What a beautiful winery and even better views. Enjoyed a lovely tasting with a delicious burger. My group loved our wine tasting lunch read more

Six of us came here for a wine tasting and lunch. The experience was one of our best in Paso Robles in recent years. The wines were outstanding, especially the Syrahs, and the food was excellent and fairly priced. Recommend the salads, charcuterie plate, and bread. Our waiter Dimitri was terrific. He was covering a number of tables, but was here as needed and did a great job explaining the wine. The facilities are beautiful and the view is spectacular. Overall a great time. read more

Gorgeous views, great wine, and delicious food! I took my mom here for wine tasting and we had a fantastic experience. Our host was super polite and knowledgeable. Highly recommend getting their lunch as well. The food was delicious and came out quick We got their spring salad with chicken and truffle fries. Both items were delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit here and would love to come back! read more

The view was great just like Daou Vineyards but the tasting menu here was ok. Not as spectacular as some of the other places we tried this weekend but the view is worth the stop. We would come back. read more

We had the opportunity to stop here today while on a tour through Toast Tours! It was our first stop of the day and it set the bar very high! With a spectacular setting/ view, quality wines and a cheerful staff, you can't ask for much more. Our server Donna led us through the tasting menu and lunch options. The food did not disappoint! They provided a water bowl for our dog and there were a few lizards to keep his attention while we enjoyed our food and drinks. Loved that several of their wines pay homage to the late founder Lloyd. We would definitely recommend and try to come back the next time we are in the area! read more

What an amazing time, food and wine were great and our server George was so funny and attentive. Highly recommend this winery.

Another good winery for the books. Calcareous was recommended to us by a friend who is a wine club member. The vineyard is situated on a hill overlooking the rolling hills of Paso. It's very beautiful. You get to sit on the patio. Just a side note: it's on top of the hill, so it's freaking windy and weather is variable, so leave a jacket in the car just in case. Our server was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. We got to taste their wines. We found some wines that we like. We bought 6 to waive the $30 tasting fee. Buy 3 to waive one tasting. We liked their cab Sauv! Dog friendly. Also has food but we didn't try any. Next time we'll come for light lunch snacks. read more

Calcareous sits atop a hill overlooking Paso Robles wine country. This was a stop for lunch for my group of 10 and they were more than accommodating. We were blown away by how delicious all the food was. I ordered their lamb chops and they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The lamb was tender and I loved the crispiness of the crust. My wife's bucatini pasta was al dente and sauce was flavorful. The fries were a must. Perfectly crispy and soft on the inside. The aioli was a great accompaniment with the fries. I will defintely be back just for the food. read more

We had the pleasure of returning to Calcareous with our friends who was a first timer there and we were not disappointed. Besides being a fabulous place for tasting with incredible wines and incredible views our wi e host Philly was top notch. Welcoming us to our table and making the Calcareous experience a memorable one. All of the wines we tasted were so good and representative of the finely grown grapes of the Paso area. It's easy to see how Vineyards in the Paso Robles area make it easy to not drive an additional 3+ hours to Napa or Sonoma. We enjoyed a great lunch with our tasting and then chose to join their family of wines and become a member. Do not skip this one, tastings are reasonable, grounds and views are not to be missed and have lunch there you won't be disappointed. Staff is very friendly and welcoming as well as their dog Rusty. We will see you soon and bring more friends to experience this beautiful place. Bravissimo Calcareous! read more

Simply put....This place is amazing! The grounds, the tasting room, oh yeah and the wine is phenomenal! The French style Rose is so crisp, perfect for a hot afternoon. The reds are amazing, as the critics have decided as well. The food is to die for, go for the shrimp pasta, with the baguette. Game changer....best of all if you are lucky enough to have Pat serving you, your party will learn so much about the area, the vineyard and why it's so special. Enjoy read more

Out of four days in Cambria and Paso Robles, the lunch at Calcareous was the best food of our trip! We will never forget the bread and will certainly be back! The salad, hamburger and fries were the absolute best! The views were worth the drive. We were lucky enough to get Christian as our server - he was great! And thank you for bringing water for our pup and being pet friendly. Maybe it was the warm noon hour-but my favorite wine was the crisp Rose'. We'll be back! read more

