It was our first time visiting Chamisal Vineyards and we had a great time. The vineyard is only 10 minutes away from the downtown area. We were also fortunate enough to get some nice sunny weather on our visit. The outdoor seating was perfect for the weather. It did get a little windy later in the afternoon so I suggest you bring a jacket just in case if it gets chilly. On top of the scenery the service was great as well. The host greeted us and sat us right away. We ordered the wine flight since this is our first time at this vineyard we wanted to try everything. The wine connoisseur was really friendly, did a great job explaining each wine and timed out each pour perfectly. My personal favorite was the Chardonnay. Next time we're visiting the area we'll certainly be back for another wine tasting. read more

A wonderful setting to appreciate great wines. I only wish we hadn't just eaten because the food looked fantastic! Our server curated a wonderful experience. read more

Decent winery. Initially, I booked a patio estate experience thinking the seatings were like the photos so was a bit surprised that the vineyard was on the smaller side with a few tables in door and a few seatings outside. Given the limited seating, I found it to be kind of misleading but my fault for assuming. We ended up ordering a bottle to share as we decided that we weren't going to stay for too long. The rose was good but hard for me to judge as I am not too expert with wine tasting. We got a cheeseboard which was $55 and decent? Service was also okay overall. Given their pricing being higher than other vineyards and it being on the smaller side, I would not personally return but loved the experience nonetheless. Great views and did like the atmosphere but would try other spots in area as there are so many. read more

We visited the winery again June 12th and our server, Julie, took great care of us even though there were scores of Cal poly graduation gatherings there that day. Thanks Julie! read more

Hi Chamisal, great time at the pick-up party. Not only are your wines are the best but the pick-up party was great fun....the new sparkling is outstanding and the Moritto Pinot is the best! Thank for for outstanding pick-up party, the pizza was wonderful and the flow of wine was great! So good to be a member. Thank you Julie and Jacob for an outstanding job! PS: The instrumentalist was a great touch! read more

After breakfast by the beach it was time for some wine! We made reservations and came to enjoy. They have a lovely outside seating area, right near the vines. Our host was great! She leaned what our pallets preferred and brought a few "bonus" tastings to match that. She was spot on with her direction, so much so that we ended up buying the bottles she directed us too! Was such a fun afternoon sipping wine and enjoy the view! read more

Winery has great location with vineyard view from the patio seating. Wines were ok. We had reservation in advance, and were offered a 5 seater for 2 people. We asked if we could sit on adjacent seat which was exactly same size and located right next to it, about 1-2 feet apart. Server said oh it already reserved for a bigger party and didn't let us sit there. About 30 min later, same seat was offered to 2 people. By their conversation it was clear that they were also visiting the winery for the first time, and didn't ask for specific seat as server asked them if this seat was ok for them. I was kinda pissed. read more

Service was excellent and the small bite plates were delicious. Wines we tasted were all excellent. Indoor tasting room came in handy during cold rainy day. read more

Fantastic wines. Fantastic venue. Fantastic service. I highly recommend their califa Chardonnay and Pinot noir. My girlfriends and I tried both their rosé flight and the estate flight. I'd skip the Rosé. Shoutout to Jacob for the help! read more

I can't say enough kind words about Chamisal! We came here one early afternoon on a Thursday with a prior reservation and loved it! The grounds are gorgeous and the tasting was a blast! Our sommelier was also kind, attentive, and so informative. She answered all of our questions and even suggested a dinner spot for us to try. We're well versed in wine (being so close to Napa Valley, we go there often) and we also love SLO wine! I have to say, the white wines DOMINATE in SLO! Be sure to try Chamisal's Chardonnays! I'm a chard girl myself and loved every drop! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Small tasting room. Pretty ambiance & view of the vines. $40 tasting fee is TOO HIGH for the experience and the setting. We are return customers & had a disappointing day. We already love their whites, made the mistake of purchasing two flights seated outside. We should have asked for a counter tasting - a couple glasses. It took sooo long ! We appreciate the history, the terroirs, the valley. The gentleman Tim served and did a great job for us, but he just didn't have any help with the 4 or 5 parties being served. We love their whites and Pinot. Will not come again to taste though. read more

