Wouldn't say this is the prettiest vineyard especially with all the vineyards nearby offering beautiful ambiance but this one does the job in the city center of cambria. The tasting was on the expensive side but the person helping us w the tasting was really nice and friendly. The inside of the shop is pretty small but cozy. They offer four wines for tasting at $20 without tip or tax. We had a decent experience here. read more

Great location. The staff were amazingly knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. Excellent wine, but the cheese was truly spectacular! read more

Cutruzzola Vineyards - Beautiful wine and cheese! - Wineries Near Me - Cambria, California

The husband and I had a nice visit to Cutruzzola's tasting room in Cambria when we were in town a while back. Had extremely friendly service from start to finish. Enjoyed their little outdoor area on a sunny day. Lots of Pinot Noir options to taste, which was right up our alley! read more

We were the first people here on a Thursday. The lady that helped us was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tables were next to the building and in the shade. The wine was very nice, but did not warm up while we were in the shade. I really enjoyed their riesling! read more

Dirk (owner & winemaker) of Absolution Cellars in Morro Bay brought my husband and I here this past weekend. We knew we were going to be in for some delicious wine because winemakers ALWAYS know the good places to go, but what we didn't know was we were going to receive amazing customer service along with fun wine education that we loved! Reyna was the most amazing host and she was so knowledgeable about each wine! I loved that she was willing to teach us about their delicious riesling and pinor noirs (but she was also willing to not over talk had we been the type to want to sit by ourselves)! I learned alot from Reyna! Their Riesling was the best I've ever had! So good, very well balanced and only a little sweet. Their chardonnay was not oakey, which made it delicious for me! 1 pinot was "lighter" while the other was more full bodied. Both were absolutely delicious! My pinot loving husband bought the fuller bodied pinot because it was so delicious. The zinfandel was amazing and not jammy which we prefer! We were fortunate to do the cheese pairing and they use cheese from Viviant cheese in paso robles which made me so happy! And they sell the cheese too! We left with 2 bottles of wine and cheese and can't wait to go back!! Always trust another winemakers recommendation, they know where the good wines are!! read more

A very unassuming location in town that was highly recommended by the central coast wine critic Stephen McConnell. The tasting was a pleasant surprise and our server whose name i believe was Mary did an exceptional job considering that at that time still operating under COVID restraints. read more

Cutruzzola was a last-minute addition to a wine trip to Paso Robles that required an hour-long detour out of our way. It was definitely worth the trip. They value Riesling, which is something that's sadly rare to see these days in the US. The Rieslings that we tried were relatively dry, though not bone-dry, and had some lovely honeysuckle notes and solid complexity. Their Pinots were also a highlight. If you think you've tried every Pinot along the California coast, come here to see a different expression from a unique coastal vineyard. It was a really neat experience to have several different years of the same grapes from the same vineyard in the same tasting so that you can directly compare vintages. The friendly folks running the place were great guides and answered all of our questions in detail. This is a place that's worth the drive from Paso or the stop along the 1 if you're a fan of Pinot or Riesling. Note though that the tasting area is pretty small, so best to make sure you reserve or call ahead. read more

Have been here many times and is a really nice place to stop for some wine and friendly atmosphere. Cutruzzola Vineyards focuses on Riesling and Pinot Noir. Each has their own unique and delicious flavors and always fun to taste the different years wines next to each other to in a mini vertical tasting. The tasting room is well put together but does not have that sterile feel. Would be fun to be there for a wine dinner. Be sure to say hi to Karen, and interested to hear your thoughts on the wine. Cheers. read more

Cutruzzola Vineyards - Wine tasting!! - Wineries Near Me - Cambria, California

On our recent trip to Cambria we stopped in at Cuteuzzola Vineyards tasting room. We didn't have a reservation but our server seated us anyway. We tried several Pinot Noirs from different years but the same vineyard. Interesting the subtle difference weather makes on grapes! We left with two bottles and will visit again! read more

Wow! So thankful for a winery that focuses on just a couple wines to master the taste. Cutruzzola offers Rieslings and Pinot Noirs (and one Zin) to meet the needs of your tastebuds. Mari, who you will meet at the counter, supplies a wealth of knowledge and truly enjoys serving wines to wine lovers. Immediately after tasting our first flight, we became members. Because let's be honest: Frank knows which wines makes wine lovers happy. read more

This is one of our favorite tasting rooms in Cambria! Very delicious wines and such friendly staff. Our dogs love hanging out in the tasting room while we sip and taste cheese. read more

