A great stop for wine tasting, enjoying the beauty of nature and also playing a round of disc golf! The Italian white wine varietal (first on the mixed tasting list) was my favorite. Worth a stop and very family friendly. They even have a few disc golf holes near the tasting room to practice putting!

Yes, the wine is tasty, and the scene is marvelous….but for those of us who enjoy Disc Golf, this place is a major gem, and super fun course.

We enjoyed the wine, it was delicious! Sherry took fabulous care of us, indulged us with pertinent history and information without being overwhelming. We could’ve listened to her all day. Of course, we became members and look forward to our return tastings and free shipments.

We had a delightful Sunday afternoon with Madeline (sp?) today! Our experiences at this winery and their sumptuous wines keep us coming back! Six times in 12 months from Bloomington IN. As we left today with smiles on our faces and some wine to enjoy in the future we remarked that it felt like leaving home. Our dog loves it too, was in a great hurry to get there even without tasting the wine. ? Thank you Castoro!

Nice tasting room and winery. The wiling tasting price is reasonable. Worth visiting.

Wine club pick up party with music by Jill Knight was a real treat. The best wine, facilities and wine staff! Thank you

Great discussion through the wine list. Knowledge help through the flight. Beautiful grounds. Wines were medium nothing amazing. Short changed our order purchased 6 but only 5 ended up in our box. Called the winery and apparently there is "no way" to look us up by name, order type, or credit card.Update: emailed manager, was able to get matter cleared up. Editted to 3 stars.

A weird and awkward experience that may or may not have involved retail theft, but leaves an awful taste in your mouth no amount of water or oyster crackers will cover.We went on an off day and was hosted by an older lady at the bar. She regaled us with various stories, some half believable (like a perk of the job including taking 6 or 7 bottles a night to drink, and being a former medical director), some not so much (like being able to smell snakes).At the end, we closed out just to at least cover the tasting fees, and she convinced us to round up to 6 bottles for a 10% discount. She made an overt showing of presenting all the bottles on the counter prior to packing and made sure to fold in the top of the box in on itself. Of course we didn't bother to check or with a receipt and drove home the next day, only then to realize we were missing one of the most expensive bottles.The winery has no way of finding our receipt to refund the missing item, in this modern day I find that hard to believe. So that's it, this review and the loss of a future customer is all that amounts to. We're not going to bother throwing a real Karen fit over a random bottle of Paso wine and would normally give something like this a pass, but that overt showing of the bottles and careful packaging does make one's mind wander. Like is this a habitual tactic of the winery or its sale staff?Either way, maybe you'll find this story an interesting read, and remember to check your box and keep a receipt.

Tony is so sweet and very knowledgeable! Wine is delicious, $20 for a flight is reasonable and all are delicious. Grounds are beautiful and well maintained, relaxing experience. Drank wine while my boyfriend played disc golf for $5 at the on-site course, loaner discs available! Highly recommend.

So glad I took the advice of a friend and made a stop here on our way out of town. Good wines 4 stars. Great service (5 stars)He had one of the best hosts! Shari is amazing! We loved our experience and will be coming back when we can enjoy being outside.
Stopped in on our way back from Paso and this place was the BEST! Wine was delicious and views were beautiful but Kathy truly made our experience. She was so knowledgeable, kind, and joyful. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and are already talking about going back next year!

This is the best winery I have ever experienced! I became a member a few years ago and haven't regretted it for a moment! Their wine is fantastic and every time I go to taste the service is exceptional! Recently I went for a tasting and Tony was our server. He was magnificent! He gave us information I had never heard before about the wines. It was a fabulous experience. Whether we bring friends or come just as a couple Castoro never disappoints! E Porter

Castoro’s Whale Rock Festival is absolutely wonderful. It’s a total blast. Great music, great vibes, and such a beautiful place. Highly recommended.

Beautiful winery with a more casual vibe and lots of greenery by the seating areas. They have literal grapevines you walk through when entering from the parking lot. I don't remember receiving a food menu, and wished that maybe we had signed up for a pairing tasting if there was one. Our host/server gave us a thorough lesson on how to fully taste wine using every part of the tongue and mouth, which was really interesting and fun.

In the afternoon we visited Castoro Winery, they have Dam Fine Wines ... we had 12 tastings! The server's name is Angela and was generous with her pours and sharing wine tips and wine making stories. Loved, loved, loved our experience ❤️❤️❤️
