So glad I randomly decided to stop here as I was going to be super early to my next stop! Loved the area it's in, very cute inside and vast grounds. Dog friendly! The wines were excellent. I really wanted to buy a bottle but this time around it was just too expensive but I plan to make sure to save up to get one next time! Loved the vibe of the place and felt very welcome. read more

Caliza Winery - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

One of the winery's you can be in a sophisticated ambiance and just relax with some delicious wine. I read the story of Caliza winery via the "Paso Robles App," so we knew who was the winemaker and the owners story. To our surprise we entered the tasting room and the owner was RIGHT THERE I wanted to ask to take a picture with him but I felt a bit shy and embarrassed. They have such an amazing story that it made our experience that much better! We truly enjoyed all the wines but left with our two favorites the Reserve Syrah and ROSE. The Reserve Syrah bottle is hands down the most beautiful bottle Thank you all the way from Texas!! read more

Great interior and exterior sitting area . Wines are great quality but in higher end of prices. Wines tasting is 30$ per person and matching cheese plate is 25$ BUT you can buy a bottle for 50$ drink some and take home the rest of the bottle . Not bad for relaxing read more

In Paso for the weekend, we decided to make Caliza Winery a part of the trip. We came for Burger Sunday on the lawn, and it was INCREDIBLE! The area was beautiful, so serene with trees everywhere. There was ample seating to enjoy the views. They had live music, friendly and helpful workers, and the chef cooking straight from the grill on the lawn. The burgers we had were some of the best I've ever had, they tasted so gourmet and paired really nicely with the wine we were recommended. This was truly such a fun and relaxing experience, I'd recommend Caliza to anyone wanting to try it. read more

This is a hidden jam! For people like me who only focus on quality of wine but not beautiful ambiance or spectacular views, most of the wine tasting reviews on Yelp or YouTube are irrelevant for me. This small winery mainly focus on Rhône style blends, has a lot of other interesting blends and single grape varietals to offer. We were there on Monday morning at 11am, the only group of wine tasting guest. It was the date right after the Paso Robles Wine Festival that ended on Sunday, so we were lucky to taste extra samples that were leftover from the day before. The original flight consisted of five wines - 1 Rose and 4 reds for just $30, which was considered very reasonable in Paso Robles. But we were given 4 extra reds from the leftover. Overall the wines were very good compared to most of the other Paso Robles wineries, particularly those common names that you could find in supermarket or wine shops. I really like their Rose ( aka "Pink" ) that consisted on 85% Grenache and 15% Mourvedre. It was very refreshing on nose and on palate, with good complexity and medium length of finish. The 100% Grenache that was fermented in concrete tank instead of in oak barrel ( it was not on the tasting menu ), was outstanding! It's pale in color and light in body as Pinot Noir, but it's elegant & refreshing on the nose and on palate. with round and beautiful lingering finish. The other "Grenache" on the tasting menu that was fermented in oak barrel, consisted of 93% Grenache and 5% Syrah, was fuller in body and complex on palate but I really loved the one using concrete tank. It's so unique and I have never tasted such beautiful 100% Grenache so far, not from US, Spain or France. The "Sympatico", which consisted of 60% Tempanillo, 22% Grenache, 8% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre and 5% mataro, was another stunner! It's beautiful on the nose and complex on the palate with medium+ finish. We were also given the Reserve Syrah ( not on the tasting menu ) to taste. It's spicy on nose, complex on the palate with beautiful and round finish, loved it! All the wines are not cheap but I think they are reasonably prices with high QPR, especially if you join their wine club you'll get 20% off. In fact we joined their wine club on spot as we all loved most of their wines. Their staff, Maury ( I hope I got his name right ) was super friendly, knowledgable and passionate about wine. He served us very professionally and was patience to answer all our questions. He also recommended ( upon our requests ) so other interesting/good wineries and restaurants for us, thank you so much Maury! read more

Honestly so happy to have been a member for the past 4 years. Maury is a gem of a person and the details/depth to which he remembers you even after all these years is just so very special. The wines are also excellent, especially the Azimuth and concrete Grenache. Highly recommend read more

Winery is tucked away up on Pacific and quite relaxing. Weather couldn't be better and the wine is tasty. Recommend read more

Caliza Winery - Tastings $30 be sure to pair with the cheese extra $20. - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

What a gorgeous new venue they have moved to. Ample space inside but the outside is what really shines. Nestled next to the hillside you have a comfortable intimate patio feel complete with patio heaters for the chillier winter days and ample shade for the summer days. The folks pouring here make sure you enjoy your experience. They are welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about their wines. The reds here are delightful. A very enjoyable place to visit and very close to downtown. read more

The new Caliza tasting room is awesome. And the wines are one of the most under rated in Paso. Staff was super friendly too. Highly recommend read more

