The tour was lovely. Our tour guide was fantastic. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour would have been a five star but we only went to two vineyards and one tasting room downtown. The transportation was an 11 person van and was just the perfect size group for a wine tour. I was hoping for at least four stops. read more

So Janet and I took a Vineyard tour with Grapeline in Paso Robles and Michael was our tour host and he did an exceptional job! He's very knowledgeable about the Paso Robles Vineyards and took us to four wineries where we enjoyed the wine the lunch and the company we were with. It was nice to be on the other side of the counter for me and truly enjoyed the whole experience! Cheers read more

had a blast! Michael was a great guide! will definitely recommend to friends and family. I will be coming back soon for another tour! read more

The best wine tasting shuttle experience! Years back we used Grapeline in Temecula and had a lot of fun. So, for our first trip to Paso, Grapeline was a no brainer. Micheal, our guide, was AWESOME! He arrived at our hotel a few minutes ahead of schedule and politely introduced himself. Surprise....we were the only 2 guests on the shuttle that day! Apparently, others cancelled at the last minute or something. It was a big, plush shuttle with comfortable seats and air conditioning. Michael gave us a printed itinerary with 3 wineries plus lunch scheduled. We went to Whalebone, Croad and Shale Oak. Enjoyed lunch at the gorgeous outdoor patio of Croad. Micheal treated us great! He was right there with local knowledge and wine info. but also gave us private time and space at each tasting room. He was happy to take a few pictures for us. He even recommended local activities and restaurants. It was a perfect experience for our 15th wedding anniversary. I love that we were taken to small wineries and not the typical, hugely marketed wineries! Our tasting tour was on a Thursday so all the tasting rooms were pretty quiet, making the experience even more relaxing. We saw wild turkeys and deer on the shuttle ride up to the vineyards. Coincidentally, the following night, we ran into Michael at one of the local restaurants (he recommended it to us). He was still just as friendly, cordial and even treated us to a glass of wine for our anniversary! I mean, come on, it was just too perfect! Grapeline is the best! You'd be an idiot to go with any other line. read more

I initially booked this tour because I thought it was a great value (all tasting fees are included), but was pleasantly surprised by the A+ service and overall experience that I received. Our tour guide was Fritz, who is friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. The included lunch sandwiches were super tasty (I wasn't expecting them to be great, tbh, but they were!) and from Red Scooter Deli in town. Here's the 4 wineries we visited: 1. Derby. It's in the historic Blue Diamond Almond building, and there is a neat tower where you can see 360 degree views of Paso Robles. The vineyards are not onsite, so this winery was less pretty in my opinion. But the wines are excellent. 2. Croad. The owner is from New Zealand, charming, and was there to chat with us. There was a cat, which I loved! The winery is beautiful with vineyards and flowers and fountains- take lots of pictures. There are tables here to picnic, and this was where we ate our lunch. This winery reminded me most of Napa and I really loved it. 3. Midnight Cellars. The wines here were also delicious. Smaller and less grand than Croad, but there are vineyards and flowers. Another vineyard cat that was super fat and friendly. 4. Doce Robles. They poured us a lot of wine here, about 10 or so pours but I lost count. A small vineyard (there are 4 employees) that is charming and rustic. There is a sweet dog that lives there. The owner Jim is quite the character and had everyone singing karaoke. I found myself slow-dancing with my husband to "My Girl"- definitely a unique and memorable experience! read more

The Wine tasting was outstanding, excellent choice of vinyards. The other couples were friendly and talkative which also made for a great experience. Jenn was a great Host/Driver and was very friendly. She also shared information about the area and wineries themselves. Overall a fabulous experience! read more

Jenn was AWESOME. Great lunch. Super chill. Loved her. Jenn checked in on us and made sure we had time to get ready for all future stops. read more

We had a wonderful time during our tour! Rod, our driver, made it a great time and has excellent knowledge of the area & the wineries! We had excellent experience at the wineries and in the van, I couldn't have asked for a better wine tour! read more

My boyfriend and I did the Grapeline Wine Tour over the weekend, and it was a lot of fun. We ended up having the whole bus to ourselves, and it felt like we had a private tour. Rod was our driver, and he's an absolute gem. We loved chatting with him and learning fun facts about Paso and the wineries. read more

