I was a loyal Oso Libre member for more than five years. That ended after my most recent visit…read more I brought seven family members to the winery, excited to introduce them to wines I'd enjoyed as a member. When we arrived, I learned that groups of seven or more get charged an extra $10 per person--a $70 fee that essentially wiped out my complimentary member tastings. Six people? No charge. Seven? That'll be $70. What?! For literally ZERO increase in service or experience. They're walking around a table, pouring a thimble of wine in a glass...that one extra person apparently necessitates a $70 fee. Here's the kicker: we were the only people in the tasting room for the entire two hours we were there. No crowd to manage, no strain on resources. And our group bought nine bottles of wine. The "thank you" for bringing in new customers and making purchases was a surprise $70 surcharge. I emailed to cancel my membership, thinking someone might reach out to try to keep a five-year member. Instead, I got a polite apology and a cancellation confirmation--from the GM and Winemaker, no less. No offer to waive the fee, no credit, nothing. They let a long-time member walk over $70. I noticed another Yelp review complaining about this exact same policy. So it's not just me--and apparently that feedback hasn't prompted any change. That says a lot. In a region overflowing with great wineries that actually value their members, I can't recommend this one. Policies like this, combined with zero effort to retain loyal customers, tell you everything you need to know about how they view the people who support them.

Fun tasting! Jeff…read morewas our host at Opolo and was super friendly and generous with both knowledge and wines. He gave us three wines past the list on the tasting! The wines were delicious!

Unfortunately, we had to end our family's 20-year membership with this winery. Very disappointed…read morewith the experience. We were told we could no longer do wine tasting outside unless we ordered food, which felt more like a way to increase sales than accommodate guests. What made it more frustrating is that not long ago we were able to enjoy wine tasting outside without any issue. On a beautiful day like today, we were instead seated in the back bar area, not even at a proper table, despite having an infant with us. After 20 years of loyalty, this was really disappointing and not the experience we expected.

If you like wine and LOVE cats, look no further than Whalebone! We dropped in on a rainy afternoon…read moreand were delighted to see all the cats and one dog in the tasting room. We were even lucky enough to have one of the cats tasting with us the entire time. They had a big covered outdoor patio, but we opted to taste at the bar so we could enjoy the cats and not get wet having to go back and forth between inside and out. The tasting menu consisted of 9 wines, 1 white and 8 reds. Since we had another winery or two ahead of us, we opted to share. My boyfriend was skeptical about sharing at first, but he ended up glad we did because the pours were a pretty decent size. They also had a wall of olive oils and balsamics that you could taste. Plus mustards available for purchase, but not tasting. The hospitality was fantastic! It was a rainy day, the tasting room was packed, and there was only one person working, but he managed to take care of all of us with ease. He constantly knew which wines people were on, and still took the time to chat with everyone about the wines and the animals. This wasn't my favorite wine of the trip, but we did leave with a bottle and also got some oils and a mustard!

Service was friendly, helpful, and proactive. I didn't like the one white wine I tried, but to be fair, I more came for the pizza and music. I would definitely come back for their next food and music event. Only real complaint was that the outdoor furniture, while beautiful, was rather uncomfortable. Accessibility: Mostly flat walk from where I parked on a gravel/dirt driveway. One handicapped parking spot where the walk is completely paved, but it was already taken. Much of their outdoor seating is low, but they have normal height chairs with arm rests around the side to the back. They have a big, very calm dog wandering about, which I loved, but I know other people are scared of dogs.

One of my FAVORITE wineries that we came to during our weekend! We will definitely be back (and…read morehopefully get to see a plane land next time). The views here are just WOW and it's even adorable driving in. You see the little train tracks they have as well as the small but mighty runway where planes can actually fly in and land. So unique! The views from inside or outside are both spectacular, and I enjoyed the ambiance with live music while we were here on a Sunday. Service was great and the food was even better. We ordered the caprices salad which typically comes with tomatoes, but since the chef only works with what's in season, it came with peas. I can't even tell you how amazing it was -- even my boyfriend wanted more! We split the Halter Ranch Burger and Chicken Sandwich and both were great, but the chicken was just so fresh and delicious. Halter Ranch will definitely become one of our regular stops during our trips to Paso from here on out! Can't wait to be back.

