I am going to try my best to write a balanced review, because #1 we love Justin Wines and are…read moremembers of the Wine Society, and #2 overall we had a good stay and staff were friendly. If there were a 3.5 stars, I'd do that. We were in the Isosceles Suite, which is lovely. You are greeted with a bottle of wine which is also lovely. In addition, you supposedly get a free tasting at your meal (more on that later). FYI - each special thing that you receive is a one-time only - regardless of how many nights you stay. That includes the cheese plate, which we devoured on Sunday night because the restaurant was not open. Since we were also there the next night with no restauant, it would have been thoughtful and appropriate for the Inn to supply a cheese plate again. The woman who took care of our room was very helpful and pleasant. The bedroom was comfortable and the beds were good. The bathroom was spacious, but the large and oddly shaped tub was just plain awkward and a bit dangerous. The shower was such that you had to stand in a very narrow spot (I wish I had taken a photo of this) and the soap and shampoo and conditioner were all in very heavy ceramic jars with wide mouth lids. If you dropped one of those on your feet? Trust me, I made sure I didn't. Also, the water got into the jars despite trying to avoid that (sorry for nitpicking here but a room that goes for $720 a night should be perfect). Few outlets near the bed, although they are sprinkled around the room and very poor wifi. Breakfast. You had better not be fussy. The chef makes some wonderful dishes for breakfast, but there are no options, not even a side of toast. For example, I had a delicious chorizo omelet, but it was on top of avocado toast, which I dislike. The side of fruit and yogurt was the only option. The first morning we had a very tasty small quiche along with the fruit and yogurt and OJ. Again, no toast, bread, etc. By the second day we knew enough to bring back some baked goods from town. That shouldn't be necessary. I know others have criticized the kitchen but we didn't use it except for coffee. If you stay on any of the 4 nights that the restaurant is not open, be certain that you bring food from town or are prepared for a very dark and windy road back to the Inn - if you go out to a restaurant. On Sunday, we ordered extra food from lunch, only to discover that what we ordered (the flatbread) was so greasy we threw it out and we ended up devouring the cheese plate which was pretty small for 3 people. We happened to visit when the area was having major rain storms. Our bad. When we left in pouring rain it seemed fine, however returning (thankfully before dark) we found a tree that had fallen and was blocking the road that led to the Inn. No cell service, no wifi - the navigation system thus not helpful - and only because I remembered seeing some small roads on a map did we (with luck and no further fallen trees) get back to the Inn coming from the other direction. The staff told us the next day that they were shocked we had gone out in the morning, but no one thought to call to see if we got back at night. No one was staffing the Inn. Regarding the "free" tasting that you get at the restaurant. It is free if you do the non-reserve tasting. If you choose the reserve tasting, and I would guess that most Wine Society members would indeed do that, then you are charged the full $80 per person. If the $40 tasting is free, then shouldn't the $80 tasting be $40???? It not only makes no sense, it is a bit insulting. Based on the excellent wines we'vepurchased from Justin over many, many years, I would have expected to leave a 5 star review plain and simple. I will admit that all three of us were a bit disappointed. Small things can make a real difference. Love the wines (most), but the Inn, not so much.

Martin who is the owner and purchased this vineyard in 2005, he built this winery literally from the ground up. He is a native from New Zealand and brought the Kiwi culture into this unique winery which is 1 of 300 wineries in Paso Robles. Julia was very helpful & kind, and an excellent wine pourer. I purchased the 2023 Kapua (white blend) for $36 and a short sleeved t shirt for $26. This being our first stop on our "Wine Line" tour was worth the views and ambience, great tasting and full of the Kia Ora spirit!

I'm looking forward to returning there the next time we are in Paso Robles.

Some have Romeo and Juliet balconies the rest have sitting balconies all overlooking the vineyard. The property is located in the rolling hills not far from the main road but tucked away enough to feel away from it all. The price point for the rooms is below the value received. There is not a restaurant on site, but they do provide a daily delicious breakfast in an indoor lovely setting that was included. They offer an extensive Sunday brunch for $39.00. Parking is sufficient for the number of suites and an EV charger is located in 2 stalls. The staff is accommodating. Allegretto vineyard and winery is just down the way with a lovely upscale restaurant if you don't want to go downtown which is 11 minutes away with a plethora of choices for dining and shopping. Can't wait to return to this gem. I did have a problem with booking through a third party service, so I would suggest booking directly to ensure your room is available.

My boyfriend and I came to Calipaso Winery for what was supposed to be a relaxing weekend getaway,…read moreand it has honestly been such a disappointing experience. When we checked in and got to our room, the property felt completely empty. We were the only guests we could see, which made the whole place feel eerie and uncomfortable. We walked around the entire property and saw no one. There were only three cars in the parking lot, including ours and the front desk employee's car, yet we were told they were "fully booked" when we asked about moving to a larger room. The room itself was not great. The bed is extremely hard and squeaks with every movement. On top of that, the AC does not work. We told the front desk before leaving for dinner about the AC and were told someone would come fix it. When we returned, the room was even hotter than before & it felt like walking into a sauna. The windows don't open, so the only way to get air in is by opening the doors, which obviously lets bugs in. The "free wine tasting" was also frustrating. At check-in, we were told that we would get complimentary tastings at the tasting room. When we went to the tasting room, we were told they were "too busy" for tastings and that we would need to buy glasses of wine instead. We didn't want to make a scene, so we ended up purchasing a bottle and a glass, which came out to $85 & we never received the tastings we were told were included with our stay. Overall, this has been a terrible experience. Between the uncomfortable room, broken AC, lack of guests/staff on the property, and being denied the complimentary tasting we were promised, I would not recommend staying here. Do not let the 4.6 rating fool you.

This is my first 1 star review to ever write. This gets interesting, so if interested read on…read more We attempted to book a birthday celebration for my wife and what should have been an exciting experience turned into one of the worst interactions I've ever had with a restaurant and management.  We were planning a party for 10 adults and 10 children and were shocked when the event coordinator quoted us an outrageous $30,000. Putting aside the price itself, the far bigger issue was how incredibly rude and dismissive she was toward my wife during the conversation. After we expressed concerns, we were referred to the General Manager. I emailed the GM and heard absolutely nothing for over a week despite leaving multiple voicemails. After trying a third time, I finally received a return phone call. I was told my email was never received. We explained how poorly the event coordinator treated us and that we had specifically been directed to management. Initially, the GM seemed understanding. She spoke about how small the kitchen is and how larger parties can impact other guests' experiences. She said she'd try to help, recommend alternative venues if needed, and asked me to email details again. I thought we were finally making progress. Then things somehow got worse. After sending the email, I received what was obviously an accidental phone call. During the call, the GM appeared to be speaking with a colleague and was talking negatively about me for absolutely no reason. I heard comments about how she receives lots of emails and assumes many are spam until someone sends a second email, and that she handles voicemails similarly. Hearing that level of disregard for guests regardless of how serious or beneficial the inquiry might be for the business was honestly shocking. At that point, any chance of earning our business disappeared. Even if I receive an apology, I will never spend a dollar at this establishment. The ownership seriously needs to evaluate the management team because I've never felt so disrespected by a restaurant in my life. Extremely disappointing experience from start to finish. Unfortunately can't say anything about the food and never will.