*UPDATE - Just got a call from the owner of Grapeline apologizing for the weekend and said he was calling everyone on our tour as it wasn't the usual Grapeline experience that people usually get and deserve. He is even sending a partial credit for a future tour with Grapeline. Will consider using them again to try out the full experience next time we go wine tasting. :) Pros: -Itinerary handed to us once we were on the bus -Bus picked up in downtown location in Paso Robles promptly -4 Tastings -Lunch Included -Water -Price was very reasonable for transport, tastings and lunch -Cute dogs at different wineries -Whalebone winery was very tasty, hip, and offered a free sample of tri-tip chili -We made new friends (shoutout to Ms. Charly and Ms. Liz) -Cooler of water on the bus was very nice to have -Bought a passenger a sprite free of charge when she was feeling car sick on the way to a winery Cons: -We had to pick everyone up at different locations which took away from times at the wineries -Supposed to get 10% off of Castoro wine bottle purchases (stated in the itinerary), but were told that wasn't valid -Rushed by Patty (drivers assistant) at the Oso Libre winery - we didn't get our full tasting flight and did't get to enjoy our time and view there -Doce Robles Winery - Wine wasn't impressive and wine maker and assistant giving tour couldn't coordinate and were never too sure of what they were pouring us -Lunch dessert bar and brie were average - Lunch sandwiches were filling -Apparently our driver assistant, Patty, usually doesn't do these tours and it was her first time and it def showed. read more

Michael, our guide, was great! he gave us lots of information and details about the area, the wines, and the wineries we visited. This is our fourth Grapeline tour and we'll definitely be back again next year. read more

Jen was amazing. Had a great day with Jen. Took us to some great boutique wineries we wouldn't have visited on our own. Highly recommended'

What a way to go! Fritz is the man! Started at Derby Wine Estates, historic Blue Diamond Almond building- good start! The guy that gave the tour was very knowledgeable, he also pours & is the bbq king in the summer! Croad Winery was next. A great Kiwi-American owned vineyard with sweeping hillside views. We also ate a box lunch here- nice job! Now if we can talk Fritz's wife into letting our man make chocolate- that could put this trip over the top! Great people at Midnight Cellars, was a backyard experience! Relaxing, fun and gave a homemade poppy pin in honor of WWI veterans on Veterans Day. Good wines here too! Doce Robles was a great way to end a fabulous day! Karaoke & wine tasting good stuff! What a day! What a birthday! Thanks Fritz. read more

For our honeymoon we headed down to Paso Robles for a couple of days before we left for our cruise, and we couldn't have been happier with our trip. And the main reason was Grapeline Wine shuttle and Fritz our driver. He stopped and picked us up at our hotel and we were the only ones on the shuttle that day. Fritz introduced himself and asked us what kinds of wines we were into and how much we knew about wine. With the knowledge that we wanted to stop at vineyards with people who actually care about their wines more than the money, and how I love off the beaten path small vineyards we set off for the day. Our first stop was Falcon Nest, my new and favorite vineyard and wine. We loved it so much we actually went back there for dinner that evening and had the best time. Our next three stops were just as awesome. At the third vineyard while we were doing our tasting and buying Fritz set up a gorgeous picnic on one of the tables shaded by a huge tree and overlooking the vineyards. The lunch was delicious and there was plenty for the two of us. Mmm...I wouldn't mind having some more of that lunch right now as a matter of fact. Fritz was awesome with everyone we came across which made for a very comfortable, relaxed and informative day. Not to mention that he took some of the cutest pictures of us that day. We loved our experience so much that we have every intention of going back again and requesting Fritz for the second time. We can't wait to see some more locations they recommend. read more

Rod was a great guide/driver. We went to 4 wonderful wineries that all had different atmospheres and great wines. The provided lunch was delicious. Would definitely do again when in Paso Robles. So glad we decided to do Grapeline Wine Tours. read more

