We recently visited this tasting room and came away with mixed feelings. The setting is definitely…read morenice. The views are beautiful, and depending on where you're seated, you can either enjoy the harbor scenery or spend some time people-watching. The artwork on the wine labels is stunning and adds a unique touch to the experience. I also appreciated the stories behind the wine names, the focus on small-batch production, and especially the charity bottle program. It's clear that a lot of thought and passion go into the brand. As for the wines themselves, they just weren't a fit for my palate, particularly at the price point. I recognize that wine preferences are highly personal, and there were others around the tasting room who seemed to enjoy them much more than I did. I also felt that the tasting experience could have been more engaging. Our server was pleasant not the most engaging, we felt like we were bothering her. Overall, I appreciated the creativity, mission, and atmosphere, even though the wines and tasting experience didn't quite resonate with me.

Such a nice little place for wine tasting. They have several areas to sit.

I think what makes this place special is that there's a story behind each bottle of wine and unique label by an artist to go with the story. It was hard to choose between the wines we liked and the art on the bottles lol. But they did say you can have any art label put on the bottle you wanted, but to is the story wouldn't match. In the end we got wines we liked and the art we wanted. Definitely coming back!

Parking wasn't too bad. We were seated right away after checking in. Being seated to the view of the ocean and the sound of waves just made the experience so relaxing and beautiful. There was a staff member who took our order for food from the nearby cafe, and then another staff member would make her rounds to go over each wine tasting. The ocean view tasting was amazing, service was great, food is good with great presentation, and wine was good. My husband and I had a wonderful time and would recommend this for a solid wine tasting experience especially if you are hungry!

I normally don't post on Yelp as I am pretty low key on minor issues but I feel this must come to…read morepatrons attention. We attended a twighlight concert series on a Friday evening. The staff was great,escorted us to our reserved seating. Concert venue was great, food vendor was great, enjoyed their wines. The main issue we encountered was there was two 70 year old women dancing on the new outdoor pavilion area. The capacity was at approximately 25 people seated at this particular area. People were enjoying their concert and partaking in the festivities and musical band who were enticing the patrons to enjoy themselves and engage in dancing to the groove. A lady who was seated under the covered area got up in an aggressive manner and confronted the two older patrons to stop dancing and go up to the front area near the band and barn type cellar to dance. Weird and out of character. The lady (later determined to be the owner) went inside and complained to the manager about the issue and was visibly upset. She asked him to address the issue to the patrons about dancing on the hillside pavilion floor. Please note the pavilion is designed as an entertainment center for 150 people per chat GTP. Two people dancing which grew to 15 people later danced upon the area and were confronted by the manager to refrain and move forward off of the pavilion to dance in a dirt area in front of the tasting room. Crazy that you can physically walk, talk, eat, drink, and sit in the pavilion area but two 70 year old women can't dance there? If there was any type of structural issues with the pavilion; would it be earthquake safe? Is there a structural issue that is not addressed? I see no Fire Department maximum occupancy of persons signs posted, no dancing permitted signs, or anything to construe that the structure wasn't safe for someone to dance upon. I don't think I will be returning there as the poor respect by the owner to patrons lacks professionalism. The vibe was crushed. I'm sad it ruined the customers day.

The grounds are amazing and the best part was seeing a ton of peacocks roaming around. Unfortunately, on my visit none of them were fanning their feathers. Hopefully next time! They also have an Air BnB on site that you can stay at. It looked really nice! There's plenty of seating in the courtyard area and you're allowed to bring your own food. We just came for a flight tasting, which is only $20 here. The nice part about the flight is that you also have the option to try ciders. They give you casino like chips here to use for each tasting. Great way to keep track! The reason for the three star rating is the lack of customer service. When I go to a winery, I expect the person pouring the wine to explain each one that I'm tasting. There was no explanation at all. Maybe I should of asked, but it was odd for a winery not to do that. The gentleman that poured didn't look too happy to be there either. I cringed each time I had to walk up to get my next pour. He barely said two words to me and I just got the feeling he was mad or upset about something. I wish I would have gotten his name! The girl that helped in the beginning was kind, but she also never explained each pour. Just a weird interaction overall. Would I return here? Yes! I loved the grounds and the peacocks. The wine was decent and I would like to try the ciders next time, but I'll probably go inside the store where they were also pouring wines. Hopefully they know what they're doing! Overall, a great spot to check out and next time I will make it a point to ask for a description of each pour even though I shouldn't have to.

