I stopped in to share a bottle of bright, festive Champagne with a friend and immediately understood why this place has such a loyal following. The staff has that rare ability to make you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. Genuine smiles, easy conversation, and hospitality that never feels rehearsed. The interior is a designer's dream--warm, layered, a little smoky, and filled with interesting textures that invite you to slow down and look around. Truth be told, I originally wandered in as a location scout for Alchemyic Artisan, but I happily stayed for the bubbles and the ambiance. And if the moon happens to be in the right mood, you may have the pleasure of meeting Melane'... an intuitive with an infectious spirit who occasionally appears to be quietly crocheting while waiting for the next spiritual download to arrive. If you're lucky enough to have her read your tarot cards, lean in. Whether you're a believer or simply curious, she's an absolute delight. Come for the Champagne. Stay for the conversation. Leave inspired. A must-stop for anyone who appreciates great wine, thoughtful design, and places with genuine soul.

They also have a short but good menu for food items as well. We got their charcuterie plate, a bowl of their daily soup, and a small salad. Everything was fresh with good flavor and the bread was addicting! Even my wife that doesn't eat bread couldn't put it down. I do wish the soup came out a bit hotter but it was tasty with a nice kick to it. Would definitely come back to Parrish for a tasting next time I'm in town.

I highly recommend checking them out.

Our first stop when we arrived in Paso. We've been to so many wineries, this would be one of our top 10. The spice pairing is unique but pairs so well with the wine. Buy 3 bottles to waive the fee. Since it's more of boutique, the bottles are quite pricey, mostly ranging near the 100s. But it was our favorite the whole weekend we went there. And we bought 6 bottles. We loved the spell and got 3 bottles of that! It's a Syrah cab blend. Has the Paso flavor that we love. It's not a vineyard, just a tasting room but worth a visit. We met the wine maker too. Friendly and attentive service. Can't wait to pop open a bottle at home soon!

What we didn't expect was to be completely blown away. The facility is on the smaller side without a lot of frills, but honestly that's part of the charm. The staff are warm and genuine, and you can feel their pride in both the winery and the wines they produce. The focus here is on GSM blends and other Rhône varietals, along with Bordeaux blends and varietals -- big, bold, and fruit-forward, but balanced enough to keep things interesting glass after glass. We had such a great experience that we joined the wine club before we left. We don't live locally, but the Ecluse Enthusiast membership is absolutely worth it -- especially with only a 6-bottle annual commitment. It's given us a great reason to make Paso an annual trip, and Ecluse is always one of our must-stop favorites. Since joining, the winery has gone through some exciting changes. They've built out a beautiful terrace overlooking the vineyard, and they were acquired by Thibido Winery. We were a little nervous about what that might mean for the brand we loved, but they've stayed true to keeping both labels separate and distinct -- and we've only benefited from it, since we now get to taste wines from both when we come for our annual pickup. We can't wait to spend more time on that terrace during our next visit. If you're putting together a Paso Robles wine itinerary, Ecluse deserves a spot on it.

The small tasting room is next to an auto body shop in an area you definitely wouldn't expect to find a tasting room. They have some bench seating outside and standing room tasting at the bar inside. We opted for outside since it was a gorgeous day. This spot had been really hyped up to us for how fun and raunchy it can be (while still having really solid wines), we didn't get much of that outside - so we'd probably opt for a bar tasting next time to get a little more of the personality. The tasting menu had 6 wines, one white and 5 big reds. We ended up taking a bottle of their On the Road grenache home with us. Wines were a little more expensive than a lot of the other wineries we frequent here, but not absurdly expensive.

We are the type of members who always take great care of the staff and rarely leave without purchasing extra bottles, yet today we were treated like an inconvenience. Despite being told in the past that spontaneous visits were no problem for members, we were turned away on a gloomy Monday with plenty of open tables. The host at the entrance was incredibly dismissive and wouldn't even let us finish our sentence before cutting us off. We were told our only options were to come back in an hour, a "limited" tasting, drive all the way downtown, or just pick up our shipment and leave. We asked for the Wine Club Manager to resolve the situation, but she wasn't on-site. To be offered a "partial" tasting as a favor after nearly ten years of support was the final straw. It feels as though they now prioritize "closing" new members over honoring the people who have supported them for years. They've gone mainstream and lost the personal touch that made them special.

Quality/Quantity - After tasting a few wines, I settled on a glass of Pinot Noir. Atmosphere - Small tasting room, bar, indoor, and outdoor seating. Plus tasting. Got lucky, as today they were bottling so we got to experience that a little. And due to the small size, they bottle via a trailer; see pictures. Plenty of Tin City parking, as we got here late and right before closing. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 5pm. Service - Emma was perfect. As usual, we were the only customers. We got all the attention. It felt like we were all just hanging out. (Or she was just so bored, lol). She shared so much information about the winery and Paso Robles. We compared stories and wineries, etc. Lastly, she gave us a tour of the facility as the production just ended. This was unexpected and really appreciated. Price - $18 + generous tip. I just got a glass of their Pinot Noir. Tastings are $20 a person and waived with two bottle purchases. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this location since 2019. I can see why you are 5 stars; great service culture.

They were happy to accept us as walk-ins, and offered us our choice of seating. They have outdoor seating and indoor standing tastings at the bar, since we didn't have too much time we opted for a bar tasting with Kirsten (the wife of one of the owners). It was great learning about the wines, and the area of France that they are inspired by. The wines here are a little different than most you see in Paso, they have a lot of white wine and do a decent amount of skin contact on some of them. Some of the wines reminded me of natural wine, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I know a lot of people who love them. I ended up leaving with a bottle of their 100% Pinot Blanc, a little sweeter than something I would usually go for, but I'm excited to drink it on a nice summer day!

I wanted to squeeze in a wine tasting anywhere while she did some browsing at the stores, and her last comment was "just make sure they are kid-friendly." I wasn't going to stop at Hope on Park, even though the aesthetics of the wine tasting bar are really appealing, just because in the past I haven't always super loved the flagship cabernet that is distributed everywhere and the place was so nice, it didn't seem kid-friendly. However, the host, Alli, was so friendly and engaging that I paused to reconsider. Once she mentioned that it was also legal to take the wine to the park, as long as you had a lid, I was in, as I had an escape plan if it didn't work out with my family!! From that point on, it was a really fun and magical tour of the entire lineup of Austin Hope--with many really enjoyable whites and reds. Alli also offered up revisits and other bottles that weren't in the lineup...and she was super knowledgeable about all the wines, since that is what she is studying at school. When my wife came with our son, Alli also really engaged both of them with both the wine lineup and juice for my son, being really kind and generous to both of them and I could tell they both really liked her as well. So, this ended up being the perfect spot! I guess my instincts were right!! Of course, we were going to buy a couple of bottles to get the tasting fee waived and to repay her for her kindness...however, we loved the experience and her so much, we ended up buying the two most expensive bottles there.
