We went to Paso Wine Fest for the first time a few weeks ago, (the first one Post-Covid) and stopped by Straight Out of Paso's booth near the end of the day. As we were looking at the wines on offer a good looking guy came up next to the server and jokingly said, "Don't serve this guy" and pointed to my Chargers hat. Turns out he was a Rams fan. But honestly I kinda stopped being a Chargers fan when they moved to LA. I grew up in San Diego, not LA. I just wore the hat because I knew it was going to be a hot day and we would be outside. But we got to talking and Brandon, (the guy's name), showed me pictures of So-fi stadium and told me I REALLY needed to see a game there. We tasted their wines and pretty much loved everything. Brandon spent quite a bit of time with us and introduced us to their winemaker and even a few other local winemakers. He was really awesome. On our next Paso trip we will certainly be planning a stop by their tasting room read more

The wine educator was young but knew her stuff. I wanted to walk in and yell "I'm here for the Cabron!" I lost my nerve because I'm not that person. I think she could have handled it if I had done that. Anyhoo, I loved being able to try wine aged on Hungarian oak. It was interesting and complex. I loved everything that was poured because it was interesting and different. There aren't many winemakers in this area that use barrels with American, French and Hungarian oak staves in one barrel during the aging process. It was intense but not in a bad way. I had never experienced those flavor profiles from a Paso wine before (and I'm native to the area.) The flavors were young but I'm excited to see what they do after a few years of bottle aging. The menu was Spanish origin heavy, but I like those varietals as do most people. The Tempranillo and Garnacha blends were pretty special. read more

Class act place. The wine is absolutely sensational. Everyone at the location describes the wine and the journey to that particular varietal in such detail. You can truly taste the passion and excitement in each wine you choose. We went to many popular wine destinations but none had more attention to detail then this winery. We were fortunate enough to meet Edgar himself who truly is an inspiration. I would recommend this winery to any person traveling to Paso Robles. The tempranillo is our top recommendation.

I recently visited the Bodega de Edgar tasting room in west Paso Robles and then a couple week later, the tasting room in east Paso. Both great ambience and friendly people (Marcel at the west location does a great job with the tasting - super knowledgeable and engaging.) The wines made by owner and winemaker Edgar Torres are primarily from Spanish varietals like Tempranillo, Garnacha, Carignan, and every wine I enjoyed very much. T Bodega de Edgar is definitely a winery to visit next time you're in Paso Robles. Great time, great people, great wine. Cheers! read more

Some of the best wine on the Central Coast. Edgar is amazing, fun, and not only an awesome guy but a great wine maker. Spanish varietals that compete with the best, and sometimes beat, the best of Spain. Actually most the time do beat them. If you have the pleasure of having Marcel serve you, then consider yourself served. He's very knowledgeable and weaves the story to match the wine. We loved it so much we are now wine club members read more

Tasting rooms are a tough rate anywhere you go these days. Palates are so different and everyone has their own tastes. Some people go just for opulent trappings of the rooms and others for the reputation of the wines or winemaker. .Bodegas de Edgar falls squarely in the second camp and I'd go as far as saying if you don't like what Edgar Torres is doing up here in Paso, you're either crazy or you are just not a wine person :-) OK maybe that's too far but seriously though, Edgar and his unassuming tasting room right behind another winery off Adelaida rd might fool you into thinking that this guy can't cut it with all the "estate" wineries nearby that have the land and the bucks $. Well he can. With a capital C. We taste wine all over California and I can say without hesitation that Edgar's Spanish varietals and blends are some of my absolute favorites. I would list them but, essentially, everything on his tasting menu is excellent so you really can't go wrong. I would buy every bottle he makes if I could afford to. Beyond that this guy works hard and is a super down to earth individual. That may or may not mean anything to some folks but it does to me and frankly it's easier for me to give my money to Edgar who has worked his way up and works his A$$ off than it is to give is to someone who showed up with a truckload of cash, bought a bunch of land, hired consultants and still doesn't make as good a product as Edgar. Just my take and I'll step off the soapbox now. Beyond the rant let's just say if you like rich, luscious wines of any style you are doing yourself a huge favor by visiting Edgar Torres at Bodega de Edgar. Seriously. read more

