“Bon Niche Cellars is seriously one of the best kept secrets of Paso Robles. I visit and taste every time Im in the area. Melani is the owner and winemaker. In addition to being a great winemaker, she is also a Navy veteran and is part of the Pleasant Valley Wine Trail, a great collection of boutique hand-crafted wineries in the San Miguel area of Paso.
A really cool thing about her winery and her wines is that her vineyard is SIP Certified, which means shes organic and doesn't use any chemicals in growing her grapes or producing her wines. She has quite the minagerie of barnyard assistants to help keep the vineyard well manicured, including goats, sheep, donkies and Kune Kune pigs. You can spend an afternoon there enjoying the scenery, the animals and some great wines.
Because she’s only open for tastings a few times a year, scheduling an appointment is highly encouraged. Bonus - Bon Niche is dog friendly!“
“Excellent wine! Loved them all! 🍷“
“Angela, the owner was/is awesome. Her daughter, the manager, super lovely. The wine… superb. Maybe the best we’ve had all weekend. You can actually taste the flavors suggested in the wine notes. The strawberry. The watermelon. All of them. A “should” visit when coming to Paso.“
“Always fun, always great wine and great food and great staff.“

“Absolutely phenomenal. Travelling from Canada and at first glance, the building is placed in the darkest corner but so incredibly worth it. Best food I’ve ever had.“

“Went for lunch on a weekday. Good food, good service. But there was music playing, too loud in my opinion. Not 'background music' at at that volume level. And it was obviously a free streaming service because about every 3 minutes, you heard a minute of commercials. Then, half the time a song would be interrupted in the middle of the song with either a commercial, or...another song. About 15 minutes in, we heard the same song that was playing when we walked it. Weird and annoying.“
“🙂Knowledgeable friendly staff“
“This winery provided a 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon for our local nonprofit event and it was absolutely delicious. We appreciate the subtle flavors and generosity!“

“Some of the best Chilaquiles I have ever eaten!!! The service is excellent. We will be back.“
“There's something about visiting Alta Colina that feels less like a tasting and more like coming home. From the moment you arrive, Bob, Maggie, Melissa (and Jesse!) make you feel like part of the family. It's not just friendly service; it's genuine care and attention that turns every visit into something fun!
The wines are thoughtfully made; fresh, expressive, and clearly crafted with intention rather than ego. Bob and Maggie embody that same philosophy: humble, kind, and effortlessly welcoming in a way that's increasingly rare.
And Melissa? She elevates the entire experience. Attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious...she just gets it.
If you're looking for a place that pairs excellent wine with warmth and authenticity, this is it. We love you guys!“

“My husband and I went to dinner last night for the first time in a long time and let me say the food and drinks here were wonderful and from the moment we walked up the host out front I believe she said her name was Cali was SO sweet and welcoming! We will definitely be going back thank you to everyone who helped us :)“
“Bryan provided a fantastic tour of the vineyard on a jeep! He added so much historical flavor about the vineyard and the Paso Robles region, with 7 generations of Steinbecks involved in grape growing! And we really enjoyed the wines - particularly the Zinfandel!
Allow time to enjoy this truly unique experience!“

“Food was fantastic!! By far best Mediterranean in North County. I orders the tri tip sandwhich which was 10/10 with great mix of flavor and spices. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food took a little long to come out, but it felt very freshly made and well worth the wait. Will be back again to try other dishes on the menu!“

“We enjoyed the “NEW and improved” Pour House this afternoon! 🥰music, beverage selection and thoughtful stage and dance floor layout…..but the hydraulic, sleek new, unstable, teetering bar stools with equally precarious tables covered with stretchy fabric were an annoyance from the start.
One of us is unsighted and we seek out establishments that are SAFE for him due to the ever-looming fall risks.
We opted for the wicker bar chairs which snagged my clothing…….
We have patronized the POUR HOUSE from its start when it was in the Firestone Walker “hood”.
Please consider safety first, as we are musicians that have performed on the many incarnations of the PH stage, we hope the PH continues to be a comfortable (safe) place for all who seek a pour!!!“
“One of the best vineyard tour experiences we have ever had. I highly recommend the UTV tour, tasting, and lunch. We had a fantastic time being driven around the vineyard, hearing about the history, and tasting some absolutely lovely wines. Their Mourvedre was our favorite. They do a great job with it and we will be ordering more of it. I lost the name of our guide, but he was fantastic. He does a lot for them as far as experiences go and he was awesome. Bravo!“

“I absolutely adore this coffee shop! Great location, wonderful atmosphere, run by talented people. It is evident that Mackay, one of the owners, paid great attention to detail and design as well. This has become my husband and I’s new coffee place. Five stars all around!“

“We're not locals, but we stopped in at poke places like we usually do when we travel. Everything was fresh and delicious. And all the toppings and protein powders were great too. Delicious fresh food, friendly staff, fast service. Small bowl 12.99; medium bowl 15.99; large bowl 18.99. I recommend 👍😋“
“If you're a wine enthusiast looking for something truly special, Diablo Paso is a must-try. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! Be sure to ask for Deb when you visit the tasting room. She’s incredibly friendly and can provide expert guidance on the wine selection.“

Grapes are grown with dry cultivation no chemicals and minimal Sulphur content. Jordan our host was excellent in terms of service and knowledge. Highly recommend the place“
“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!“
“It’s one of the best wine bars in San Luis Obispo county offering a wide array of domestic and international wines by the bottle or by the glass. I find the prices to be competitive and the bartenders very knowledgeable with their craft. I highly recommend this lace to anyone who wants to sample local Paso Robles and international wines. Don’t take my word for it, come and visit soon.“

“Best kitchen sink with white sauce and their salad bar is super! The young lady behind the counter helped carry my order to my car (I am very grateful since I was feeling poorly). Such great service!!!“
“The highlight of our wine tasting in Paso Robles.
An absolute find to experience such quality wines and be guided by the winemaker himself, Denis Degher - who delighted us with his stories about vintages and also his esteemed career in the music industry.
If you want to break away from the big, flashy cellar doors and experience grass roots and quality wines - this is it!“
“Just had an amazing experience at Eberle. Kirk, our tasting guide, possessed a wealth of knowledge about the vineyard and its history. He could not have been more entertaining, informative, and just generous with his time and tasting! Thoroughly enjoyed all the wines- all the reds have elegance and depth- but are less in your face than some California reds,but so smooth, lovely and enjoyable. We will be back!! In the day and age when everywhere is reservations only and super pricey, Eberle is a breath of fresh air- with years of quality to back up their stellar reputation.“
“I definitely recommend Vina Robles as a stop for any trip in Paso Robles. We came during the holiday weekend after Christmas with our two dogs. The staff was kind, our wine specialist was very knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere is lovely with small chill livingroom like spots. There was a DJ when we came, doing an excellent job of weaving together requests that added to the experience. We had a wonderful time!“
“My spouse and I visited Calcareous in mid-March for a Cabernet tasting that was out of this world. We tasted a variety of wines from different vintages that were all outstanding. Each was beautifully made and are a great value for their price point. Our host, Nate, explained the wine characteristics, production details, and winery history. He expertly answered endless questions about the local wine community and other wine trivia. The whole experience was just great.“
