Some wineries bring a bottle. Hunt Cellars brought a magnum... which is really just a more elegant way of saying, "we understood the assignment." I was lucky enough to win it at the Lumina gala (supporting local women and families), and let me tell you -- nothing says generosity quite like showing up big. Their contribution didn't just fill glasses... it lifted the entire room. Festive, abundant, and very Paso Robles in all the right ways. Big wine. Big heart. And clearly, no interest in doing anything halfway. Scarlett Cougar (AKA Sher McG) read more

A friend and I were on our way back home from big sur and decided to stop and get a little drink. We came across this little gem of a winery/tasting room! Natalia was amazing! Very knowledgeable! She sold us on getting a flight of regular wine and a flight of port, which is wine with bourbon or whiskey. Forgot which one. Everything was tasty! My flight was served with chocolates and my friends flight was served with pretzels and these delicious fluffy dips! Sooo good! My personal favorite was the basil pesto one! The ambiance was super cute and very home-ie feeling. We will most definitely come back again and purchase a bottle! Thanks Natalia for the great conversation and all the knowledge! read more

I really like Hunt Cellar wines! But I don't recommend buying anything off their "sale" rack. They didn't have the Que Sirah Syrah that I tasted during my visit on 10/11/25 (I think it was a 2014) so I bought a 2009 that was on sale. That was a big mistake. When I opened it last night (about 9 days after buying it at their tasting room), the cork disintegrated and wouldn't come out of the bottle. Had to push what was left of it in (see the pic of what's left of the cork). I knew it'd gone bad but had to taste it to make sure. Wish I hadn't. Had to pour it down the drain :( Still giving them 4 stars, because I do like their wine. They lost 1 star because the server yelled at 2 of my guests who were talking when she started to do her wine presentation. There are nicer ways of getting people's attention. But I still like their wine! So go visit them. read more

Hunt Cellars is yet another hidden gem. Not really hidden as you can see it easily from the 46, but it doesn't quite get the fanfare that it is deserving of. You almost feel like you are wine tasting at someone's home. The experience is that pleasant. Very relaxed and inviting is the vibe we felt the entire time. Our wine server was just so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The wine was great. We were also introduced to some excellent port wines. We are coming back for sure! read more

We met the Winemaker David & his wife in Burbank at Morton's Steakhouse for a VIP WINE LOCKER private wine tasting and he invited us to come out to PR & visit. We did and Laura & I had a phenomenal time with Mr. Dave 'WINE' the Hospitality Manager who gave us the most amazing private wine tasting ever. 11 wines later & 2 ports we were HAPPY. Dave took the time to explain every wine & so much more. If I could give a 10 outta 5 stars I would. We will be back in October for a Private wine tasting & dinner, CHEERS read more

Such a wonderful experience at this great winery that has both ports (very unique and hard to find) and lots of good red wines They maintain a very rich variety of wines and really everything we tried was yummy . We took one flight of wines and one flight of ports The lady who served us was very nice and generous , just excellent service We ended up taking home one of the ports - not cheap but totally worth it . Highly recommended !! read more

We visited Hunt Cellars based on a recommendation from a friend. The tasting room is located just off Highway 46, and we were happy to book the last tasting at 4pm. We were welcomed immediately by Johnny, who introduced us to the person who would be guiding us through the tasting, Pam, who also happened to be his wife. Thank you Pam for explaining to us wine newbies all the different wines on offer, including pouring us some wines that weren't necessarily on the tasting list, but more closely matched our personal tastes. Not every winery will do that for you, so we are truly appreciative of the personal touch. They are known for aging their wines a little longer than most, like from mid-2010s, and also their ports. You can either taste from their estate wines or from their ports, or try a bit of both. While we did not love everything we tried, we had enough of what we enjoyed to be able to purchase a few different bottles. The vibe is very low key and unhurried. Perfect for a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. We will visit again soon! read more

Don't pass this winery. Wonderful wines and great experience with Katarina. Take a chance and stop if it's not on your list.