Cutruzzola was the first winery I stopped into in Cambria, and so glad I did. Reyna was so friendly and knowledgeable, and the tasting room has a laid-back welcoming vibe. Best of all the wines were excellent. Hard to decide, but I bought a bottle of the 2014 Riesling Estate - really incredible, and the 2013 Pinot Noir Estate Gloria - wow. As an added bonus, on the way out, spotted 2 deer in the hills behind the shop! read more

Cutruzzola Vineyards - Nice place to enjoy some great wine - Wineries Near Me - Cambria, California

My wife and I just opened a bottle of 2014 Giacomino Reserve Pinot Noir Bottle 16 for our Christmas Eve dinner last night. What a wonderful wine. Was convinced to buy it by the young lady who works at the tasting room. Thank you so much. It was so good that we wondered how much longer it would have aged well. Again a truly wonderful wine. Easily a 5 star experience. read more

This vineyard makes rieslings and Pinot noirs - if you like those varieties then this is a good stop for you - if you're lucky they may have a few additional bottles depending on case count and if people are interested in buying. Friendly staff, clean spacious tasting room. You also have the option to sit while you taste! read more

Nice wines, great wine host queen Raina. Enjoyed the conversation and wines, plus learned all about the fundraiser coming up for our furry critter friends. read more

My husband and I randomly stopped in here when we were on a trip and I am so glad we did! We met Reyna, who was our sommelier, and she was just fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable and nice, we had many laughs. I am very particular about my wines and have never liked every wine that was part of a flight or tasting. This wine was outstanding, every one!!! I became a Wine Club Member with them because their wines are just excellent with so much flavor, very smooth and creamy. I didn't get "cat tongue" on any of their wines. ("Cat Tongue" is a term my family uses when you drink wine and feels like it sucks all the moisture out from your mouth, just dries it up). Can't wait for my first batch of wines to be delivered. We even got a nice postcard in the mail from Reyna when we got home. read more

Cutruzzola Vineyards - All of these wines were fantastic! - Wineries Near Me - Cambria, California

Discovered Cutruzzola's wines at the SLO film festival. Came to the tasting room in Cambria and Reina provided us with great hospitality. Because of the coastal climate they produce delicious Riesling and Pinot Noir. I'm not usually a fan of Riesling however theirs were very drinkable, not overly sweet. However, I am a big fan of Pinot Noir and the three that they had on the tasting menu did not disappoint. read more

This place was tons of fun. Super laid-back tasting room, that, incidentally, also had *parking*, which they were happy to let us use while we explored the rest of Cambria and took a walk down the beach, which was super cool of them. The wine was great, too - especially their Riesling, which they're famous for. They actually had two different Rieslings when we were there - a dry one and a sweeter one. Normally I'm all about the dessert Riesling, but I like those really in-your-face - I felt their "sweet" Riesling was a bit too subtle, while interestingly, I felt the dry one had the illusion of actually being sweeter - it had less sugar, but more *flavor*. If I didn't already have too much wine back home, I might well have grabbed a bottle of that - it was some of the best dry Riesling I've had. (Often I feel like dry Rieslings are a bit too bitter, but this was absolutely not. It was gorgeous.) The rest of their wine was great, too, and as I said, it was a super laid-back place. Also bonus: when we were there, they had some samples out of some of the best beef jerky we'd ever had. read more

My husband & I weren't planning on wine tasting, we just wanted to buy a bottle of white wine. After seeing the cozy space & talking w/ the staff, we couldn't resist doing a tasting. The wines were exceptional, warm, modern space & knowledgeable staff. DONT PASS UP! read more

Cutruzzola Vineyards - Tasting room - Wineries Near Me - Cambria, California

I had previously tried their Pinot Noir at Fermentations Tasting Room last year and thought it was great. When I returned to town, I went back there looking for it. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they had opened their own tasting room. It's bright, cute and quaint. It's a tad separated from the other shops in the area, but shouldn't be passed up when you come into town! read more

All the way at the North (West) end of Main Street, Cutruzzola's opened in 2015 I was told. Just a tasting room as the winery is in a different location. They have one communal table so we shared it with some other folks who were there. We got a coupon for free wine tasting for two people as part of our Cambria Pines Lodge package but we were disappointed that it only included 2 small tastes per person. Usually, you get at about 4-6 tastings at the other wine places in the area. If the coupon had mentioned that we probably would have not journeyed to the end of town. read more

