Sal was a fantastic guide and catered to our specific wine exploration experience! Knowledgeable and had some great laughs! Took us to places we would not have thought of on our own! Would book him again in the future! read more

Jeff! You're the best! Thanks for great service, a beautiful ride on a beautiful day and Stillwaters.

Sal was excellent and this tour was so so much fun!! The jeep was a really cool way to see Paso and the surrounding wineries. We went to three wineries that each offered complimentary or extremely discounted full tastings! It was nice to explore some more off the beaten path wineries and learn about this unique area. Sal was accommodating to the type of wines we wanted to try. We were able to chat with him and have lunch loved meeting him and will definitely do this tour again! Thanks Sal!! read more

Sal did NOT disappoint! He did exactly what he said we would do and also gave us options. We went to amazing wineries, and olive oil tasting and to a spot called Tin City. It was a girls trip for 3 of us who have been friends for 37 years. Sal was funny, respectful and knowledgeable! Definitely booking again with my hubby. THANK YOU SAL for an unforgettable time! read more

This was a great day of touring wineries. Sal DeMauro was a wonderful guide and provided an inciteful, informative view into the wine business in Paso Robles. We went to three very different wineries. Sculptura was in a beautiful valley with georgeous grounds. Our tasting was provided by Kat, the daughter of one of the artists and grew up on the property. At Loma Seca we had lunch provided by Sal with the owner Steve. And, at Kiamie we found a very laid back owner Greg with goats and Allman Brothers' music. All in all Sal led us on a 7 hour enjoyable journey. read more

My sister and I had a fantastic day with Sal as our tour guide! He arrived early, took us to great wineries and kept us entertained all day. Sal knows the Paso area and it was fun to learn some history about the town too. The Jeep experience was super fun and lunch was great! Thank you Sal for a fun day and we look forward to doing this tour with you again! read more

I had the opportunity to do the jeep tours twice! Once in 2021 (with a friend) and another time in 2023 with more girl friends (for my 40th birthday). Justin was our driver both times. Both experiences were consistent and fantastic. The day started out by being picked up at our Air BnB. Then we picked up another group from a separate hotel. Not only was the tour unique in driving along the roads less traveled by standard wine tours, we got to visit smaller wineries that provided a more personalized and engaging experience. The lunch provided was delicious both times. Fresh ingredients and flavorful. While Justin generally has an idea of the wineries in mind at the beginning of the day, he is open to changes per request. By the end of each adventure, the new people met and the amazing wine increases my love of Paso Robles after each visit. Looking forward to my next trip! read more

I can't recommend this tour enough. We have used Central Coast Jeep Tours 3 times, and every time has been a great experience! Our first time we had Phil as our driver, and other two times we had Justin. Both are absolutely wonderful. Whether you book your own tastings or let them choose for you, it will be a positive experience. I recommend letting them pick a few wineries for you, they know the hidden gems. Sal is also very easy to work with. This last time we went, I was a little anxious because we had a large party and I was having difficulty making tasting reservations. Sal eased my nerves and told me not to worry about it, all I had to do was show up and enjoy myself. And trust me, we did! If you are considering booking this tour, look no further and go for it. You will not be disappointed ! read more

We had a great time on the jeep tour with Sal! We loved that he picked and dropped us up straight from our airbnb. What was even better was that it was dog friendly and we were able to bring our pup. Our dog is a little weary of strangers, but as the tour continued, he got more comfortable and really liked hanging with Sal. Sal was so knowledgeable about Paso and wine. He gave us options along the way, his tour felt so laid back and didn't feel like it was on a strict time crunch. We also got to go off the grid to a winery that we wouldn't have driven to on our own and it was so cool! Lunch was great too! You can truly tell that Sal loves what he does. Would recommend and do again! read more

My husband and I were in the area from Illinois celebrating our 10th Anniversary and were so excited to see a Jeep tasting tour! My husband proposed in a jeep on top of 14,000 foot mountain, so anytime we can incorporate jeeping into our vacations it's a huge bonus! We had an amazing day with Sal as our guide! The drive in the jeep was so fun and the views were incredible! It was a gorgeous day and the wineries that he lined up for us were wonderful (Sculptera and Kiamie)! Sal also provided a yummy lunch and even lined up an olive oil tasting! We truly enjoyed our time with Sal and when we are able to get back to the area again, will definitely be back! If you are on the fence about this tour, just do it! I promise you won't regret it! Thanks Sal for an unforgettable day! read more

