They have very nice ambience with outdoor sitting on deck, surrounded by flowers. The staff is very curtious and helpful.
We went for wine tasting combined with lunch and picked the place due to multiple food options and it did not disappoint.
Wine flight had great selection from Paso robles area wines and the panini and flatbread were just a perfect pair.“

“We came here for a quick tasting and were shocked at how accommodating and pleasant the experience was! Rob and Chuck both stopped by our table a number of times with wines and to answer our questions. We chose to add the charcuterie board to our tasting and it was so delicious. The tasting room is so elegant and beautifully designed, which made for a very fun time. We were fully satisfied and will be back again soon!“

“Marvelous stop for wine tasting! Dunites Wine Tasting room has a lovely vibe, knowledgeable and friendly staff and a quirky cool story behind it all. We came the week after Chritmas with our two small dogs and it worked great to be on the patio for wine tasting. The wines we tasted were excellent. I recommend checking out this place if you're in the area.“

“I’ve been a member here for years, their wines are Great, but there people and customer service are even better! They are my go to place I am shipping wine to friends and relatives around the USA. They also host wonderful pick up parties for new releases as well as other events. The outdoor tasting room is beautiful. They truly are the complete package“

“Such a great place with great wines right in the Arroyo Grande Village. Totally worth going to for an extraordinary flight of wine tasting or a glass of wine from their by-the-glass menu while enjoying the cozy outdoor patio. The tasting manager Denise is super friendly, knowledgeable about the wines and food pairings, and an absolute delight to talk with. Shout out to Joey and Bethany who, like Denise, welcomed us like we were old friends. Warm, hospitable, gracious, friendly staff all around, and the wines are a delight. Kudos to the winemaker who obviously knows how to make terrific wines. Go and bring your friends! Just wonderful.“

“Kate was outstanding.She did an excellent job of introducing us to the 2022/2023 vintage wines offered in our shipment this period. Very personable and knowledgeable. She had very good insight about each wine and made it a fun experience. Thanks Kate. Great employee, she should be recognized! Thanks Talley Vineyards.“

“Excellent experience. Ryan was extremely passionate about his craft and it was demonstrated clearly. Thank you for such a wonderful wine tasting experience. I would recommend it to anyone.“

“I recently ordered a gift basket from Peacock Winery for a friend’s wedding, and I have to say, it was absolutely stunning! The basket was beautifully put together and really captured her style—it was the perfect gift for her big day! Peacock has such a cool “locals only” vibe. It’s one of those hidden gems you’d only find if you take the back roads, and it’s definitely worth the trip. The venue is gorgeous, and their wine is top-notch. The staff was super friendly and really made the whole experience enjoyable. If you’re looking for something special, whether it’s a gift or just a great place to relax with some amazing wine, I can’t recommend Peacock Winery enough. You’ll love it 😍“

“We had a great time here.“

“Knowledge staff who are friendly dog-lovers. Perfect location for rustic wedding or parties!“

“Mike (the winemaker) and his family hosted use for an adventure down the Riesling path and showed us how different it could be from vineyard to vineyard. From slightly sweet, to minerally, to dry. All excellent wines. He through in a German Gruner Veltliner which was excellent. It was paired with some charcuterie and great conversation. If you like the personal experience, this is it.“

“I asked a very prominent Edna Valley grape farmer who the next up-and-coming wine maker in Edna Valley was, and he pointed me to El Lugar and their wine maker Coby Parker-Garcia. I dropped by their tasting room next to Ancient Owl and was absolutely blown away by the quality of their wines - the best tasting I’ve done on the Central Coast perhaps ever. They are very Pinot Noir heavy, which isn’t even one of my favorite varietals, but the artful skill of the winemaker shines through. I didn’t have a single wine I disliked, but their Pinot from Bien Naciedo stood out as an utterly flawless wine. How it doesn’t earn a 98–100 point score from wine critics is beyond me. That said, my personal favorite was their Pinot from Bassi Vineyard near Avila Beach. There was a very interesting cayenne note in there that made the wine really exciting and, lucky for me and my pocketbook, was one of the cheaper wines they sell. I don’t think you can go wrong here. The only error you can make is not coming paying this hidden gem a visit. I see a bright future for Coby and El Lugar.“

“We've belonged to Kelsey for several years and Love the wine, ciders, staff, peacocks and relaxing with the entire Kelsey experience. Thank you to all!“

“Wonderful, warm and very welcoming winery.Susan took good care of our group. With just the right amount of information on the wines we tasted. And some very yummy wines. The outside area is nice and shaded, and you are in amongst the vines. This was a excellent place for our group of 6, and you can bring in food. Plus is it less than 10 minutes from the airport.
Thank you again for a prefect afternoon.“

“We were looking for a casual wine tasting experience and were so happy to find Steve. He poured our tasting himself, taught us a lot about his wine, and had fun conversation. We are not wine connoisseurs but we thought his wines tasted great.“

“Wow Nathan Delaney, you’re a local guide and you post a review like this? Do you even like wine? Malene Wines are delicious and fairly priced for a small production winery. Everything from their white Rolle, to their various Roses, to their Grenache Noir, is delicious. I’m a very happy Wine Club member!“

“First time we've been able to visit Avila Beach and just enjoy a weekend. Saw great reviews about Alapay so went for wine tasting. So glad we did! Awesome wines and friendly service from both Diane and the owner Scott. Did not intend to, but joined their wine club because it was just such a personal, enjoyable visit and we liked everything we tried. Can't wait to come back!“

“Kayden was a terrific host. She was warm and kind and filled with info. The setting was gorgeous and with all the lavender, we felt we were in Provence! It was on the expensive side, but we have no regrets. The charcuterie came in a plastic container but it was absolutely delicious and was more than it first appeared. Thank you Tolosa and Kayden❤️❤️“