It was a pleasure meeting Karen at Cutruzzola's today. She has a wealth of information about the wine industry. We enjoyed the wine tasting! I went there to purchase Chardonnay and ended up purchasing the 2014 Riesling Estate wine. I agree with the 92 points rating! Thank you very much Karen!!! read more

Small location in town set apart from the actual vineyard. $8 tasting with 5 different wines but very small pours. Small as in two sips. The $8 is waived if you buy two bottles. Honestly, it would be better if it was with a purchase of a bottle since bottles range from 28 to mid 30s. Only 1 person working the counter when we arrived which was fine until 4 parties arrived at the same time. There were some good wines but if I'm doing a tasting then I would like to be offered water to rinse/drink before my next taste. She merely poured the next sip into the same glass mixing white into the red and then when I wanted to taste the Riesling again she just poured it into the glass with residual red so it became a rose. Charge a little more, pour a little more so I can actually taste the wines and don't just mixed them all in the same glass read more

We were here in July of 2018 and had an amazing tasting. The Riesling and Pinot were both super good. We had an issue with an old cork and the business made it right immediately even driving to our hotel to switch us out bottles. I would recommend this business for anyone interested in good wine. read more

Their whites demonstrated good varietal characteristics. Their reds were faithful to the grapes. These are good drinkable wines at a proper market price, although better wines at much better price points can be found in Paso, but that is about a hour drive. We bought their whites. read more

Yesterday I visited Cutruzzola and I highly recommend you visit when you are in the area. They have a bright and cheery tasting room that is tastefully decorated and located immediately off Hwy 1 and Moonstone Drive. I enjoyed the Riesling..not your mother's Riesling, it has excellent structure and one of the two that they craft is dry, the other has a hint of sweetness. I could see that it would pair well with spicy food or on its own on a hot summer day. Karen who was behind the bar was very kind and shared a lot of interesting information about the wines, winery and owners. Another wine I especially enjoyed is their Zinfandel, it has great structure, is balanced, had nice flavors yet is more subtle than the huge Zins you find in Paso. It came across to me as a more European style wine. Very easy to enjoy on its own or with a meal. I left after they closed and about 15 minutes from the tasting room I realized that I had forgotten to purchase the wine flavored beef jerky. It was heavenly! I'll just have to go back as soon as possible...works for me! read more

We tasted with Reyna today and she was fantastic!! She was very knowledgeable about the wines as well as kind and friendly. The wines were so delicious, we ended up buying several bottles. We also enjoyed local cheeses and salami with our tasting! I definitely recommend this place and I will also be returning. read more

What a fantastic find! Great ambiance, a warm, knowledgeable and friendly staff and beautiful wines. As a Paso gal, truthfully, I am more accustomed to tasting through locally grown Zins and Rhone varietals. Cutruzzola's coastal Rieslings and Pinot Noir are eloquent and absolutely FABULOUS! This is a "must" stop! read more

I have been looking for a long time for a good California Riesling. After many tries, I have started thinking that 'good California Riesling' is a white unicorn - until I have tasted Rielsings from Cutruzzola. Amazing quality. I guess it is helped by being so close to the ocean. Pinot Noir has been also very good. Great tasting room - well worth visiting. read more

It's a quadruple delight with 5 stars: great wine, lovely setting, sincere hospitality and knowledge of wines by Karen. She encouraged me to try wines I don't usually favor (Rieslings) and turned me around to loving them. The Pinot Noir was another bell-ringer for me. It's the go-to-place for wine tasting, uplighting decor and new friendships. read more

All the wine was good, as far as I could tell. The overall experience was rushed and uncomfortable. I know this has already been mentioned in at least one review but the pours are tiny. I'm not looking for a glass of wine but seriously? I'm looking to taste your wine, see what I like, and maybe purchase a bottle or at least like it enough to tell others about it and revisit the tasting room. We were in and out within 5 minutes. On the other hand, Hearst Ranch Winery is a short drive away and it was a great experience and we left with a bottle. read more

Riesling! I know most wine snobs look down on this wine and people who make it, but I love it. All of their wine was great, and so was their service. Definitely worth a stop while on the 1! read more

What a wonderful experience. The winemakers clearly love what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the business. Immediately inviting, bright and relaxing. Beautiful photographs bring the vineyard to the tasting room, and the light that shines through the sign above the spacious and inviting bar paints the Cutruzzola signature in light and shadow. Each feature underscores the quality, caring and pure passion that is best represented in their wine - particularly the winning Pinot Noir. Great wine, great atmosphere - and great people. read more

Really great wine! Loved the atmosphere of the tasting room. A good place to stop by when staying in or traveling through Cambria.