July '09 my sister and I stopped off in Paso Robles (on our way to SF) to experience the local wineries. Of course we wanted to enjoy ourselves and be chauffeured around for the day... so we took a chance and reserved 'Grapeline'. Our shuttle picked us up on time from our hotel. The driver took us to 4 wineries: Castoro Cellars (LOVE), Red Soles Winery (GREAT), Norman Vineyards (YUM), and Four Vines (OK-the winery he wanted to take us to was closed). We went on a Tuesday... so we missed the crowds. Well, we didn't 'miss' them, but they didn't exist. We had an AMAZING experience and everything was perfect. The picnic lunch turned into the best picnic experience EVER! It was all orchestrated by our very knowledgeable and friendly driver. At the end of the tour we had our driver drop us off in downtown Paso Robles. We decided to grab dinner and continue drinking with another couple we had met on the shuttle. I do NOT recommend doing this :(( HANGOVER :(( I took lotsa pics and will add them ^-^ read more

A great time. We went to four wineries in the Paso Robles area and all them were very good. Our group was 10 people with varying amounts of wine tasting experience. The bus was clean and comfortable and complimentary water bottles were provided. Our driver Tommy was good. He explained this was not his usual route (he usually guides tours in Santa Inez valley area) and he still showed us a great time and arranged the tastings and wine caves tour smoothly. This was our 2nd grape line tour and we will be back! read more

Our children purchased a two night stay in a hotel in Paso Robles and we wanted to have a good and safe winery experience.We had heard of Grapeline Wine Tours as the best in tours for our day trip. Our first positive expereince was the phone call to the grapeline reservation sight. The person answering the phone was very cheerful and helpful in securing information about our interest in wines and types of wineries we would like to visit. She also said that the tours that we would enjoy is the lunch (picnic) and winery tour. She sent us a menu of lunch items that we could choose from and we could return to her our choice prior to our visit. Grapeline picked my wife and I up at our hotel as planned and even early. The tour guide and driver, Fritz, was extremely friendly and had notes from our conversation with the reservationist. He was already to share his expertise as to which wineries would be most compatable to our interest. Since we preferred boutique wineries and red wines he had the perfect fit and sequence of wineries to visit. Fritz would always assist us to the tasting room of the winery we visited and would introduce us to the winery staff. He seemed to know everyone when we arrived and we had the opportunity to meet some of the wine makers who were most gracious to share and talk about their wines. The picnic lunch was provided for us at our third winery. We came out of the tasting room having tasted very good wines to a table outside the winery with red solo cup wine glasses and a table set for a perfect lunch for us. Fritz had picked up our lunch before his arrival at our hotel. At the end of the day Fritz was very helpful and took us to the downtown area to point out and suggest some restaurants that we might want to visit for our evening meal. We had the opportunity to visit some wonderful boutique wineries, visit the countryside of Paso, visit an olive oil center and even visit a winery who specilaizes in Brandy ( Vodka & Gin). We had a wonderful time, with the perfect tour guide and a very safe and enjoyable ride. Whe we return in the future we will definately use Grapeline again and will request Fritz as our tour guide. Thank You Doug and Jan read more

We've used Grapeline twice now for Paso wine tastings. Dan was our driver both times and he's great. The tours run smoothly and Dan provides great insights about the wineries. Highly recommended. read more

I recently went on a tour in Paso Robles with my mom. This is our 3rd wine tour with Grapeline Tours. There was a last minute change to our tour but it all worked out in the end. Grapeline Tour had their manager from Santa Barbara- Juliette drive to Paso Robles so we could still do our scheduled tour. She was so nice, had great service and we had the opportunity to drive in one of their private vehicles. We already purchased more tours for the future. We love using Grapeline Tours for our wine tastings! read more

My husband and I went on a tour here in Paso Robles. I needed to change my reservations last minute and they were extremely helpful. I was able to secure an accessible tour. The driver Armando was so great and professional. Our tour guide was Fritz! He was super cool and very funny. Extremely knowledgeable and we had a great time. The first vineyard was Glunz Family Winery. We were greeted by a huge, friendly dog! Our host was awesome. Second stop was Le Vigne Winery. This was my favorite. They have handmade cheeses and the owner is a fantastic chef. There was music by a talented man who played the accordion. So much fun. Third stop was Riverstar. I was not impressed. The host was just playing bartender and we were really rushed. I wasn't impressed with the wine. It's beautiful though so maybe if there was a different person hosting I would give it another try. The final place was Graveyard Vineyards. Cool place with a Halloween spooky vibe setting inside but picturesque outside complete with a willow tree lined lake. We enjoyed our favorite wine of the day. The host was ok and he answered all my questions right away. I would take this tour again for sure. We had a wonderful time. read more