I'm not a wine drinker or lover by any means and Calcareous is out of the way but I can wholeheartedly say that you should go visit. The grounds are beautiful and I only took two real photos but vineyard is on a hill and it's nice to be able to relax there and they're dog friendly. The tasting was good, I could tell you that I liked most of it. I tried their reserve and it was that bold cab that you kind of expect the region to be known for but I hadn't experienced much of. We also were there lunch so we got the charcuterie board to start with and Avocado BLT with egg. We initially got seated outside but there were a bunch of bees there and they were kind enough to let us dine indoors even with a dog. My experience there was a great one and worth the drive. read more

This was one of our best wine tasting trips we have ever had. Winding, single lane roads in the mountains take you completely out of the urban Paso Robles and into the surrounding limestone hills until you reach the top of a hill upon which is built the Calcareous Vineyard and tasting room. Bryce, our host was the epitome of friendliness and immense knowledge of the local wines and its history , along with his being from this area, made the conversation with him so very delightful, interesting and immensely entertaining and educational. Our Kudos to Bryce ! Next the wines as we were led so gracefully through the tasting seemed so very interesting and we could taste every nuance as explained. We absolutely loved the Cuvée , while the Trés Violet came in a close second. Light and tasty we could not resist buying a bottle or 2 of each! And then the food: OMG, while the charcuterie plate was phenomenal, the Moose Pizza was made so wonderfully and with such great ingredients that it took me back to pizza I had relished in a suburb of Pavia in Italy over 2 decades ago! Stop here for the pizza and not the wine only!! Will return and very soon! read more

Fantastic food and service! Philly was knowledgeable about all the wines, created a warm environment, and was accommodating as we changed our orders. The wine tasting was a good sampling, but the Estate Cab Sav was top tier! Daniel was working behind the scenes as a busser and never sat still- he was working harder than anyone else! I ordered the house burger, which was juicy and delicious. The bread was garlicky and we will be back for more of it! read more

What happened to this place. Which corporation came and took over this once hidden gem? It's like Temecula came to Paso, Wines are just OK. Place is more like a restaurant with mediocre service than a winery. The grass looks like shit. I can understand the drought, but at $80 a bottle, you can add some decomposed granite to make your outdoor area look a lot nicer. Such a disappointment. Used to be wine club members here. read more

We are members, and this place is our go-to place for an amazing view and superb wines. Service was excellent as well. My wife and I shared a charcuterie board. The price is exorbitant given the modest and uninspiring selection and amount of food. I think the winery should re-think this serving and price. read more

Calcareous Vineyard - Happy clients with Erik! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

We have never been to wine tasting in Paso Robels. During the pandemic, reservation was mostly required; walk-in was available but not guaranteed for tasting. We made a reservation at Calcareous Vineyard at 11am with $20 per person wine tasting. At the winery, on top of the wine tasting, they also served expensive light snacks and more wines. Since we intended to have lunch there, we were sad to see the selections of the menu. We ordered the cheese plate and caprese panini. Caprese panini wasn't bad but not fulfilling, especially for $15. Cheese plate was very sad and something that we wouldn't order again. Truly, the service was probably the biggest turn off here. Our server spent a lot of more time chatting with other tables than us. At the end of the day, we know nothing about the winery or the brand. Cheese plate was pretty much dropped off with no one telling us what we had in the plate. We would have thought that was a normal thing at Calcareous, but the table next to us with a different server was getting a history chat of the winery and what was on the cheese plate. We also had no idea how much we had to buy to have the tasting waived, or if that was even an option. Overall experience not impressed. The view of the vineyard was great, but that was about it. The wine was decent but very pricey compared to other local brands. We don't see any reasons to visit this place again. read more