After visiting several wineries around Paso Robles, my friends and I really loved so many things about Hunt Cellars. This was our favorite winery we visited. Our party of 6 walked in with 45 minutes to closing and was treated with such exquisite, excellent, Yelp worthy service by a man who calls himself "Grape". Our group was given pretzel snacks for between tastings and he even gave special dog treats, bowl of water and attention to my friend's two fur babies (dogs). Grape was so friendly, personable, knowledgeable and made us all feel very special. Grape -thank you, for your top-notch service that added so much awesome to our Paso Robles winery weekend trip :) Extensive excellent wines here at Hunt. I prefer sweet wines and purchased a Merlot Port (see my pic). I loved sitting at the the outdoor gazebo. Free parking. Check in to Yelp app and get your wine tasting for free. I am confident that you'll love your experience here, just as myself and my friends did. Thank you, Hunt Cellars for being truly 5-star Yelp worthy :) read more

Stan is the man! I could eat a steak dinner with him and down 2-10 bottles of wine between him, me and my partner. His timing was impeccable. He was witty but but pushy and down to earth. And the wines! All were great. Also loved the accordion musician, who kept my toddler entertained. I had been wanting to come to Hunt for some time. It's now on my regular Paso rotation. Thanks, Stan! read more

Been to more wineries than I can count. Napa is an auto parts store, Paso Robles is for wine tasting. Stopped by here for my name's sake. Impressed is what I was. Numerous great wines. Whites, reds, blends. All excellent. A little back story. The owner, David Hunt was a musician in the recording artist group Ambrosia. He played the piano, still does. Blind later in life but produces awesome wines. Stop by, you will not be disappointed % read more

Five stars for Natalia and for their port! My first visit and I will definitely be back. They make SO many different and unique ports. Many are aged for quite a long time. I REALLY enjoyed all of them and the hospitality. They make wine too (which I did not try). I highly recommend that you stop here if you are a "port person" like me. Note: They also make a white port which is rare. It was really good too. read more

Stopped for the red wine /port food pairing sign I saw as we we te driving by and it was everything I expected. It's a cute little tasting room and they basically have trays of cheese /appetizer type food and truffles made to pair with the wines and ports. Plates are made by a local French chef and they pair amazing with the wine. I am not a wine connoisseur but a client told me that he should taste wine by itself and taste wine with food and see how the flavor changes and so I was very excited to find this place. The wines and the ports were delicious as were the pairings with the food. I definitely recommend them And they were very friendly. read more

Hunt cellars has over 49 wines and a line up of port. Their ports are done in a unique manner that makes them not as sweet as ports i am use to. There is something really unique about the flavors of their wines. I liked the oldie but goodie port and their 08 syrah. Hunt cellars is worth a visit to experience their wines/port. Plus the service there is excellent and you will feel extremely welcomed! read more

For an exquisite winery tasting, you must enjoy a visit to Hunt Cellars Winery in Paso Robles, Ca. 93446 I recommend Andrea Jarvis, tasting room associate which provides a wonderful presentation which includes her southern hospitality and Sicilian graciousness. It was exceptionally intimate and immediately felt like family. Tasting room associate Johnny was very accommodating and attentive we can't wait until we return. Thankful to have visited was referred by a long-standing friendship and associate. read more

We went on The Wine Line tour and this is our favorite winery out of the 4 we went to. It's a small, cozy place, with a bit of a cottagecore feel to it. We were greeted by Johnny, who is just the absolute best host. Unlike other wineries that only give you 5-6 samples, we were able to sample about 10-12 total wines, ranging from white to red to ports. I like that they took our preferences into account, so I could have sampled more white wine (which I preferred) if I wanted to. And don't get me started on their ports.. ugh they are sooo good... My sweet tooth was spoiled that day. There was another family next to us and Johnny expertly switched back and forth between us and them to make sure we're not neglected. Johnny was so friendly, professional and warm to us. We left the place with a renewed appreciation for farmers and winegrowers. I cannot recommend this place enough. Johnny, thanks so much for such a wonderful wine tasting experience!! We can't wait to be back :) read more

I have a friend who loves this place and she is part of their wine club. The club tastings are really a good time, so leave your pretentions at home and just enjoy their gracious hospitality.

