, great ambiance. Very educational tasting. Truly a boutique winery experience.
William Dahl
Very good wine. Small portions on the pours but otherwise very educational and nice atmosphere.

We have a subscription and it comes on-time with lovely seasonal wine picked by the winemaker.

Discovered this wine brand at the 2025 BlendFest event. We went to their stargazing wine tasting event, and it was incredible. Following a three-day storm, clear skies and fresh air returned. The wine-tasting room, a half-mile off Highway 46, is easy to miss; use your GPS to ensure a safe and quick arrival. Parking is ample, with space for about 40 vehicles. This elegant rustic property offers a wonderful ambiance, including a water fountain and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Sampling their wines at BlendFest led me to try their 2015 Reserve Mercurey Cabernet Sauvignon, a library wine that exceeded expectations. The lounge music, cheese board, stars, and new friends complemented each other perfectly. I especially want to thank the vendor for the amazing charcuterie boards at the wine and stargazing event; the meats, cheeses, fruits, and chocolates were a perfect complement to the experience.

The Syrah is amazing!

If it weren’t for the horrible service we received I would give this place 5 stars. We walk in and the whole place REEKED of bleach. We asked to sit outside for our tasting due to the smell and the older man with glasses behind the desk said (jokingly but not in a haha way) “I’m tired so you can sit inside” I persisted that we could not sit inside and so he said fine and we sat outside. Then during the tasting he skipped one of the wines and argued with us saying he didn’t until we asked enough questions and then he goes “oh…you’re right I did.” On top of all of this, the tasting pours were a third of what is normally poured during a wine tasking. Like hardly 2 sips per glass.
I wanted to buy a couple bottles because the wine was so good, but after his service, and his attitude I didn’t want to give them any more of my money!
So disappointing.

As always, Shale Oak is a joy. Love a place that is dog friendly as well as eco-friendly. The wine is outstanding: 100 pt. Syrah!
This is the most beautiful dog-friendly eco-friendly winery in Paso Robles- charming, relaxing, the vibes are authentic and buzzy and the staff are warm and engaging.

I'm not big on wine, however these wines have definitely piqued my interest. Very easy to drink, and I have to praise Steve for his knowledge on the wines, and his hospitality. Cannot recommend stopping by enough.

One of our favorite wineries in Paso! The staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable about the wines and the outdoor area is perfect for lunch. Super dog friendly with some fun treats for yhe pups! The Albariño is one of our favorites from the area - definitely recommend adding as a stop for the day!

This amazing winery is LEED-certified and dog-friendly. Steve is very knowledgeable. I signed up for the wine club immediately. They have live music every Saturday. Such a great experience! Highly recommended.