Hands down the best wine we tasted in Paso Robles. It was so good we went twice in the same week! This is an industrial type building in town, and has a cool modern vibe, but is not in the vineyards. Still, this was the best overall experience, and since it's in town it's easy to get there. The staff member (Stacy) was terrific and knowledgeable. The Spanish style wines were outstanding. The bigger named commercial wineries were fine, but this was our favorite. read more

We're NorCal residents, and Sonoma County fans. While on our first ever trip to the Central Coast wine country, we were a bit disappointed to find that a number of the Paso Robles wineries were Big Fancy Expensive Grounds places, and the price points for (admittedly good) wine quite a bit higher than the garagey places we love up north. After talking to the guy at Alta Colina (which was small and lovely), he directed us to the teeny tiny Bodega de Edgar up the road, and I'm really grateful for the recommendation. No pricey landscaping or merch - just good wine, from a small, family-type business. We tried some delicious Spanish varietals and chatted with the delightful Marcel for quite some time, tasting Albariño and Tempranillo blends, and even some delicious hard cider (!). Went home with six bottles of deliciousness and a happy feeling. PS: Marcel, look what we found at Firestone! read more

A quaint and welcoming winery with a mom and pop feel. As Paso grows, it is becoming more commercialized. Bodega de Edgar is one of those hard to find wineries where the owner will stop by your table, if you're there on a weekend, and share with you the origin story as well as provide local recs. I highly recommend this spot for its ambiance and down to earth setting. read more

Out of 10 Vineyards visited, it was the worst as far as atmosphere. Located in a warehouse in an industrial zone, it loses all of the feel of a winery. Seated outside in the scorching sun, they didn't provide fans or misters or anything making it very miserable. Sounds of construction is the only music you will hear. The wines were ok, but I wouldn't recommend wasting time here. Zero ambiance whatsoever. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Bodega de Edgar is a small family own winery focusing on producing small lots of wines, with the Spanish grapes. Albarino, Tempranillo, Garnacha, and some fun blends. We Produce about 2800 cases annually. Come visit us and experience great wines.

History

Established in 2009.

This was a project started with the passion of making natural wines. 2007 was our first harvest and 2009 was our first release with only 250 cases produced. It has been a lot of hard work and dedication that we have grown to produce approximately 3000 cases now. Our goal is to focus on producing small lots of wines and get them into your wine glass as naturally as possible.

Meet the Business Owner: Edgar T.

Edgar Torres got the wine bug while he was working as a waiter at Villa Creek in Paso Robles. A lot of young winemakers would hang out there, and Torres was able to experience a variety of wines. Eventually, he went to work in the cellars at the now-defunct Garretson Wines, then he moved on to work with Augie Hug at Hug Cellars in Paso Robles. Around this time, Torres -- a native of Michoacan, Mexico, who grew up in Cambria--was able to get his hands on a ton of grenache from Denner Vineyard. He made the wine and liked the results, so he bottled and sold it. He established Bodega de Edgar in 2007. His winemaking training has been mostly on the job. Torres worked for a time at Alta Maria and was the assistant winemaker for Barrel 27 in Paso Robles, where he also made his own wines. Edgar has his own focus. He works with site-specific wines and Spanish blends to give his customers a taste of Spain.

