What a cute small batch winery! They only make about 3500 cases so definitely not mass produced. Glasses are about $25-35. I got their white blend and it's lovely on a nice day outside. The sommelier was also very kind and knowledgeable. read more

Sean makes wine tasting at Derby a great experience. Great information and extremely knowledgeable. Lovely seeing Nikki.

Derby Wine Estates has been on my list of places to try for a while. Every time I drive from Paso Robles to San Luis Obispo, I pass by this beautiful building, and I finally had the chance to stop in. One of the best parts? No reservation needed! I did a walk-in wine tasting, which made the experience so easy and enjoyable. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about their wines. I was especially impressed with their rosé, it was absolutely delicious! I loved it so much that I left with two bottles. The winery has a great atmosphere, with outdoor seating and cozy fire pits, as well as a lovely indoor tasting area. It's a great little spot to relax and enjoy some fantastic wine. If you've never been to Derby Wine Estates, I highly recommend stopping by to taste their wines and experience their hospitality! read more

Can't say enough about how much we thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting here at Derby. Both Emily and Danny were exceptional at making sure we knew exactly what was in each glass, and gave us invaluable information about the vineyards and what goes into their winemaking. On a cold and rainy morning it was nice to get a warm greeting as we were there right when they opened for the day. We settled in for the classic tasting, and came away with some delicious bottles. We were also able to taste their Viognier and Graciano from the reserve tasting, and are excited to share those with friends. Definitely a tasting room to put on your Paso Wine Trail map. read more

Derby Wine Estates - Beautiful Paso and Derby. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

One of our favorite winery in the heart of Paso Robles. We enjoyed Friday concerts here. You can buy a bottle, or wine by the glass and get a table under the shade to enjoy the music all night. Staffs there are always friendly and fun to chat with. Clean and roomy bathroom, and really good red and white wine with very reasonable price. It is easy to find where they are even from far away, just drive toward the tall pink tower (used to be a grain silo). read more

We had booked the patio for my daughter's bridal shower and they were super accommodating with the whole planning and reservation. The day of the shower it was raining and they kindly moved our party to their private indoor room for no extra cost. Not to mention the wines were amazing! read more

Just the best people and delicious wine. Nikki and the team are so much fun, so knowledgable, and beyond welcoming. My in-laws were visiting and we enjoyed the cheese and wine pairing in the tower which was fantastic with a killer view. Don't miss their tasting room on your wine tour. read more

Fast and friendly service. Small little patio area. A wonderful little stop if you want to do a walk in. Wine wise: wasn't a fan, but it's always nice to try at least once. Thanks! read more

My wife and I brought her two brothers and sisters-in-law with us to Derby, unannounced. We have been Derby members for many years, since we first tasted their Pinot Noir. Since then, we have always enjoyed their outstanding tasting experience. This trip was no different, as Sean treated us six like royalty. He not only let us taste anything that was open, which is always the benefit of membership, but he allowed our group to go up to the top of the tower with our purchased wines and have a no-host private party. This was all after we just dropped-in. There are many great wines and wineries in Paso, but the hospitality at Derby is the best of any of the numerous wine clubs that we have been in, past or present. read more

Had a wonderful time celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary with Sean as our host. Been wanting to try Derby for quite some time. Really happy that we opted for the special tasting in the tower upstairs. Sean kicked us off with the 2007 sparkling Pinot Noir and it was delicious. We were able to try 7 other wines and liked most of them. Sean made us feel very welcome, knows a ton about the wine and area and is such a nice guy with a good sense of humor. Thanks for helping to make our anniversary feel special! It's a beautiful winery and I highly recommend people to stop by and check it out. We're going to check out the music on Friday evening. Should be a good time!! read more

Nice place in town. It was playoff time so we were watching NFL game while tasting some of their wines. One of my favorites was their Rose. The server and the owner (that is what it seemed) were both very friendly. Its a short walk from downtown, so give them a try! read more

Super cute little tasting room, with a lot of great wine selections. We also loved Danny and the whole team that helped us with our tasting and purchase. There is an outdoor and indoor section for tastings. Unfortunately no food, but some cheeses and other snacks that you can get. Wine was good, not my favorite winery in Paso, but still we had some favorites in there. I think they focus most of their wines on the westside and have more coastal influences (Apparently West Vs. East is a thing in Paso). Overally super cute, great for a stop in for an afternoon tasting in the sun. Honestly we had a great time. read more

Wine is good. Super into their signature blends. They usually have a nice picpoul. The staff are friendly and always remember us, which is nice. Generally a relaxed atmosphere. read more

Derby has an in town tasting room and lounging area outside with lots of tables and seating. Nice area for a band creating a nice ambience and a great vibe for weekends sitting outside! The tasting room is fun and nicely decorated. The wines to me were average. Can't say that any one variety stood out. But remember everyone has a pallet and you may love thier wine! Cheers! read more

Thank you Sean and Danny for a wonderful time today! We chose this place because it fit our route back home and had great reviews. We had no idea what a gem this place is. Wine tasting is about the wine yes BUT its also about the experience. Sean and Danny make sure your experIence is unique and special. Favorites are 2010 Bouchée D'or and 2017 Graciano. read more

My husband and I used to come up and visit this winery when in town, or passing through over the last few years. Not sure what happened but its just not the same. It used to be very fun, welcoming, great staff, and a great experience. What a shame. read more

The wines are exceptional and reasonably priced. They seem to have all types of wine. So, no matter your palate, they have a wine for you. Their staff, most especially Dan and Ron, are personable and friendly. There's nothing pretentious about this place. Becoming a member was a no-brainer. Come to Derby and you'll be refreshingly surprised. read more

