50 Best Wineries in Paso Robles

“Beautiful wine in a rustic welcoming setting. This is a must see💕“

“Just came back from THE amazing experience dining at Justin. We have been a fan of Justin wines for years but didn't have the dining experience until tonight. The creativities, the artistry, the brilliance behind every dish... we were so overwhelmed! The service and staff was amazing. Rest assured that they are not cutting corners in every way in my opinions and give you the best experience you possibly have. Please please dont be less than what you are and that how you maintain if not gain more loyalty to your brand. We walked away with SB reserve, Savant and Justification ♥️♥️♥️.“

“🙂Knowledgeable friendly staff“

“The Rhône LIVES in Tin City!
Always on the lookout for new grape friends & especially in Paso. The Levo folks have been on our radar for over a year & we FINALLY got the chance to do a proper sit-down midweek tasting last week. 100% across the board! Very chill & inviting location, thoroughly cool & approachable staff & EPIC wines! Don’t think I’ve signed up as a wine club member faster than with Levo & left with over a case of their goodies. Oh yeah, concrete “Egg” they use, straight outta the Terra Alta or Lyon!“

“Emercy knocks it out of the park every time! Orion chooses exceptional grapes, and is a master wine magician, and Ben runs a superb tasting room and club. Today I had the opportunity to taste the brand new ‘22s and revisit three favorite ’21’s. It’s always pure joy to see these wines open up after just a year, and now I have the option of pouring one now and saving another for later. 🥰🥰🥰“

“Absolutely wonderful. Jackie, Steve and Anna are just incredible and kind. Wines are stunning and beautiful. Bring your own lunch and enjoy the beautiful outdoor. The family will stop by and meeting them is a treat. Shared favorite restaurants and all about their wine making process. Def must stop here when in Paso! Make it a must stop.“

“Great Tasting experience with Victor pouring great wines! Had read so much about Cairjn- and it didn’t disappoint! Bought the 22 Grenache and Syrah, but the entire flight drank really well. Great neighbors, too, so commit a half day with moving your car!“

“Great tasting and education with Maurey over Labor Day weekend. Had some first time tasters with us and he explained everything to a T. And wines are amazing as well, had only ever been to Napa and these are equivalent or better with different varietals as well. Also, sense of community much higher here than up there.“

“We enjoyed our tasting at Ecluse very much. All the wines we tried were excellent. And the tasting room staff was fun and energetic. We loved the way they looked after us as a team. If our wine glasses were empty, someone always came by with the next pour. It was a pleasure to talk to all of them and just a wonderful experience. They also have a beautiful patio where you enjoy the view and a glass of wine. Ecluse is a hidden gem in Paso Robles and shouldn't be missed.“

“A great winery in a farm style setting! The wines were all very good especially the reds and the farm ambience really nice! The wonderful dogs really added to the ambience, they were great wine ambassadors for the winery lol! The wine tasting included a little charcuterie plate that was a really elegant touch! Beautiful scenery and there are plenty of picnic tables to enjoy the view while sampling great wine. Found this winery while driving around and this made for a real pleasant stop. Owners were very attentive and spent time telling their story about the winery. Well worth a stop while exploring wineries in Paso Robles.“

“Great wine, people & entertainment 😊🍷“

“Excellent tasting visit with a large group of 10. The wines are very well made and aged primarily in neutral oak. Demonstrates a more mature and balanced take on the Paso Robles experience.

Lovely tasting area with knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.“

“What a great stop! Not only was the wine amazing, but the story behind the business was incredible. Lacey ran the wine tasting for myself and the other 3 people in our group. She was engaging, fun, and so knowledgeable!! She also gave us great recommendations for our (first) Paso trip! Made our stop so great!“

“My hubby and I went earlier this year, even though we aren't wine drinkers. I chose Thacher Winery as a stop off for our scenic drive through Paso Robles beautiful wine country because of the vineyard history and the Barn. While there we were given a personal tour by Mrs Thacher even though we weren't there to drink or purchase wine.. The scenic setting of the wine tasting area was stunning, and we ended up tasting one of their wines!! We are now Thacher Wine drinkers!!! We highly recommend stopping by.“

“A highlight of our Anniversary trip. Our server, Melissa’s, friendliness, knowledge of the wines and the history of the winery made for a wonderful tasting experience. The wines were delicious. We will definitely come back. We even got a chance to meet the owner and wine maker who were also friendly and generous to chat with us for a bit, even though it was harvest time.“

“Great tasting experience with Stan. Exotic wines and incredible ports.“

“This place is amazing from the wine to the staff to the views. Such a friendly laid back place. Can't say enough about Croad my favorite winery“

“Everyone at Pius Estates is so helpful and communicate so well, but more importantly, have the best wines in a relaxing environment, and you must order their charcuterie boards. Greg does the best wine tasting ever and don't miss it. You'll be truly delighted. Be happy drink Pius.“

“Sixteen Years of Love & Legacy—A Toast to Us and to Nicora

Celebrating 16 years of Nicora Wines while honoring our own 16-year anniversary made this experience truly unforgettable. It was more than a tasting—it was a tribute to passion, partnership, and the beauty of things that age with grace.