What a great day!!! Sal was a gracious host. He had our day planned but he customized his itinerary as he got to know us more. We got lucky that we were the only ones in the tour - so it felt like a private tour. This was our first time in Paso Robles and he provided an eclectic selection of wineries. He even added an olive oil tasting and brewery stop. He's a great conversationalist and knows the area well. He's knowledgeable about the wineries and the history of the town. Being in a jeep added a layer of adventure to the day. The route he took gave us a scenic view. The day was not hurried at all. Absolutely a gem!!! P.S. making the reservation was really easy. His price is all inclusive (besides the tip) with yummy lunch. read more

We were recommended Sal's Jeep Wine Tour by good friends of ours and managed to book a private jeep with only four days notice. We were completely blown away by the tour. There is no way we would have had an even remotely comparable experience if we had navigated Paso Robles on our own. Our guide Dave gave us an incredible personalized wine adventure. He listened to our feedback and took us to a curated selection of both East & West Side Paso Robles wineries. Needless to say, we purchased multiple bottles at every winery we visted! Dave also took us through the area's back country roads and gave us plenty of time to take pictures along the way. We truly could not have asked for a better Paso Robles experience. We will be recommending Sal's CCTA service to everyone we know, and we most definitely will be back. read more

Magdalene was above and beyond, best host we've ever had in Paso for any company. She was knowledgeable with the area and more importantly the wine, excellent service and sweet as can be. We are so grateful for having our Saturday with her and Central Coast, it was unforgettable. Thank you so much read more

Book this experience! It's such a nice and different type of experience and way to see Paso and go to smaller vineyards. Justin was our driver and he provided so much entertainment. We booked traditional car services before this and after and we're so glad we did this because it was just so unique. Will be doing this again when we come back to Paso. read more

This was anything but private and custom! We ended up going to the wineries he chose and not the ones I planned out. Furthermore, it was NOT PRIVATE!! There was another couple I was not expecting. I was hoping to visit 4-5 wineries but he said he only does 3. We spent wayyyy too much time at lunch at a ghetto winery and missed out big time on exploring the region. Next time, I will be sure to either drive myself or book a more upscale tour. Not impressed. Sal is nice, but I didn't pay for nice. read more

We were trying to find a wine tour, our hotel normally works with another company and thank goodness they were all booked, because we wouldn't have had the great experience that Central Coast Jeep Tours gave us. I had the best time, we were never rushed and we met great people along the way. Justin our driver/guide was very helpful, knowledgeable about the area, allowed me to play any music and created the best day to have in Paso Robles. I kind of didn't want to leave a great review, so I could keep this my little secret, but it wouldn't have be fair to Saul. Thank You Justin for the best time in Paso Robles, we started off Wine Tasting and ended with Lobster Mac & Cheese. I highly recommend using Central Coast Jeep Tours, you never know what you may experience, you might find that perfect vineyard or you just might get a Grandma flipping you the bird read more

This was awesome! We got picked up in an orange Jeep by our driver, Richard and taken on a tour of four wineries that we would have never found on our own. At two of these, the actual owner served us the tasting. The lunches they provided with our package were great and Richard was an incredible guide. After the wine tasting, he took us to Pasolivo for olive oil tasting. Since they partner with (meaning these wineries don't charge tasting fees for this tour) 35 wineries, you could go on this tour multiple times and never go to the same place twice. Can't wait to come back with a group of friends. read more

Taking a tour with CCTJA is on my must do list when I come to Paso. The jeeps are an awesome way to see Paso from a local's perspective as Sal and the boys give a great overview of the history, a day in the life today, and you get to meet their friends at choice wineries too! No two tours have been a like, They are always adding new partners and checking out new trails and proving an unbelievable experience each time! read more

