The atmosphere was great, clean, elegant, beautiful inside and out. We did the $45 wine tasting, wine was average, the pour was below average. For $45, I would expect a decent taste, not a sip. My wife and I decided not to buy wine this time, nothing really stood out. I did decide to buy a jar of olives; the olives had a slight hint of almonds, not a fan. I attempted to close the jar and the lid would not lock in place (unable to get a tight seal). I returned the jar and asked that the hostess notify the own of this issue. The server was great, friendly, and professional. My experience, during a $45 tasting, one should have consumed the equivalent of at least 3/4 of a bottle (I could be wrong). During this tasting, we consumed the equivalent of a half glass of wine. read more

The "Ranch" property is the "other" location from the main San Simeon spot, and it should not be overlooked or forgotten. It's absolutely lovely. Rustic outside, and inside (brrrrr), clean and comfortable. My lady and I did the tasting, and of the 6, I actually liked 4 of them...unusual. I bought two different bottles, and they were reasonably priced around $40/bottle. I'll be back anytime the wind blows. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This was an easy, non pretentious winery. Christina was great and accommodating. If you want a relaxed and lovely atmosphere and a low key wine tasting adventure, this is a spot a visit. read more

Very relaxing. Tried the Rose wine and tasted very smooth and refreshing. They have a variety of cheeses, jams, spreads, and crackers to pair with the wine. If you are with a group I definitely recommend buying by the bottle instead of the glass since it is cheaper. The lady who was working there was super sweet, she did advise we should buy the bottle instead but we didn't anticipate having more than one glass, couldn't help it since it was delicious. She was also so accommodating and brought a board and utensils and we created a mini charcuterie board. Definitely will return when near the area. read more

Great service and excellent wine. We stopped on our southbound trip and checked it out.

Beautiful setting- out in San Miguel. Rustic and friendly. Wines are very nice- a good variety and many of them come from old vineyards and years of experience even though the winery itself is fairly new. They offer single CA style varietals as well as traditional red blends. We hope to visit the location out on the coast and try more of their offerings next time we are up in Paso! read more

A-mazing afternoon at Hearst Ranch Winery! Joined the Legacy Club yesterday after we had an excellent tasting experience at the San Simeon location. We decided to stop at the Paso Robles location on our way back to Sacramento after a week of camping in Morro Bay. The bar was raised even higher. Pat was so knowledgeable and what a gracious host! She treated us like royalty. We would highly recommend Hearst Ranch Winery to anyone. read more

This location on River Road in Paso is a hidden gem! The rolling countryside provides a relaxing environment in which to enjoy some amazing wines. The hubby and I are fans of reds and there are so many to enjoy: Cab Franc, Merlot, Proprietor's reserve Cab Sauv is a show stopper, Petite Syrah, Tempranillo, Randolph and Three Sisters bends, Malbec, see what I mean? Pack a picnic and enjoy the peaceful outdoor patio, or if the weather isn't cooperating, the tasting room and barrel rooms provide a lovely indoor option. If you're lucky enough to have Carson serve you, you'll be in great hands. read more

Not the most iconic location (compared to their tasting room on the coast in San Simeon, but the wine is top notch, service is friendly and knowledgeable, no rush. A bit pricier tasting than others, but the quality of the wine is worth it. For me, the 2017 Pergola Petit Sirah was my favorite (we got a couple bottles). A bit pricey at $35 but was be willing to pay compared to $105 for the proprietors cab. Overall, great wines and a nice experience. read more