I organized a 15 person winetasting day with friends from all over California for my birthday. We came to hunt cellars by recommendation. Oh and are we glad we did! We had the most special and intimate tasting set up in the underground cellar. There was not one wine we did not enjoy! I cannot say the same about some other wineries in the area. This is a very special place! Of course we ended up joining the wine club and buying some bottles. Grape was so kind and knowledgeable. He was the best host! read more

We had their Port flight and they were really good. We will be returning to try other wines in the future. The staff was extremely nice and informative. We sat inside but the grounds were pretty too and we could have sat outside on their deck. read more

We decided that Hunt was our favorite winery of the day. Really great variety and a very unique offering in that they offer wines that were bottled many many years ago, unlike most of the local wines that were bottled in the last year or two. Our service was friendly and knowledgeable, without being pushy or obtrusive. Hunt will definitely be on our list when we come back to Central Coast. read more

They have AMAZING AWARD winning Cabernet wines here from 96+ points & up...Their wines have some of the highest points & awards in the Paso area ;) Their special port is a MUST try ;) 96 points I've met the owner, David Hunt, he is a truly nice guy with a talent of a nose & taste for wine ;) The tasting room might be small but they have some really great wines here ;) If you LOVE wine & have great taste..this place is a MUST place 2 stop 4 =) Hunt Cellars began a little over 20 years ago and is located in Paso Robles California on Highway 46 West Wine Trail, part of the coastal route to Hearst Castle. David Hunt and his wife decided on the Paso Robles region only after looking at land in Oregon, Washington, and all over California. Once settled onto their 550 acres of land that they believed would grow some award winning intense fruit (which they were right by the way) they named their vineyard "Destiny Vineyards" after their new baby girl, Destiny, who was born in 1996. Their first vines were Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah, Petite Syrah, Cab Franc Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. In 1997 they started producing their first releases with the first wine being a 90-point rating from Wine Enthusiast, a 1998 Zinfandel. In Oct of 1999 they opened their tasting room which sounds beautiful. They have a 1200 foot veranda under a pavilion that leads to landscaped grounds which you can stroll. The tasting room itself features live music or a self playing piano filling the air with songs that guests can choose. http://www.touringandtasting.com/hunt-cellars-winery-paso-robles http://www.huntcellars.com/awards.html http://fbworld.com/?s=hunt+cellars read more

We didn't taste any of their wines because we were a group of cyclists on a long ride. Went into ask if we could fill up our water bottles in their sink but they pulled out ice cold bottled water for us! Amazing staff and such an unexpected experience. I just wanted to spread some goodwill to some deserving ladies in the tasting room. read more

To be completely honest, I'm not a big wine drinker but my family members are and they really enjoyed the wine tasting here. Other than the wine we had excellent service from Andrea who was sweet, funny, knowledgeable and attentive. It's a cozy setting that makes you feel more like home than a cold establishment. Highly recommend for quality wine and a cozy setting. read more

This winery had not been on our original list - but we are so happy we stopped here. Loved every wine we tasted. How often does that happen?!

Amazing wines been a member for 20 years. Absolutely love this wine the best I have ever had.

Thursday, November 29, 2018 Came today. Been quite a few years since we were here last. Dave was our wine pourer today. Nice guy. I like the music related wine names they have. Probably because the owner of this winery did some keyboard work for the band Ambrosia in the late 70s/80s. They had some hits back in the day. It was also very cool Dave was pouring us many library wines that were quite vintage ranging from the year 2000-2010. Not very often I get to sample wines that old. Very cool. $15 tasting fee. The tasting room is very comfortable almost like the living room of an old house. See my photos below: read more