We had such a great day with Sal. I highly recommend this tour to both novice, expert and all in between. We never would have had this experience on our own. We will definitely book with Sal again, and I know i'm the experience will be completely new every time! Thank you Sal!! read more

My friend & I just finished our day tour with Sal and I couldn't even get through dinner without wanting to pull out my phone and leave a review. Sal is an amazing man/tour guide. He accommodated us and all of our needs. He went above and beyond and added stops along the way between wineries because he wanted to make sure we fully enjoyed our experience (including an olive oil tasting which opened our mind to the different qualities of olive oil). We expected to enjoy our day, but this was an experience I wish I could do over & over & over again and forget each time so I'd enjoy it just as much as I did today. The included meal in the package was delicious & we even sat with him and enjoyed it while we picked each other's brains. He's very experienced & knowledgeable about Paso. You're the man Sal, thank you. read more

Sal was a wonderful tour guide and riding in the jeep was so fun! It was great to book a tour where tasting fees are included so we didn't have to worry about anything but having a good time on our trip. We packed our own lunch, although Sal offers a great deal with lunch included and next time we will definitely book the full tour. The best thing about this jeep tour is that it can be done again and again because Sal is partnered with so many wineries that you wouldn't ever need to repeat a visit unless you wanted to. The locations are chosen based on your likes and dislikes and it's completely catered to your group. My husband and I don't get to do many trips away from the kids, but we had a fabulous anniversary weekend and this jeep tour was definitely a highlight! Thanks so much, Sal! We will be back and tell our friends for sure. read more

We booked a last minute wine tour for our 3rd Wedding Anniversary, and to say that we had a wonderful time is an understatement, Justin was friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and professional, taking us to three less known wineries, and a pitstop for gin tasting, per our request over the course of the day. It truly was a remarkable experience that we would have not experienced if we would have booked ourselves. From the backroads to those Paso views, we will definitely be booking with this service again. My recommendation for anyone booking a tour, just provide a few of your interests and preference, and their team will take care of the rest. Until next time! read more

For a great experience, check out these guys for an exciting and rewarding day. Richard was outstanding - very personable and accommodating. He made our day thoroughly enjoyable, with lively chatter regarding local lore and history, exhibiting a great deal of patience while we enjoyed our tastings. We never had a sense of urgency, to cut our visits short, or to rush to another venue. We would definitely plan to do this again and wholeheartedly recommend that you consider this "rustic" way of touring this exceptional chunk of the Central Coast. read more

Our experience was definitely amazing! Our driver Richard came to our Airbnb and picked us up in this amazing classic Jeep. He had a great attitude and was super nice and funny. He was so patient with us and even brought two of the girls back to retrieve their ideas from our house when they noticed they left it at home. We were so appreciative. They took us to some amazing wineries and he was even our amazing photographer. Our lunch that was provided was absolutely delicious! Very yummy and we enjoyed it at one of the wineries while we had our wine tasting. We appreciate this company and for the knowledge that we learned. I highly recommend this company! Great service read more

Set up a last minute trip with Sal for my wedding anniversary. Sal was very accommodating and communication with him was great. We hashed out all of the details within one evening in time for the tour the next day. Randy was a great driver. Very knowledgeable and easy going. Very attentive and kept in tune with our pace and attention span at each stop. We stopped at a couple of wineries that were definitely off the beaten path. Lunch was fresh, simple, generous and tasty. If your looking for off roading in a Jeep, unfortunately you won't get much of that besides a few dirt roads near and there. But we were definitely the coolest couples to pull up to each tasting. Definitely recommend this service. read more

This was our first time wine tasting, and we are so happy we were able to spend the day with Sal. He was knowledgeable, personable and it really felt like we were spending the day with a good friend.