Wonderful vineyard! Beautiful scenery and delicious wine! Such friendly staff! We also loved the cheese! Will definitely return! read more

3.5 Stars Several Flights to choose from: Estate Flight $35/person, Signature Reserve Flight $65/person, Anniversary Flight, and wines by the glass for $12 - $18. They also offer a couple different tasting room food bites. Small, rustic winery building with a large covered outdoor patio offering views of the vineyards. Cole poured for our group of nine, and was friendly. It was a busy afternoon and times between pours were a little slow, so allow yourself plenty of time for your visit. It was nice that they allowed us to bring in our own picnic lunch, but I would suggest calling ahead and making sure it's okay to do so. We shared several of the tasting flights and found a few wines that we enjoyed. We purchased a Pinot Noir and a couple bottles of Chardonnay, including a 2018. Unfortunately, after we had paid and they started putting the orders together, they discovered that they were out of the 2018, and we would have to accept a 2019 instead. They did offer to provide a refund, but due to time constraints we had to make do. Personally, it was an "okay" experience, but I wouldn't rush back. I think the wines are well made, and I always recommend that you give them a try for yourself, as palates vary so much. Might be a better experience if you can visit on a weekday. read more

Service is the WORST here. I keep going back to see if it's improved because their wind is excellent. I feel that the staff think their working in Napa and they can be arrogant and condescending to central cost folks. I'm done trying. This place is not worth the browbeating we get each time. One star just because the wine is quite nice. There's too many pools to swim in - don't need to be torn up by these sharks. read more

Great wine, but what makes this place 5 stars are the people. We were cycling Edna Valley and got a flat. We had the spare but were missing our pump. The manager Jacob rode us to the wine storage area to help. We were unsuccessful, but they went above and beyond normal hospitality. We eventually got a bike pump and all was well. read more

The most personalized, warm service provided by Tim in a tasting room that we've received in recent memory. Fabulous tasting at Chamisal!

Great place best chardonnay in Edna Valley. Jacob the manager was awsome. Make this your go to winery in SLO

We had such an amazing time with jacob!! He was so informative and friendly and made it an unforgettable experience. We will defiantly be back and tell our friends! read more

My wife and I joined their club last April in 2023 after belonging to another Edna Valley winery we weren't as thrilled on the wines on. Chamisal is definitely in the upper echelon of EV wineries when it comes to the quality of their wines, their space itself, and their staff. We always enjoy visiting their tasting room for member tastings & events and enjoy the aspect of their Malene brand Rose's being part of their operation. We also enjoy their cool climate pinot noir, greanche, and syrah to go along with their chardonnay and rose. Special shoutout to Tim who always is the most lively, friendly, and entertaining host in all of Edna Valley! read more

Gather on the green is amazing! Julie and Jacob are the best! Love the Chamisal team.

Dog friendly and outstanding wines. We love visiting whenever we are in town. Had an amazing time with their Chardonnay. I'm not a huge oaky Chardonnay fan but they make all kinds which are fantastic and something for everyone's palate! Also, love love love their Pinot!! Everything from the retail wine to their higher end Califa line. We bought a little of everything and look forward to our next visit! read more

I loved the open outdoor seating they had. It was a very relaxing wine tasting experience since we went on a warm, sunny afternoon. We had Devin (apologies if the spelling is incorrect) pour for us and she was great throughout our entire tasting. Very well spaced out between pours as we like to take our time with our tastings (relatively soon after we finished each wine). We didn't bring food but saw another party that brought a feast of a picnic to pair with their tastings which was fun. I also loved how they provided a map of the different areas where they grow their grapes. read more

Visited the Chamisal Vineyards during my 5 year anniversary trip. I am recently 21 and lack any knowledge of wine. I was scared for my first wine tasting because I did not want to be judged. However, I walked in and was immediately greeted with kindness. The girl who took me through the tasting was so sweet, constantly giving me all the information possible on each wine. The views were perfect and it was very peaceful. Other people were there just sitting and chatting. Hoping to bring my best friend next time. 10/10 recommend. read more

You have to get Gavin ! He was so knowledgeable and great service. Winery had Good views and great wine. Will come back if I can.