The Grapeline offers impressive service all around. Some highlights: I'd never been wine tasting before and this tour took out all the hassle of "decision making" and driving. Our driver David, was knowledgable about the area and happily answered all our questions with a smile on his face. We visited four wineries on a beautiful Monday (yes, Monday!) afternoon: 1. Doce Robles: family owned and friendly, with an incredible Tempranillo wine. The owner, Jimmy, is a born and bred California farmer who obviously knows his stuff. We were able to see the operation and taste some grapes right off the vine! Don't be surprised if two friendly German Shepards with mammoth paws wish to make your acquaintance. 2. Peachy Canyon: Cozy cottage-like winery with excellent service. (Ask for Stephen. He's a ninja.) You could easily imagine a summertime wedding on the lovely lawn - it really is just peachy. Try the Syrah or anything on the reserve list. 3. Shale Oak: Modern, immaculate chalet built and decorated "certifiably green" down to the last detail - you'll want to lounge on the patio for hours or curl up near the George Jetson fireplace inside. I was a fan of their Petite Syrah. 4. Croad Vineyards: Perched atop a vine-covered hill, this spanish colonial compound has an elegant courtyard with a million dollar view. Enjoy Aria and chat it up with the pleasant New Zealander hosts. The picnic lunch was delicious. The options from which we selected before the tour were appreciated. I was with a group of three, but by the end of our journey, all nine in the group were fast friends. If you're thinking of wine tasting in this area, book. this. tour. Seriously! Easy booking, wonderful experience where you'll meet new friends and make lasting memories. read more

We just finished a tour with Jenn. She was a wonderful, engaging, and knowledgeable tour guide. This is our second time using Grapeline, the first time being in Temecula.

My wife and I have been on many wine tours with Grapeline. We've done some with others, too. Grapeline is always the best. Clean busses, knowledgeable guides, smart choices on the wineries to visit. Michael was great and walked us thru the specialties of each vineyard. And gave us recommendations for further exploring on our own. read more

We love them! They're honestly the best! They're very knowledgeable about the wineries in Paso Robles

Not our first time in Paso but certainly our best! We attribute that to our wonderful Grapeline Tour with Rod. We have taken other tours prior but this was something special. We had another couple on the tour which made it a lot of fun. We had lunch at our 2nd winery. Rod went out of his way to make sure we had a special experience. Rod is very knowledgeable, and what we liked was him knowing when we needed something and then knowing when to give us some time alone. He is truly a gem and anyone who has him as their guide is lucky. I do want to mention when booking our tour we talked to Michelle who planned all our wineries and chose some unique wineries we all loved. The couple we met on our bus had been on Grapeline before, returning because they loved it. They kept saying during the tour how exceptional it was. Thank you Grapeline for giving us an experience we will never forget! Thank you Rod and Michelle. You make an amazing team! Lisa and Peter read more

My sister surprised me and took me up to Paso Robles to do some wine tasting as a last hoorah before I get married. We came on a Friday morning and had the entire bus to ourselves. Fritz was our driver and he was truly amazing. He gave us an itinerary and let us know different facts about the area as we went to each stop. He was so friendly and fun to talk to. Every pourer at each winery had a really great rapport with him. Anytime we would buy a bottle, he would take it to the bus and store it for us. He even set up place settings for us to eat lunch (provided by the company) after wine tasting at our second stop. My sister had a Caesar salad and I had a turkey sandwich. Both were really good and they even came with a chocolate chip cookie! He also took my sister's phone from her and took pictures of us out in the vineyards and while we were given tours of the property. To me, that made our experience even better. We didn't have to just settle on taking selfies or a picture of each other. We both got to be in the pictures which we can look back on and treasure. I highly recommend using Grapeline for your wine tasting experience and request Fritz to make it that much better! Thank you Fritz! read more