After nearly 15 years of visiting Paso Robles wineries I finally found myself at Caliza Winery. Located at the end of a maintained, but not quite paved, road you'll find this hidden gem of a winery. Most of the locals know it well, and I've even had it scouted for quite some time. But the opportunity never presented itself to visit. We made plans late July to visit some nearby Paso Robles wineries, checking off my list of never-before-visited spots. We first stopped at Booker and then to Caliza. Both the aesthetic and vibe were a total juxtaposition. One that I appreciated. Caliza beckons a time in Paso Robles past. One where wine was approachable, affordable, and all estate. Where locals owned both the vineyard and winery and you'd see them all pouring for you. Caliza brings back memories of this Paso. Combined with their expert knowledge of the terroir and winemaking, Caliza is one of the best wineries in the area. When we arrived we were immediately greeted by our (now favorite) wine pourer, Maury. He guided us with stories, jokes, and all the knowledge and wine one could consume. It was blissful. While the tasting room and outside seating is comfortable and beautiful, don't expect a perfectly curated environment. I wouldn't expect it any other way. Definitely opt for the cheese pairing - they do a fantastic job sourcing cheeses including locally made. Our favorite was a cheese made by a local high school student! We've returned since then to taste and have had equally lovely experiences. So much so, we joined the wine club. Caliza is the real deal in Paso. Take that dead end road (wave to Booker as you drive by) and enjoy the delights Caliza has to offer. read more

What a beautiful spot! Only a few minutes from town but nestled between lush trees and mountains you feel like you are in the country with no one around. Stunning landscape welcomes you. The tasting room equally beautiful and inviting. Natalia was so lovely and kind it made our tasting experience one for the books. Can't wait to go back when it's warmer and enjoy the picnic tables. read more

Wonderful winery. Very relaxed. Great ambiance. Absolutely delicious wines. Morrey, our server was great. Ambiance. Beautiful tasting room. Not mammoth. Sitting outside and doing our tasting was great. As a side note, they had no problem that we had brought some items to gnosh on while tasting. Service. Morrey was our server. Just a wonderful man. He has helped us both times that we were here. He is very knowledgeable in talking about the wine, and the winemaker's vision. He did this in a way that was informative and not condescending. Such a nice man. Wines. Ok. Here is where they shine. They produce Rhône varietals. We started with a Rose', and then we tasted a very complex Roussane. We then tasted Cohort, which was a Petite Syrah, Syrah and Mouvedre blend. Next was the Syrah. Absolutely amazing. We then tasted Companion. This is a Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petite Verdot blend. Again, delicious. Here's the problem. All were delicious. It's in trying to limit how much that you are going to buy. In summation, this is a must visit stop if you enjoy Rhône Varietals. read more

Great wine it's a must have with the cheese pairing if you go. Maury is the best and knows his wine.

Hidden gem! Small, intimate winery with beautiful hillsides, nice and comfortable outdoor tasting area. Very serine. Wines were delicious. Guide was personable and knowledgeable, yet not intrusive. We will be coming back! read more

Caliza continues to be one of my favorite Paso wineries... and I've been to a lot of them over the years. Yes, we're members here but it's nice to still be remembered whenever we come in for a tasting or pick up. Their staff are phenomenal: well educated about the grapes/wines and so personable. You really get the feel of a non-corporate family winery at Caliza. Very comfortable and non-rushed. As for the wines, you can't go wrong with anything here. They are what I would consider mid-range priced - about $60 a bottle but very much worth it. My favorites are their Azimuth and Simpatico. Enjoy! read more

Wine is most definitely a subjective thing. What I may find delightful, someone else may find to be terrible. I'm sure many a sommelier would disagree, but for the average person just hoping to relax with something pleasing to their palate, it's hard to review a winery just for wines alone. For that reason, I'm usually more interested in steering people towards friendly establishments with good atmosphere. And Caliza does just that. Located just off Hwy 46, but far enough down Anderson Road that it feels a bit more secluded, you'll find the small Caliza tasting room. Compared to some of the fortress like tasting rooms visible from the highway, Caliza is a boutique winery tucked away behind a curve in the road and surrounded by oak trees. It's the kind of winery that grew Paso into what it is today - casual, slower paced, and not focused on busloads of revelers jumping from tasting to tasting. We popped in on a Sunday afternoon with two dogs in tow (the patio is dog friendly) and delighted in being the only people there for part of our tasting. The inside tasting room looked to be a pretty simple bar setup with some artwork and merchandise inside, though most of our time was spent outside. Since we were the only people, we took our seats at some comfy patio furniture with a nice umbrella. Even at nearly 90 degrees outside, the breeze and shade made it quite comfortable. Our tasting was pleasant, with only one wine that wasn't much to our liking. We didn't have to keep going inside for pours, as the staff was happy to come pour on the patio for us since we had the dogs. Perhaps this wouldn't be the case if they were busy, but for slower days like our visit, we appreciated it. The pours were a touch slow because it was a bit harder for the staff to see if we'd finished a wine and were ready to move on, but with a comfortable spot and nice breeze, we certainly didn't mind. Overally a nice little find off Hwy 46 that is worth a visit. read more