Calcareous Vineyard has quickly become my favorite new winery! We were heading home from a weekend in Pismo Beach and wanted to stop at at least one winery in Paso Robles on the way. After seeing the reviews here on Yelp and seeing the stunning view, we knew that Calcareous was the spot! The vineyard itself is located a bit off the highway {maybe a 15 minute drive} and is placed on the top of a hill filled with grape vines - That view.. Wow! What an absolutely perfect setting for a wine tasting! Important to note - They are on a tight schedule with Covid so be sure to call ahead for a reservation. They are taking every precaution in making sure all tables are spaced apart, all team members are wearing masks and only allowing for a certain number of reservations. I should have checked out the website prior to arriving as we were unaware that a reservation was needed - and we also showed up on the hottest day of the year {111 degrees at it's peak} and the winery was closing early due to extreme temps. The team there was absolutely spectacular and still took us in for a tasting! We had the pleasure of meeting with Lisa, who was beyond friendly, so personable and made our visit {on our birthday.. yes, my husband and I have the same birthday} simply perfect. We did a flight tasting of five different wines {one white and four red} - Each of these were delicious - We absolutely fell in love with the 2019 Viognier {a delightful and crisp white whine}! We weren't even half way through the tasting and we decided to join the wine club - We took our summer order with us and look forward to our next delivery. Huge thank you to the Calcareous team for helping to make our birthday so special and for all of the amazing new wines! read more

This is a hard one for me. When I first came to this winery. Our server was exceptional and was greeted by two lovely people. The experience was great so we became members. Our first visit after becoming members was unfortunate. The server we had, it was clear our table of two was an inconvenience to him since he had "regular" members he needed to take care of. When I asked what he suggested to start with he said, Well you're the member, you choose. It became a very uncomfortable situation for us. He never did provide our entire flight or check on us and we were just glad to leave. When I emailed the wine club and tasting room about the experience I never received a response. When I sent a second email I got a canned response from the tasting room mgr. I called and no response. It was clear they didn't care. We cancelled our membership and finally received an email almost 2 weeks after from the wine club. It was so frustrating and sad to us. There are so many wonderful wineries such as Niner and others who care about members and non members alike. They might have the best view around but we will take kindness and service any day. Too bad read more

Came here for a bachelorette weekend and am not a wine drinker, but wanted to review this place because of the outstanding service. We were seated in the place where they made the wine, which I thought was rad. They also had a really friendly, mildly chonky cat that I loved. As my group was wine tasting, I was just enjoying the ambiance and the company, and was genuinely content. Then, they brought me my own San Pellegrino tasting, three flavors of sparkling beverage that were all delicious. It was wonderful. They mentioned that they also do this for kids too, which I thought was super sweet. The individuals working really make sure everyone feels included. In terms of the wine, my group liked what they tasted and had a great time! But that's about all that I can tell you. Y'all should try it yourselves if you're interested. If not for the wine, at least for the cat and the service. They also sell snacks! read more

This is our favorite winery in Paso Robles. If you visit, ask for Erik, he is the best! So knowledgeable, genuine, friendly, and welcoming. It's such a pleasant visit, with exquisite offerings. The Tres Violet is our favorite, a gorgeous blend with 10% Syrah. Your eyes will feast on the panoramic views, while perched under the sun and skies. Their food offerings are well thought out and equally tasty, complimenting each wine. This was only our second visit, but we will return time and again, with the knowledge that each visit will be more memorable than the last. read more

We four girl friends met up and were so happy to be guests of Carlynn Bandy, who is a member. First of all, the location!! Wow! Beautiful spot with sweeping panoramic views of the valley and mountains. I'm sure it is probably hot in the summer but we enjoyed a perfect spring afternoon. The sun was just right, breeze with a kiss of sage, and bird song! The staff made us feel very welcome and Eric helped us. He was very knowledgeable about the wines and shared anecdotes and info on what he was serving. The wine was very flavorful and with multiple varieties to satisfy a multitude of discerning palates. Seating was very comfortable and the ambiance was very hospitable and comfortable. We ordered a charcuterie board which came with just the right combination of meats, cheeses, olives, and fruits, etc...salty and sweet. We nibbled to our hearts content. For lunch I ordered the salmon which was pretty tasty. It was served with root vegetables. Carlynn ordered a very creamy mushroom risotto. It looked and smelled divine. Jessica had a burger...very gourmet wagyu beef. Heather had a brisket (?) sandwich and both were very happy with their meals. What impressed me most was the overall look and feel of the place. It was welcoming and warm. We were able to ask questions and learned quite a bit. Above all, this peaceful spot gave us the opportunity to just BE! We relaxed, chatted, enjoyed good wine, friendship, and food. I can't wait to go again and take my husband. read more