Elissa was phenomenal. Her warmth, insight, and genuine hospitality turned each pour into a story, each moment into a memory. She didn’t just guide us through the wines—she celebrated with us, making our milestone feel seen and cherished.

✨ Standout Sips:

• Denner Vineyard Viognier 2022: A radiant opener—lush, floral, and beautifully balanced. Sunshine in a glass.

•Euphoric 2022: True to its name, this 100% Grenache was a revelation. Silky on the palate, emotionally resonant, and bursting with expressive depth—it delivered joy in every pour. A celebration captured in liquid form.

• GSM Blend 2022: Bold yet nuanced, with layers that linger. A masterclass in blending and depth.
• Slide Hill Vineyard 2022: My first taste—and wow. A vibrant, terroir-driven gem that left a lasting impression.

From the first pour to the final toast, Nicora’s legacy of craftsmanship and heart was on full display. And in the glow of our own 16-year journey, every glass felt like a love letter—to resilience, to connection, and to the joy of shared celebration.

Here’s to Nicora. Here’s to us. And here’s to many more vintages—and years—worth celebrating.“

“My wife and went to Volatus based on reviews and we are adding 5 star. Daniel our wine guide was fantastic. Great knowledge of wines and the Paso Robles area. We went on a Wednesday so we had the tasting room to ourselves. The red wines were full bodied and are drinking very well now, and will age nicely. Daniel explained we are in a slow period ( just a few days) as the wine festival had just passed and we are entering Memorial day weekend. The vibe and energy was excellent. Cheers to the owner and all he does.“

“We loved this place!! Beautiful view and amazing wines. We joined the club and are excited to return. A must while in Paso Robles“

“Our experience was absolutely delightful! The staff was remarkably attentive and genuinely friendly, setting a fantastic tone. We loved the live music and found the beautiful atmosphere incredibly uplifting. The refreshing wine we selected perfectly complemented the whole ambiance. Highly recommend!“

“We had a lovely stay at the Vineyard Farmhouse. It was very comfortable. The setting was very serene and the views of the vineyard and rolling hills were amazing. Our host was easy to reach and answered any questions we had very quickly. We highly recommend doing a wine tasting at the Pelletiere tasting room which is mere steps from the farmhouse. The wines were so wonderful we bought 6 bottles!“

“Am a white wine drinker , but I loved all of the reds ! Am now a wine club member !“

“We had a great time here last weekend and our host, Leslie was amazing and very friendly. We tried both types of tastings and while everything was tasty, our favorites were the bourbon and the barrel aged vodka.

We just enjoyed our bourbon bottle this weekend and look forward to going back to grab a couple more.

Thank you for the fun experience!“

“Awesome place with friendly and knowledgeable staff!“

“We just stopped by Steinbeck on the way to Passo because they open early, and honestly it was the best choice we made.

Mike hosted us very warmly and their wine was beautiful! I loved their blend wine “the crash 19’ and 20’ and we really loved it and bought a bottle to bring home 🫶🏻 we will definitely coming back 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻“

“An umami pairing experience with LXV Wine and Bakersfield’s Noodle Bar. LXV owners and the chef from Noodle Bar matched the wines and meals perfectly👌🏼Pairings with LXV Wine is a must do experience!“

“Way the heck out there, but so worth the trip! The wine is amazing. The pizzas are delicious. The people are awesome. And walk up the hill for some beautiful views. Take wine though. The rose’, the Infinity, Zinfandel, Carmenere’, Vingence, Sangiovese, or any of them. They are that good!“

