17 Best Wineries in Templeton

“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.“

“I recently sponsored a rescued horse and her baby at Unbridled Sanctuary in upstate NY. I was given the honor of naming her and I chose Bella Luna. As a fundraiser for the care of all the equine there is going to an auction where a basket will be created for each rescue. I needed to find the right items to put in her basket. What a WONDERFUL SURPRISE to find a winery in California that has the same name. I researched reviews and found so many positive I immediately bought one of the beautiful reserve bottles with the signature name along with wine glasses, cork puller and stone coaster. I look forward to the winner of Bella Luna’s basket to enjoy this wine“

“Absolutely beautiful! We knew the wine so when we drove past we had to stop by the vineyard and get a wine tasting!!! Thanks for everything, loved it!

Gale made the experience above and beyond incredible! Thank you so much, we will be back!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Castoro! my go to is their chardonnay and belana!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!???“

“Jack Creek Cellars is well worth your time. They have a wonderful Pinot noir that is smooth and on point. If you are going out on the 46 to see Jack Creek Cellars, I would also recommend that you make an appointment at Epoch as it is right down the street. Jack Creek cellars is a beautiful vineyard. You are right next to the vines with a farm on one side. There are rustic tables outside and a nice bar inside.“

“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.“

“great vineyard wonderful wine“