I believe sometimes companies have off days, and employees may have a bad day, which can affect one's experience, thus I dont let one bad experience ruin a company's review. But when it comes to my CHILD, you best believe i will never forgive and forget or let our experience be forgotten. We visited this winery expecting a relaxing, family-friendly experience and instead left with our daughter crying after being scratched in the face near her eye by the owner's off-leash dog. What makes this especially frustrating is that the winery's own rules state dogs must be leashed, yet the owners' dogs were roaming the property freely. Our daughter was calmly petting one of the dogs with me standing directly beside her when the dog suddenly growled and scratched her across the face. This was completely unprovoked and witnessed by the owner himself, who said absolutely nothing afterward. No apology, no concern, no accountability. An employee later approached us and said, "Sorry, he's old and maybe didn't like that she was the same height as him, which made him react".....which felt less like accountability and more like an absurd attempt to excuse why a reactive dog was allowed to roam off leash around guests and children. We also observed the dogs behaving territorially toward other leashed dogs on the property, making it even more inappropriate that they were allowed off leash in a public setting. My father-in-law is a VERY well known, well respected, and prominent winemaker in Virginia and across the United States, if you know anything about wine, you know him. So lets say, we understand winery culture and hospitality, fairly well. Had something like this happened on his property, it would have been handled immediately and professionally with genuine concern for the injured guest.....especially a child. Watching the owner casually continue on in his conversation with whomever, and pet the dog like nothing happened while our daughter screamed and cried was honestly unbelievable. In my opinion, not worth the visit for the subpar wine, if you want to take your children/dog somewhere. The poodles were friendly to me, and other adults, until we saw their behavior to other dogs & then my child....The complete lack of concern from ownership after a child was injured was shocking. Frankly, they are fortunate we chose not to escalate the situation further. Parents should absolutely be cautious visiting here with children or pets. An off-leash dog with territorial behavior has no place interacting freely with guests. Absolutely shocked and the owner should be ashamed of his actions & response (or lack there of) to the situation.

Tucked away at a simple warehouse off the beaten path, this experience was anything but ordinary…read more We started with an engaging session on handling birds of prey--informative, with just the right balance of history and hands-on learning. Everyone got the chance to hold each bird with a gloved hand. We met Bug, the calm and irresistibly cute mini owl; Jack, the Eurasian Eagle Owl, surprisingly heavy and full of personality (though not thrilled about being passed back to his handler); Goose, the chatty falcon who was charming but preferred not to be touched; and Ranger, the hawk, who stole the show. We loved sending Ranger out and calling him back with a treat--though he did swoop down and land on my head once (thankfully, I had a hat on!). After all the bird encounters, we wrapped up with a wine tasting at Via Vega Winery. It was the perfect way to end a unique, unforgettable experience.

Loved these birds! We learned so much about falconry and got to actually interact with them.read more

JUSTIN Downtown Tasting Room

We had a great experience at the Justin tasting room in downtown Paso Robles and would absolutely…read morerecommend it. A small bummer at the start was that we arrived before opening at 12PM and were waiting outside with several other guests. Someone unlocked the door, but no one let us know we could come in. About 4 minutes after 12, I tried the door and realized it was unlocked, though none of us had heard or seen it open. Not a huge deal, but a quick welcome would have been nice. After that, everything was fantastic. I love that Justin offers this tasting room separate from their main winery, which is several miles away. Having a location right in the downtown Paso Robles square is so convenient, especially being surrounded by shops and restaurants. I also really loved the setup with tables to sit at versus standing at a bar. They offer wine by the glass as well as different tasting flight options, and they also serve small bites. We heard there are different menus depending on the day, which is a nice touch. Our server greeted us quickly, brought water right away, and got our first tasting to us fast. She was very knowledgeable about the wines and did an excellent job explaining each one. Since we were in a bit of a hurry to catch a flight, she kindly brought all of our tastings out at once, clearly labeled, walked us through them, and let us enjoy at our own pace. We really appreciated that. Wish we had more time here. Highly recommend. Also, if you join their wine club, your tastings are complimentary, which is a great perk!

Luckily being premier wine members we were able to get in a tasting and thank goodness because the…read more2 tastings prior at other wineries were definitely unsatisfactory. The vibe is classy and clean. Feels like the Michelin starred wine tasting. We tried both flights and they were both phenomenal. We will definitely be back!

She was knowledgeable, she made sure every need was met from blankets for the cold, cushions for the seats and even a fan to keep flies away. I was the DD and Ariannie brought me their non alcoholic cab and chard to try which was delicious and made me feel more a part of the experience. The charcuterie board is a must made fresh every day.!! By far best wine tasting experience I have ever experienced and I have been all over the state to wineries. Will definitely be back on our next visit to Paso!!

I believe she had a friend sitting at the bar area so she just kept talking and talking. So her friend kept her occupied the entire time. Would definitely not come back.

They have a low priced tasting fee, but believe me...you'll be buying a bottle, or 3, or 6 -- yes, it's that good. Particularly, I loved the Estate Cuvee, a blend of Syrah and Cab, $65 and so...so...good. A special "shout out" to our Wine Educator, Joy, who was just that -- a joy!