I'm sure you've heard of and tasted many of their items. Today it's wine with lunch. I picked up six for an anniversary celebration. This group forced me to sit and enjoy lunch with them. I was told by the "wonderful owner (a few years back) that this property is the only winery and restaurant in the country with a Michelin Star. I know it's difficult to obtain, I'm not sure how long that star lasts either. 90% percent of the dining is done on the patio surrounding the main room Our server Carley, she was pleasant and tolerated the guests (us) she served. Now the menu is short and expensive, more places & restaurants seem to going in that direction. I really wanted the tomahawk pork chop but I settled with the spring salad and a small portion of King Salmon. Justin's is known for their Burger and a side of truffle fries will put you back a bit. if you have to ask.... The wine was brought out one white and one red. I don't drink but both flavors were applauded. I ordered a bottle of sparkling water. The stories flowed, I didn't really know these folks, they were good AG people from Bakersfield. So we got acquainted, the most annoying thing were the flies. They had those table top fly spinners but on another table so that didn't help us much. The food was delicious, no question although the pasta dish with chicken for L had a very long and dark hair on it you really couldn't miss it. Other than that excitement we all enjoyed our meal. I had a couple slices of the pork, not as tender as I would have thought but it tasted real good. Salad a tad small but flavorful. I missed out on dessert, the wine was enough. Overall a very nice setting with a casual pace, perfect for those special occasions. Reservations on line a must So another free lunch, they do happen occasionally, cash is preferred but hey I'm not complaining, I'll keep that to myself. Thanks Foodguy-Martin

This is at best a mediocre winery with OK views. If it's on your way you can go (I will not),but…read morenot something to be planned . There are way better wineries in Paso like Daou and Sculpterra. The people there care for your experience and every wine you taste is great and doesn't change with every sip. This place mostly was focused on extracting money. I went there because they were recommended by so many friends to me. That's probably where they are lucky. That's why people visit them and because they are so hyped the person visiting has to also like them. The employees here are not motivated enough to be nice or attend the guests properly during the end of the day. The lady on the front desk in front of the entry was super rude. In a 3 mins conversation she mentioned at least 4 times how they were about to close and they are unable to provide us anything except the wine tasting. We had an appointment for 3:30 and the winery closes at 5:00. I would have understood if it was 4:30. I was celebrating my birthday and I mentioned it. It literally meant nothing to her and she never mentioned it in her notes while she mentioned that they will do a chocolate flight with a candle. The guy who helped us with our wine tasting was good but visibly tired. He tried his best. Even arranged a charcuterie board for us. He did mention they were about to close but that made sense. He was genuinely happy to see us when we went inside to pay. The only good deed done to us was asking us if we needed waters for the road. Also I liked the breezy fan feature. The wines are not very appealing. A lot better can be done with the taste,recipes and fermentation process. The prices are very high for the experience and the wines. Next day we went to another winery with Amazing views. They were so welcoming and warm and the moment I mentioned I was celebrating my birthday they were extra pampering. There wine flights were appropriately priced.Every wine we tasted was great and even after my wine purchase I did not feel robbed.That was some unforgettable experience. At Justin our experience was DULL and TIRING and not good at all. I am never going to recommend Justin to anyone. PS- Don't go there because people are mentioning it the moment they hear Paso Robles. There wines are no better than the wines you get at the medium shelf of the drugstore. Views are just OK. Use your money at a better winery.
