Amazing wine and tasting room. Great wine, TOPGUN memorabilia, and views of the vineyards. A must-see.

We were in Paso Robles a couple of weeks ago. There are so many great wineries there. This was our first visit to Volatus. The gal taking care of us was wonderful! Very friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. The wine is great, especially for the price. I very much appreciated the ambiance and the fact that the owner served in the military and flew jets. The tasting room shares another spot with another tasting room. I haven't written a review in about a years, so that just goes to show you what a neat little spot this place is! I can't wait to go back!

At a recommendation from JLohr, we checked out Volatus this past weekend and were not disappointed. We came as a supportive veteran family, and left as big fans of the wine. We especially loved seeing the CHP patch on the wall. Way to represent!

We had such a fun time here! It's right behind Dark Star Cellars tasting room-recommend you walk right by that and into Volatus! The winemaker was full of stories and had us laughing the whole time. The wine was also delicious! The place has a military theme because the owner and winemakers we're/are also in the military. They do a lot of great stuff for veterans, too. Great place!

With no intentions on stopping for wine tasting when we left on Sunday morning for the Morro Bay Dog Beach, Volatus was our third and final stop of the day. My significant other said, "go check out the airplane stuff inside." I did and was greeted by a tall, dark haired gal, asking if I wanted a tasting. We chatted for a moment and told her I was just checking out the "Top Gun" related aviation pieces that theme the Volatus.Little did I know, 30 minutes later, we walk in and stand at the count, looking over the wine list. The small establishment was mostly full, as it share a venue with Dark Star. Not sure if these folks had walked around the corner or not. About 2 minutes later we were greeted by Hal, asking us what we wanted to do. It was great he told us, "I could stand here all day and drink wine." Gave us a good laugh and he just started pouring wines for us to taste.We were impressed with the tasting and probably had more than we should have. We also started backwards, hitting the reds including the TOPGUN Cuvee (red blend) , The Boys Are Back (100% Syrah) and F-Pole (Cab Franc). Wouldn't be surprised if I missed one or two. We both enjoyed the flavor and quality of the wine. More importantly, we enjoyed sharing stories and a laugh with Hal.He didn't try to "bull" us into becoming wine club members, but after spending nearly an hour talking to him, I was sold on being a Platinum member (that's two shipments a year, 12 bottles each). The wine that sold us, not that Hal's stories weren't enough was the Volatus Grenache. This Grenache Blanc was about 12.9%, soft and fruity and wonderful, especially on a very warm Sunday. The other cool part of the tasting room, were gold/platinum record albums present from the band, Supertramp. I believe Hal said his wife's brother was the drummer, thus this rock & roll mementos.When it comes to small, boutique wineries, I look forward to spending more time in there, tasting wines and purchasing. Nothing wrong with the big guys, but so much more personal attention when it comes to wines. Thanks for a fantastic visit! You will see us again!

Absolutely amazing! The wine was great and the people were amazing. I had a great time having a conversation with the owner and wine maker, Hal. Can't wait to go back!

Very good wine. REALLY good people! I will surely be coming back when I can. Live music, food trucks, a good group, and throwing axes. What more could you ask for???

Am totally hooked on this intimate little tasting room, where we've been enjoying their delicious wines.Staff Gina and Jeff have always been very gracious hosts, with both their knowledge of the incredible wines, and also of the Paso Robles area.Hard to choose just one favorite, but the Cavu (Viognier/Roussanne blend), Rose of Primitivo, Top Gun Cuvee, Tempranillo, Chardonnay, and Syrah were all excellent.Also thanks Gina and Jeff for allowing us to taste some of the most recent medal winning selections. Always such a fun time . . . and we just had to join their wine club. Looking forward to meeting up there again.Their tasting room is located directly behind the Dark Star Cellars tasting room, whose tastings we've also enjoyed.