Caliza Winery - Outdoor seating - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Had a recent trip to Paso Robles over the Memorial Day weekend and this was our favorite stop! They require reservations at this time so make sure to book it online. The tasting was in a great shaded outdoor space. Murray was amazing and had so much knowledge to share about Caliza Winery. He made the experience the best! I enjoyed all the wines we tried too. I know this winery is top quality because at every other winery we stopped at over the weekend, people were surprised we found this hidden gem! This winery is a must try. read more

We visited six wineries in three days. It was somewhat of a mistake to start at Caliza. Why? They were the very best in terms of outstanding wine and expert service all in a gorgeous setting. Mandy was gracious, patiently detailing an overview of each wine. The cheese pairings where perfect. We are now huge fans of Caliza and will see them every time we make the trek to Paso. Cheers!!! read more

I was enjoying admiring the outside, that I was reminded to enter. Cute and comfortable tasting room -- although the busiest of any we encountered; despite the number of people and the noise, we were quickly acknowledged and assisted by the very warm and friendly staff -- including the owner, himself! Again, despite all of the people, we still enjoyed a relaxed wine tasting experience. Our tasting included 4 delightful wines (and a couple of bonus tastes). Attractively bright-and-airy room, tasty wines, nice people... Fun find! read more

Don't let the dirt driveway mislead you. It's not fancy looking but the wine and service is great. Bought a bottle of Kissin Cousins for a relative and even though I rarely drink white wine it was really good. The Grenache aged in concrete was unique and a fav. So was the Reserve Syrah. It's pricey so expect $75 and more for any red... read more

I am a member here because of the excellent wine, but also because the staff makes you feel like family.

Caliza winery was a great find! Their cheese pairing is a must! Not only are the wines silk smooth but there are balanced and just lovely! Additionally, The service Mory provided was awesome! He is a wealth of knowledge, and made the experience extra special! Needless to say, I joined the club, and highly recommend this Paso winery! read more

Caliza was recommended to us by some locals we met tasting at another winery. We were pleasantly surprised by this tasting room. It is the last winery (farthest from 46W) on Anderson road. Plenty of parking. The tasting room is not small but not huge either. The staff was very friendly and had no problem with our requests to revisit a couple of wines. We tasted the Vigonier, Kissin Cousins (a blend of Vigonier, Grenache Blanc and Rousanne), Pink, Syrah , and Azimuth (a GSM blend). I wasn't really looking for whites, nothing wrong with them, just wasn't looking for whites on that day. Of the two, I preferred the Kissin Cousins. Normally I dislike Rose wines. I even contemplated skipping their Pink; good thing I didn't. The color is a darker hue of red than most Rose wines. I was told this is because they leave the skins on the grapes longer. It actually made for a really interesting and unique wine. It was heavier, more substantial than a typical Rose. We liked it so much we actually picked up a couple of bottles as the price was pretty reasonable ($23). The Syrah was good, but not my favorite. The Azimuth was very good, and am not a huge fan of GSMs. This one I actually liked. I had trouble pulling the trigger at $48 a bottle. I really liked this place and think it is definitely worth a visit. read more

A great atmosphere for wine tasting, the grounds though small, are quite inviting and comfortable. The whole place is quite picturesque and the gradient of the surrounding hills are super steep. Along with great wine, they also sell boutique olive oil and lightly scented soaps. My girlfriend and I enjoyed all of the wines but the Syrah was a must purchase! We left with a bottle and some good memories, definitely coming back on our next trip. The woman who was helping us was either the wife of the winemaker, the winemaker or the owner, or all three. Regardless, she was quite informative about the short history of Caliza Winery and above all, extremely friendly. My girlfriend and I really liked her and I am sure the rest of you will as well. read more

My girl friends and I had an amazing time here. The owner and his wife guided us through the tasting, telling us stories along the way. The tasting room is very quaint and homey. We could not have asked for nicer hosts. I took home a bottle of Kissing Cousins, I don't usually like white wines, but this one was just fantastic. read more

Another rare tasting room review from me, but these guys are awesome. To review, I work in the industry and I really think wine is a very subjective preference so I speak to service, tasting room ambiance and value. You need to decide for yourself if you like the wine, but I think it's very approachable. Mostly Rhone varietals, but they have a great cabernet sauvignon. Everyone is bound to find something they like here. The setting is lovely, right down the street from the locals' favorite, Midnight Cellars. read more

