“Fantastic visit. Great wines, beautiful setting, and super friendly, knowledgeable staff (thanks Jennifer!). Will definitely make a second visit here, especially for the Pinot Noir, which was perfectly balanced and had all the right nuances.“

“Great spot if you like reds!

A very cozy, indoor and outdoor seating!

“My favorite winery, the wines (dry farmed,), amazing and perfect for my palate! The Bistro food is outstanding and the service warm, friendly and attentive ~ My go to to bring my friends and family when the come for a visit here in my area. Also… spectacular views!🍷🤗“

“Sitting quietly on a cliff in Cayucos, gazing out over the vast Pacific Ocean, I sip a magnificent 2022 CLESI Sagrantino. Reflecting on the world, its rhythms, and entanglements—much of which remains enigmatically complex. Yet one thing is clear: Chris Ferrara is the finest winemaker, for he is, above all, a farmer. As the Italians say, “Chi semina raccoglie"—those who sow, reap.“

“Frank: Just opened 2018. Cork was questionable. I couldn’t believe how smooth with cherry notes. Loved it!!! Susie and I miss you Frank and Bob. We hope to be there at Thanksgiving. Miss coming over for the weekend, but too far from Idaho! Keep up the great wines!“

“I used to own a winery, and I do not remember the last wine club I joined. But I had to join this one. Every wine is absolutely delicious. Vic and his wife are amazing hosts. The setting is absolutely gorgeous, and Stella the dog is a fabulous ambassador. I am typically a white wine drinker during the summer, but the Zinfandel and the Malbec are perfect red summer sippers. Can't wait for the release of the reserves! Cannot recommend this winery enough.“

“Went to Rotta on a Sunday afternoon on a whim. The young lady who helped us was a wealth of information. The wines were fantastic and the view was spectacular. What a great day“

“Awesome product, friendly folks and a comfy tasting room. Highly recommended“

“It’s a great place. Great people. Great wine. Good times. Though the guy who runs the wine club needs to work on his people skills“

“We had a delicious tasting of Zinfandel & Cab’s. Sat outside under the covered patio overlooking the vineyards. What a pleasant afternoon … meeting new friends … all sharing the love of rich red wines. We were even treated with a beautiful Zinfandel Port. Easy access from Hwy 46. Look for the large white chair!!“

“We had a fabulous time last Saturday at the Pizza and Wine Pairing event. The food, the wine and the atmosphere was perfect. Annie and the Venteux staff did such an amazing job coordinating and arranging this event! We love all of the Venteux Vineyards events and the wonderful people that make it happen. Thank you Venteux Vineyards.“

“Had the absolute best wine tasting experience at Turley vinyards with Michele Gargani! His expert knowledge spans from the vine to the bottle! An overall spectacular experience! As long time Turley members, We always request Michele for our tasting! Cant wait for our next Visit! Thank you Michele!!???“

“Loved the tour and tasting experience here. Lisa was a great hostess and the wines were fantastic. The views alone were worth the visit, and gotta love all the animals on property; dogs, chickens, sheep, a llama. A picnic with a bottle of wine definitely made AmByth a top visit.“

“Best Pinot noir in town! Came here with my dad because we were looking for single varietal wines after being disappointed with blends at other wineries. We were not disappointed! We did their tasting, they also have great Dutch cheese, crackers, and salami for sale, chatted with the owners, and left with a bottle of their white Pinot noir, and their Pinot noir reserve. Modest interior, nothing flashy or fancy but an enjoyable time and definitely worth the visit!“

“We just attended a few private events leading up to our daughters wedding. This place is amazing. The owners were on site and staff was so kind. We look forward to coming back.“

“great vineyard wonderful wine“

“We have been getting wine from Mike for about 5 years now. Since we live close by, we have had ample opportunity to sample many of the highly regarded wines from the El Pomar and Adelaida areas. Without hesitation, I can say that I think Hidden Oak is consistently the very best Bordeaux style wine you can get.“