“What’s not to love about Fratelli Perata? As soon as you drive up, you are transported to Italy, gazing upon miles of rolling hills of vineyards as you get out of your car. Walking in, classic Italian music plays softly as one of the Perata family members greets you. The tasting menu is unique for Paso, focusing mainly on Italian varietals - and what lovely expressions they are. You’ll learn about the Perata family history while sipping on yummy Barbera and Sangiovese. You’ll want (at least) one of every bottle before you leave, guaranteed. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Nice, small, quaint winery. All the wines were great. We especially loved the Zinfandel! There was a problem with our order and they made it right quickly! I suggest if you’re in the area, stop in and enjoy the wine. Buy a bottle, or a case!“

“Our favorite winery and husband/wife owners! We really enjoy our time here and it feels like family!“

“I'm obsessed! The wine, service, and grounds are nothing short of outstanding. Ascunsion Ridge is a small operation run by beautiful, honest people that love what they do. Each wine I sampled was complex and beautifully balanced. Everything was beyond my expectations and I loved my time here so much I couldn't help but sign up for a membership. I can't wait to come back!“

“The service is exceptional along with their wines selection“

“I have to admit that we were disappointed that Bodegas Paso Robles was not in this location anymore. But what a pleasant surprise to find some excellent wines in Cendre. Their GSM is so good we bought a bottle for dinner.“

“The prime winemaker, Bob Caparone, has turned the business over to his son, Mark, but the incredible flavor of the Merlot has not changed. I hope Mark and his wife stay true to the Caparone vision and continue to make incredible wine at affordable prices. Bob, my wife and I salute you!“

“beautiful setting, friendly people and a friendly dog named Bentley“

“Love their Chopping Block, Honey Bunny wines!“

“Wonderful time with my bride wine tasting - all the way from Maine. Nice place to visit and chill out for a couple hours.“

“My favorite winery in Paso Robles. I love almost all of their wines. Dirt Worshipper is one of the best wines coming out of Paso. The view from the tasting room is great, and they waive tastings with the purchase of a single bottle! All around a great winery.“

“Wonderful wine at a reasonable price for non-elites.“

“We had an outstanding tasting experience at Torrin, and Allie was an exemplary host. The personalized tasting menu was a wonderful touch, one we always appreciate when visiting wineries as it's a great indication that customer service is at the forefront of their operation in addition to wine quality. The wines and setting were second to none, and we had the opportunity to try a spectacular library pinot noir from 2015 that is coming home with us. We can't wait to try their Paso estate wines when they're available -- we will definitely be back!“

“This was truly a one-of-a-kind experience at a winery that is at the top of the game. Ryan, our guide and general manager, took us on an ATV tour of the vineyard that was educational and elegant without being pretentious. Tasting the wines amongst the vines it was harvested from was magical, to say nothing of our time in the manzanita grove. Our tour was complete with Sadie the dog tagging along for the ride!

We’ve been wine tasting in Napa and France, and this experience stood out for the warmth, hospitality, and passion evident in every moment — to say nothing of the quality of the wine. Thanks to Kit, Ryan, and the team for an excellent afternoon. I couldn’t recommend this winery enough!“

“Great, great wines. Beautiful location, and the tasting room is elegant and comfortable, although a bit small. The folks serving the wines know the winery and the wines well. The cheese plates looked good, and the winery dogs were very attentive to folks who ordered one :-)“

“My choice for what to recommend for Turtle Rock from Facebook suggestions were things like picnics and ambiance etc. How about the MFing wine? We shipped a ton of wine back from our last trip to Paso and the one we keep going back to over and over is Turtle Rock. Drinking the G2 tonight with a petite filet and it’s just awesome. Comes out of the bottle like ink with leather and earth and like stewed cherry and plum. The more we drink the more we love TR.“

“Excellent wine, knowledgeable and charming staff, beautiful and creative space“

“Katie was awesome. The hostess with the mostess. 🍷 🍺 🥃“

“Great spot! We had an enjoyable tasting of very delicious Pinots, Rieslings and ice wines. Mark was a great host and very knowledgeable and created an awesome experience for our party. I definitely recommend this spot if you are in downtown Paso and enjoy those styles.“

“It's by the unmaned train station. Owner Sam and Takashi are wonderful! The wine tasting is super reaonable and wines beautifully made by Sam! It is just run by one person, but the service and hospitality is top notch! If you are in Paso Robles it is a must to visit. If taking the train at 4 15pm you should go 2 hrs early and enjoy the wines there. Really loved this place. Highly recommended!“

“Beautiful winery ?. The food was Amazing. Our server Kristie was perfect. The Cave tour with Tim was Devine and so worth the time. Tom is a true Historian and knew all the history of this property and all the wines. Amazing experience and would highly recommend it.I almost forgot about all the wines that are the best wines on the Central coastal area !!!! ?“