We can't go to Paso without coming to Caliza. I'm beyond biased because my husband proposed to me here, but every time the service, atmosphere and wine and excellent. If you love bold Rhône blends, this is the place for you. Shout out to Mandy for taking such good care of us. Definitely love that they've teamed up with another favorite, Vivant Fine Cheese, to offer cheese pairings. It's at the end of Anderson Road and worth the trip! We love you, Caliza! read more

Attended a fantastic Winemaker Dinner at Caliza Winery. They were able to entice Chef Brian from Ember, Arroyo Grande to come and pair the meal with their incredible wines! Outstanding meal with great pairings. They were very accommodating due to the inclement weather and housed us in a tent with a view of the grounds. The meal was delicious and plentiful and the wine pairings were spot on. We enjoyed meeting Carl from Caliza, who was a very gracious host. read more

Visited Caliza winery today for the first time, enjoyed their excellent Grenache, the spicy, berry flavor was soft on the palate. All of Caliza's blends using Grenache were also delicious. The tasting room was stylish and warm situated among a beautiful Paso setting. Tyler made our visit pleasant and enjoyable. Thank you read more

Have to admit we stumbled upon this place by accident. We were actually looking for Booker but it looked like the Tasting Room was closed since gates were closed, maybe someone was having a private function there but don't know for sure. Anyways Caliza is right next door at the end of Anderson Rd. And I'm glad we found this one. First of all it's was a very quaint little tasting room and my dogs were welcomed with open arms. Tasting fee was a bit high at $15 but it's was waived since we made a purchase over $40. But the wines were all definitely very pleasing. I don't usually like white wines but we ended up taking home 2 bottles of Kissin' Cousins (a white wine blend). I would definitely recommend checking this place out if your passing thru Paso Robles with your dogs! read more

Bob from Alta Colina recommended Caliza and we are so glad they were able to squeeze us in for a same day tasting! Mauri was so amazing and entertaining, we learned so much about wine and enjoyed every Caliza wine! Took two bottles home and can't wait to have them again! Will def come back soon! Loved it! read more

This must be our 8th, 9th or maybe closer to our our 20th trip to Paso since we moved to California and this time round we decided that the trip had to be focused on places we'd always wanted to go and never gotten round to visiting or places we'd had bookmarked forever on yelp because of their great reviews. Stop one, Caliza and it set a fantastic tone for the weekend! Arriving at 12 on Friday we pretty much had the place to oursleves. Behind the bar was Pam who was super friendly and super helpful, she walked us through the various wines on the tasting list, helped us out with recommended local gems we should put on our must visit list and gave us a great history of the vineyard and wines and the wines where delicious!!! We walked out with three bottles of the Sympatico it was just that good!! Definitely recommend if your in the area and I know we'll be back as soon as we can to try some of their soon to be released vintages read more

What an amazing find!!! We went here because we had purchased the wine passport and it was listed on that and we didn't need a reservation. When we pulled up I thought it was such a cute little place. Yellow house with some beautiful scenery all around it! I was really impressed. Its a smaller tasting room, but beautiful inside there as well. The place was kind of busy when we got there, but we were helped immediately. Our tastings were free because of the wine passport, but I believe they are normally 10$. I didn't like the kissing cousins, but other than that one I LOVED all of their wines. I was especially surprised that I enjoyed their pink. I typically go for bold reds, but I thought their pink wine was unique. After doing several tastings I realized how much I enjoyed their wine and decided to go ahead and join their wine club. The lady was so nice and actually gave me the first shipment right there! Which was great, I didn't have to pay for shipping! The Pink was not included in the shipment so I decided to go ahead and buy a bottle of that as well. Obviously I would recommend giving this place a try! I cant wait to come back! read more

Fantastic!!! Hosted a 10 person virtual tasting, and it was amazing. I will definitely do this again.

Really fun tasting. Maury was a sweetheart. Winery is very welcoming and cozy. Good wines too- our favorite was the Grenache. At 70 per bottle it was the most expensive on the menu for good reason. Not like anything you can find on the shelves of a store. read more

Walk ins welcome and right next to Booker, so a good place to try before or after an appointment there. Welcoming staff and wine maker. Low key and laid back tasting room and some genuinely tasty wines! read more

I liked this tasting room okay. I think there were only four wines on the list and then when asked if there were any others, she pulled one more from their sister winery. I wasn't too wowed but I seem to recall I enjoyed their Sympatico (tempranillo, syrah, grenache) the most...though at $48 a bottle I wasn't prepared to pick one up. Small pours, Dog friendly, Beautiful glass if you want for $9.50. read more

This was our first stop on our quick getaway to Paso. It was an auspicious start to the day. The tasting room was small but charming. The setting was lovely - picture perfect and immediately relaxing. The wines were wonderful. I enjoyed all of them. We ended up with the syrah and the white. The wines were definitely priced high but I feel, well-worth it. read more
