    Have you every thought that you deserve an ocean view while sipping on some wines? You're in luck. Pet friendly for dogs on leash this place has quite the view of the ocean. They have a little shop inside for merchandise and snacks. Some days there is a food truck as well. I would have to say my top 3 of wines i tasted was 16' proprietor cabernet sauvignon just $105 a bottle..... In second place 16' the point was delicious. Third was the 2018 pergoia petite syrah which is significantly more affordable than my other two favorites. The staff has great attitude. I like how they deliver the tastings with the metal carriers it has flair!

    Came to the Fall Release Party and enjoyed the lovely wine and beautiful patio. The tasting room is always so inviting and friendly. Make sure to stop by in your next Paso trip!

    My husband and I belong to Hearst ranch winery, so we were at a pick up party. So much fun they had music and Chef, Rachel. I wish she had a restaurant. I loved her sample food so much. We had all reds and my favorite was Tempranillo. we especially love going to the winery in San Simeon as when you get your wine you're outside and you look out over the ocean. Fun time for all.

    Top notch service

    Made a trip to Hearst Ranch Winery on our way to the beach and it was super quiet but quaint and cozy. I am a member of this winery and of course there is no comparison to the San Simeon location. But I still enjoyed the exceptional service and delicious wine!

    Great wine tasting. Excellent service and advice on the wines. How can you go wrong with these views and great wine. Make sure to get a sammich across the street to enjoy with your wine tasting.

    Swallows galore!

    I had a great experience at Hearst with Grace this weekend. My partner and I made a reservation for Sunday at 1:30, and we happened to be the only people there at the time (that was short lived but nice while it lasted). Our pourer was really knowledgeable and even poured us some wines not on the tasting menu. We ended up getting a couple bottles - one of a lovely white cuvée and one of a petite Syrah. I cannot understate how relaxing the vibe was. Once we started sipping, we sat back in the chairs, listened to the birds, and soaked in the rays while gazing across the vineyards and farms in the area. It's a really different tasting room compared to San Simeon, and one absolutely worth experiencing. Pro: - super mellow any other day than Saturday - relaxing, calming vibe - snacks for purchase Con: - it's out there!

    Really good Zin!!

    Me and my girls enjoyed the views, wine and exceptional service from Grace :) she is a sweetheart. Very personable and again...super quiet, gorgeous woods surroundings for an intimate experience to treasure here on the west coast. We will be back, a must visit gem!!

    Hearst Ranch Winery in Paso Robles is dog friendly. My husband, our little girl dog and I came by this winery on a Friday, rainy late morning. When we arrived, the place was empty (possibly because of the rain?). We were greeted by a friendly employee behind the tasting counter. She was delighted to see our little girl dog and actually told us that we could let her go off leash (but of course if another guest comes in, we would leash her again). My dog seemed very happy to be off leash in this small tasting room as she went behind the bar to inspect everything (what a Yelper) and back to us around the bar. Anyways, we both had a voucher for a free wine tasting for two from a previous hotel stay we had on a previous trip out to this part of California (typically tastings cost $15 per person). To be honest, I am more of a dessert wine/ sweet wine kind of person. I do like some rose but for the most part, my palate for wine is rather limited (I'm not nearly as sophisticated as most for wine). So I didn't really like any of the wines offered, even their sweetest wine that this winery carries (they are not known for dessert wines). But my husband did like some of the wines, but unfortunately not enough to purchase. During our tasting experience, the employee hostessing us left for her lunch break and another employee filled in during that time. He was also very friendly and enjoyed our company and especially our little girl. This employee (sadly I forgot both of the employees names) was helpful in suggesting a few wineries for me to try since I had told him I prefer very sweet wines. One thing that I like about Paso Robles is that there isn't really that competition among wine makers/ wineries. Businesses just want to encourage support among each other and are more than happy to suggest other wineries to try. Overall, we had a nice experience here, even though we left empty handed. I greatly appreciated that there was no pressure to purchase any bottles of wine during our tasting.

    Hearst Ranch Winery is so lovely! We love the San Simeon location and became wine members there. We decided to stop at the paso location on our most recent visit and loved it! The woman working was knowledgeable and kind. She even called halter ranch for us to make a lunch reso, so sweet of her! The Tempranillo was a highlight. Next time we hope to bring lunch and enjoy their outdoor area. Can't wait to come back & for our April wine shipment.

    I've been a wine club member for years. It was the first winery where everything on the tasting menu was delish! Enjoyed a wonderful pick-up party in Paso this weekend. My first event with Hearst. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Jim and Debbi the owners were there making their rounds, as was the wine maker. If you are a red fan...this wine is for you. It is so approachable and priced nicely (especially for members). Tasting room in San Simeon has been renovated and I cannot wait to check out.

    I wish I bought a few bottles of this.

    Got a Muscat and 2 red that I don't remember. The Muscat is really good though and I highly recommend buying more then one bottle. With covid procedures they were not doing tasting, so we just bought 3 bottles, cheese and crackers.

Michael was extremely personable, friendly and knowledgeable. We loved having someone so knowledgeable to show us around so we didn't have to drive ourselves. We visited three different wineries and they were all unique and interesting with a variety of wines. We visited Thacher (6 tastings plus a bonus pour of cider), Whalebone Winery (9 pours - wow!) and McPrice Myers (5 pours plus a bonus). Plus lunch, which was included in the price (sandwich and potato salad and cookie)!!! Great scenery and a beautiful day to enjoy our tastings booth inside and outside each winery. We also learned so much from each person serving us too. Michael also went out of his way to point out local restaurants and favorite bars and speakeasies in the area along the way. Finally, we left a sweater on the van and Michael called us to let us know and he drove back to return it to us. We really appreciated his kindness and great customer service.

    Beware! *** And be…read moresure to read owner's response to this review, then look at the screen shots of the emails that I received regarding their discriminatory practices, THEN decide if you want to trust these guys with your vacation time. No accountability, just anger, greed, and insults from owner. Jeez. Jason, read again what your employee sent me. That's not "downright untrue" or "slanderous" -- that's your staff, verbatim. And God forbid any paying customer -- solo or not -- has a problem with a wine tour, for we can see the level of cordiality, care, and accountability they'll encounter *** The Wine Line discriminates against solo travelers and refuses to do business with them unless you agree to a hefty solo supplement -- for a shared tour! I was once a happy repeat customer, but when trying to book last year, a representative told me, word for word (see emails in photos), this: "We are currently not servicing single passengers due to the work required... your patronage is simply untenable, financially." Wow, my patronage is simply untenable. That's straight up greed with a dose of haughty nastiness. I've never heard anything like that before, ever, from any business, and I've dealt with some truly awful and shady businesses before. Also: want to bring your pup along? No more, and especially if you are traveling solo with one: "It's just a bit burdensome and financially a loss to accommodate a single... particularly with a dog." Wow, we're a bit burdensome too. This policy and this attitude is the opposite of the welcoming spirit I experienced from them before. If they're comfortable sidelining solo guests, I can't help but wonder what other corner-cutting decisions, surcharges, and greediness now lurks behind the facade they project on Yelp and on their website. I truly regret having given them a glowing review in the past. To anyone who heeded my previous advice and ended up deceived, I apologize. Avoid. We don't need to condone this behavior from ANY business.

We went to two other vineyards ( we thankfully ordered box lunches!) and enjoyed them, too. Our driver delivered us back to our motel.