Derby wasn't on our list, but so glad we decided to stop here. The person who assisted us was so fun, friendly, and welcoming. The $10 tasting fee provided us 6 generous tastes in attractive wine glasses (tasting fee waived with a single purchase) -- and we were allowed to revisit wines, too! Very attractive, contemporary tasting room and quaint outside seating. The wines were reasonably priced. We left with: 2012 Pinot Noir, $38.00 2012 Fifteen 10 White, $24.00 Very fun and enjoyable experience!! read more

I am really happy that Derby got a real home instead of the trailer they previously had on Hwy 46. The tasting room was super slick, modern and very nice. We got there early on a Friday so we were the only ones there and had the tasting of their flight of wines. $10 tasting fee and waived with purchase. We picked up the 2011 Fifteen 10 which is a blend of five different wines and was excellent chilled. The price point is between $24 to $32 per bottle so not bad and the wines were all very good. read more

We went after hours to celebrate my friends birthday. There was a good band and no fee to get in. They had a bbq for purchase which was reasonably priced. The "Fifteen 10" wine white or red are both very good. They also have a rose which my friends all love. Ask about their wine club and special events. Everyone who works at Derby is so nice I always feel welcome. They made my friends birthday a success. read more

What a shame. They make such amazing wine but they've got a horrible wine ambassador named Danny who is bringing their rating down. This is a man who cannot even taste the wine he is pouring because of COVID and yet insists that COVID is a hoax and a conspiracy and made no attempt to hide such views from the clientele. We sent an email to the winery's management about him and it was clear that he was aware of it today when we visited and he told us we had to leave, using F-bombs and the like. Great wine, but spend your money nearby at Herman Story as their wine is orders of magnitude better and their staff would never, EVER treat us as rudely as we were treated today. read more

Loved it. Friendly pourer, nice location, and thoughtfully made wine. The Pinot Gris was particularly memorable and highly value driven.

Awesome Venue and great wine! Our host Danny was extremely knowledgeable about the wine, land and history of Derby! We were spoiled and given a tour of the building and took the elevator to the EE Lounge. Very classy and every Friday there is an event with food and music! Yes, we joined! read more

Excellent wines, excellent service. It's wonderful how passionate they are about their wine. We went on July 3rd and had a great time. We're more white drinkers, but we reaalllyyyy enjoyed their reds A LOT! Had to take some Manearer bottles to go. Highly recommend! read more

Went here for a holiday movie night and was not disappointed! The building is a beautifully restored storehouse built by the California Almond Growers Association back in the 1920's - a tasteful and historical art-deco, early-20th century California vibe pervades the site. Ask for Emily at the tasting room bar, she's the best! read more

Derby is an amazing winery! We came here yesterday and just came because we love the wine and the people that work here! Danny and Sean are both amazing employees! Today we were scheduled for a wine tour and ended up coming here again and they remembered us and took amazing care of us again! We definitely recommend this place and can't wait to come back again! read more

Love Derby! This was my 3rd time here. Each time I have been the people were friendly and wonderful. We were sad to miss their Winter party by one weekend. We ended up joining the wine club and can't wait for our first shipment. We had my children with us and unfortunately it was raining but there is great outdoor space for them to hang out. read more

Stopped here on the way to Pismo beach. I've always seen it off the freeway and finally had time to check it out. Really cute tasting room! Danny was very friendly and took us on a tour around the wine making rooms and gave us the education of the building, which was really cool! We bought 2 bottles.. tithe Espania Cab and a 2013 Implico blend which was really good too. Will definitely be back! read more

Tasting was awfully slow, only 2 tables and the guy was playing on his phone at the counter, spend 5 seconds to talk about the wine , 25 minutes between pours. I stand corrected, there were 3 guys at the counter. One of those places you don't go back ever again. read more

We did not plan to stop at the Derby winery but are glad that we did. Danny was fantastic since we arrived. He provided a full history of their wines and made great recommendations during the wine tasting. He also gave us a tour through their facilities. One of our favorite wines was their 2014 Man eater. We will order more bottles when we get home as they can ship out of state. read more

This place is amazing! Knowledgeable and friendly staff, yummy wine, and nice atmosphere.

This was an unexpected stop and they were such great host, the wines are very well priced and I'm in love with the Maneater Red!!! Highly recommend a visit here, Dan and Michelle were awesome, Michelle took us on a tour of the building and they have a fun bbq party Friday nights!!! read more

I've been to Derby now several times. After our recent trip last month and considering the many tasting rooms I've visited in the PR area Derby has become one of my favorites. Why? Friendly and knowledgeable staff - always, reasonable prices, and great wine. Probably one of the few wineries that haven't impulsively jacked up their prices since PR was voted wine region of the year in 2014. Yes, I noticed and thank you. Many red wines to choose from here both single varietal and blends. This is also a great stop if you like white wine, many available to taste and they're all good and about 20 something bucks. Something else unique about Derby is their three distinct vineyards. Compare and contrast tasting wine made from coastal vineyards, West Paso, and East Paso. Cool to hot climate. There are a lot of choices of places to visit in Paso. Good vibe here and an easy relaxing stop right off the 101. read more

Oh my goodness! What can I say except that "Mike" who was so kind to serve us, was so much more than "serving us"..What a very kind young gentleman! We were only going to stay there for 30 minutes max, however after talking to Mike, we decided to stay a much longer than we planned. What a gem! Mike knows his stuff and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the wines! Thank you Mike, we will be back.. read more