We flew in (!!!) to the airstrip on the property, where we were then given a short ride to the main winery. Landing here requires advanced notice and some paperwork, but wasn't too much of a hassle. We started off with the wine tasting - I enjoyed every wine I tried, especially the rose and CDP. The pours were pretty generous and they let us re-visit our favorite, which was nice. We also split the charcuterie board and chicken sandwich. The charcuterie was alright, but nothing amazing. Same for the chicken sandwich, overall pretty good but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it here. The service was really great, and we enjoyed walking around the property after lunch. I'm definitely excited to come back on one of the days the mini train is running!

Apologies in advance for a lame review. I didn't take a single picture, though Tablas Creek…read moreVineyard is picturesque. I didn't even take a picture of the flights of wine we tasted, though they were fantastic. The facilities here are great. You are on a multi-level terrace, at your own table. It's shaded. It's quiet. It's peaceful. It's beautiful. I am not a wine person. I usually opt for cocktails. But, we came here on a warm day in the late spring. Their white (or more accurately "lighter than red") wines are light and taste like summer. Summer in a glass. You can't go wrong with that. Our wine guide was fantastic. She spent a lot of time with us. Brought us some extra glasses. She was so knowledgeable and so personable. And she attained a first: got me to sign up for their wine club! I was putty, all wined-up and feeling happy and fine. Even got a "free" Tablas Creek ball cap. Great place. Go visit.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: This was our first winery of the day and it didn't disappoint. We came into the parking lot but wanted to extend our son's napping so we drove around the area for another twenty minutes. When the hostess checked us in, she was wondering if we were the folks that drove in and then drove out haha. We sat down and had a red and white tasting that each consisted of 5 wines each. All were pretty good and the white wines definitely had more tropical fruit notes associated with them. The reds were as you expected: big and bold. Had some oak to help mellow out the boldness but definitely a great wine to sip on. THE FINAL BAMBOO: For a red and a white tasting, the damage done here was around $50. We enjoyed the views and the hospitality here. Will be back!

I'd been wanting to visit Epoch for years, but for some reason or another it always ended up…read moregetting skipped when we planned our trips. But alas, we finally made it happen, and we had such a great experience. The tasting room is beautiful and grand, it was so cool to hear about the building and how it was restored. Tastings are by appointment, which you can book and schedule online. When you arrive the gate is closed and you buzz in to let them know you're there, so I probably wouldn't try to just walk in. As we approached the tasting room someone met us outside with our first taste of wine, such a nice touch. We sat inside at one of the comfortable couch settings, but they also had bar seating and bigger tables larger groups. You are also able to take your wine outside and explore a little bit, which we did. We noticed other groups with dogs, so they are dog friendly even inside! We were helped by Taylor who led us through the tasting, which was already set up and ready to go at the table when we arrived. Even though the wines were all out, she stopped in as we worked our way through them to talk about them a bit more. Including the welcome pour when we arrive, the tasting menu had 2 whites and 3 reds when we were in. We ended up trying a couple other wines that weren't in the tasting, and ended up getting bottles of the sensibility from the menu and a zin that was and off menu pour. Would absolutely come back here for an elevated and sophisticated wine experience that doesn't feel stuffy at all.

Amazing Winery! Architecture and Wines! Lots of history in this tasting room and one can spend…read morehours learning and wandering around. Historic meets Urban is how I would describe it. The tasting room was named one the top #19 wineries in Architectural Digest (August 2018) in the WORLD! And #2 of the top #19. Now that's amazing and well deserved! Lacey was our tasting room host and she was wonderful! She knew all the history and well described the wines. She didn't rush us and encouraged us to relax, wander around, and enjoy the tastes. We were on the fence about one of the wines, and she offered us an older vintage so we would know how it would taste in 10 years! That worked! We were very impressed with their wines and they definitely sell themselves! The inside is very roomy and comfortable. There is also seating with nice views, should you want to relax outside. Definitely have added Epoch to our list of wines to buy and places to visit for future Paso trips!

I've done a dozen wine tastings in Paso Robles and this was by far the worst…read more Starting off with the worst - the service. The staff were neglectful. 45-50 went by between pours. Staff were just sitting around chatting amongst themselves, not checking in on guests. Second, when they did have time to come by, they harassed me about my 2 year old and told us to keep an eye on her and made sure we were watching her. Our party had 7 adults and one child - and one of us were always with her (there's loose roosters running around, and droppings everywhere - it's not a space for unsupervised play). The wine was mediocre. The food options were terrible. Even if I didn't have a kid, I would skip - there are far better wineries, with better wine, staff, food, and prices. This place is not worth anyone's time.