Had a great time with Alex. Love her humer and expertise...she made it easy to join the club...

Came for their Sunset Series on Thursday with wine and food truck and music on the patio from 5-7pm. Beautiful tasting room with a large outside patio with a panoramic view of the vineyards. The music was amazing, the food was smashburgers and tacos and chicken bowls--good balance to sipping wines. I was able to bring my dog (on a leash) and just chill on the patio and enjoy a beautiful sunset and rainbow before the flash storm. The next one is on October 17--definitely will come for that! read more

Another lovely day in Edna valley but an extra special visit to Chamisal winery. Jacob was more than willing to share his knowledge and passion for the wine of Chamisal vineyards. Such a great time, great views and the most delicious wines. Highly recommend stopping by this tasting room! read more

Wonderful service and wine! Lovely location and great place for a group! Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing wine and amazing service, make sure to request Jacob for your wine tasting! Close drive to SAN Luis Obispo after where you can check out the hot springs. read more

This winery is amazing. It was a beautiful, sunny day. We received a very nice welcome and our host seated us at a table. The service was impeccable. We ordered a couple of different tastings. One of my glasses was not right and without hesitation, they opened a new bottle for a fresh pour. My husband was beginning to feel slightly low blood sugar and they immediately brought over some apple juice and Welche's fruit snacks. They were courteous and very accommodating to our needs. Lastly, I had mentioned it was my birthday weekend and they sent us out with an unexpected gift, a mini serving board and cheese markers along with the bottle of wine we purchased. To my surprise, I did not notice they were in the bag until we returned to the parking lot! I have always loved Chamisal, but this was the icing on the cake! Thank you Chamisal for a wonderful birthday celebration! We'll be back read more

We had a 5-star experience at Chamisal last week! That was due to the excellent service we received from Jacob. He went above and beyond, accommodated our requests and, answered all of our questions. He is very knowledgeable about the vineyard and the entirety of Chamisal's selection of wines. In addition, the atmosphere and views of the vineyard from the patio are beautiful! I highly recommend a visit to this winery! You won't be disappointed! read more

Chamisal Vineyards - Tasting patio with a glass of sparkling wine - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

We visited Chamisal this afternoon for a wine tasting. We were greeted by Tim a gregarious host. We sat on comfy couches facing the Vineyard in glorious sunshine. We told Tim we would like to share a flight and he said that was not a problem. He personally brought out five different wines for us to taste. He spent time chatting with us and explained the different wines. He gave us plenty of time to sample and enjoy each one. They were all excellent. Tim turned what could have been a quick stop at a Vineyard into a delightful afternoon. I cannot recommend more highly to stop by if you are in the area. It was an excellent experience!! Thank you Tim!!! read more

This was our first time at a vineyard winery since we are not big wine drinkers! Gavin was awesome and very knowledgeable which made the experience better for us! The patio was clean and relaxing! We will be back! read more

I believe Chamisal is currently only taking reservations right now. We made reservations online on their website a few days before and were easily able to make a reservation for a Saturday morning. They have free parking right in front of the vineyard and you are greeted by the hostess when you arrive. Everyone here was extremely friendly and the service was exceptional. We arrived a few minutes late but no problem, they were able to get us seated within a few minutes. They have their tastings outdoors and the ambience is perfect. It is quiet, chilled, and the weather was perfect -- warm and sunny! We booked the Estate Patio experience and it came with 5 tastings. It included 3 pinot noirs and 2 chardonnays. Chamisal specializes in these two wines here on their vineyard. The wine was all amazing, and I loved the selection they provided. A table next to us opened a glass of rose so we were able to get a complimentary tasting of that too, which was nice. Our server Gemma checked on us frequently to make sure we were doing all right. The vineyard itself is very quaint, and the estate patio experience overlooks the beautiful vineyard. The vibe at Chamisal is pretty casual, but if you want to dress cute it's up to you! :) The estate itself is compact as it is a smaller vineyard. Chamisal prices their tastings at $30 which is significantly higher than nearby vineyards which are only around $20/25. However, you can waive one tasting if you buy 2 bottles of wine. read more