We are looking forward to coming back in the Spring, and will definitely call Sal. read more

I highly recommend these guys. We visit paso twice a year to pick up good wine with a reasonable price and each time we came home with cases of great wine. We love Richard. He is very knowledgable with wine and the area. He takes his time and listen. We told him we prefer smaller wineries. We like blends, Tempranillo and Charbono which is hard to find in SF. We came home with almost 5 cases of wine at the end of this trip. Richard has great sense of humor. We talked and laughed. By the end of the end we had so much fun and we can't wait to come back. It was an enjoyable trip. THANK YOU RICHARD. read more

After arriving in Atascadero and checking into the Carlton at about 10 PM, the front desk girl gave us a large stack of brochures. My new husband and I (on our honeymoon), immediately got excited to see the jeep tour. We were completely unfamiliar with the area and with wine tasting in general. I emailed Sal at about 10:30 hoping we could get in the next day (which was a Monday). He wrote me back within 15 minutes, and let me know he would make it happen because we were on our honeymoon. 10:30 AM on the dot Monday morning, he picked us up for an AMAZING day!!! The price was so reasonable and we couldn't help but buy a few bottles of wine. He took us off the grid, on some beautiful back roads through vineyards. Not only that but Sal gave us so much information on the area and wine in general. Not only was it a great way to be broken into the wine tasting world, but we would absolutely do it again simply for the fun ride and great adventure :) read more

THIS IS THE BEST WINE TOUR EVER!!! My husband and I were on our honeymoon in California and we decided to spend our last day in Paso Robles because we loved it so much from the beginning of the trip. We did our own wine tasting the first time we were there and visited some tasting rooms downtown (Grizzly Republic was our favorite), and while we were vineyard hopping, we saw this orange jeep tour a few times and it piqued our interest, so we decided to finally try it out on our last day! It was very reasonably priced at $109pp, with lunch and tastings at 4 wineries included! If you do the math, a tasting at 4 vineyards for 2 will run you about $80 if you don't buy a bottle, and then a $30 lunch on top of that and you're there already! Add in not having to worry about driving yourself down winding roads in unfamiliar territory after a few glasses of wine and we were sold! But it was so much more than that. We were lucky enough to have the owner, Sal, take us on a private custom tour on a Monday afternoon (this is absolutely the best day to go because the wineries aren't as crowded). He was so personable and genuine and shared all of his knowledge about the history of the region with us along the way. He got a feel for what kind of wine we liked and what experience we wanted and then absolutely exceeded our expectations. He was gracious, unpretentious, and completely invested in our experience. He was very clear that we were under no pressure to buy any bottles of wine (even though we ended up getting 4) and made our comfort and delight his first priority. At the very end of the trip he took us to an amazing olive oil tasting completely off the map and we learned so much from Greg at Kiler Ridge and got a bottle of the lemon and thyme olive oil to bring home with us. Amazing! We're going to tell all of our friends about this little gem and wanted to share it with all of you too! If you want a completely unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience, call Sal and he will not disappoint!! read more

Dear Sal, I can't tell you enough how much we enjoyed our jeep tour!! So friendly and entertaining :) We came in the during the week of the mid county fair 2015. The weather was a scorching 90+. It was my first time in wine country and I was with my friend who had gone before. So instead of driving around not knowing where to go, we found the jeep tour. It was perfect because we were able to go to some amazing wineries, 4 to be exact and an olive oil tasting which was the cherry on top! It was also a lot of sight seeing. Sal informed educated us about Paso Robles and the history. He took us through the back route and got to go a little bit Off-roading in the jeep. The price is worth it! Lunch is offered as well. read more

Our tour today with Richard was our best decision in Paso Robles!! I cannot express enough what a great experience this was! My husband and I are only in town for 2.5 days (plans got changed around), and the owner Sal was so gracious to squeeze us in as a last minute tour. Richard came to our house (air bnb) for pick up and drop off. This is a great service since you'll be drinking so much during the day! The open aired jeep was really cool, and there's a locked case in the back to carry any wine purchases plus your lunch and bottled water. You get to pick your lunch from a menu of salads and sandwiches. ((Food tasted great!)) Richard knew which wineries to visit based on our personal tastes. We went to 4 different wineries, plus a unique olive oil tasting as a last stop on the tour. We both learned a lot and the employees were so friendly at every location! Richard was so nice to talk to and made us feel very comfortable, welcomed, and safe. The tour is super flexible and very informative without being stuffy. We even got to do a little off-roading which was awesome! Thanks so much Richard and Sal-- y'all are wonderful! read more
