Two super welcoming and mellow guys pour super mellow wines in, sorry for lack of synonyms, but a super mellow environment. These wines are not your typical Paso fruit bombs. They show some restraint yet still achieve complexity. The winery dogs are super sweet. read more

One of my favorite spots to recommend people. Feels like the old school way of what wine tasting is about. Hangin with the dogs and the goat and drinking amazing wines, my favorite is their "key" Rosé wine. read more

Cassidy handled our tasting. She was great. Knowledgeable, a pro who was friendly & gave us a lot of great info about the area.. The atmosphere was perfect, no pretense, just an easy going time with really good wines. We'll definitely recommend & retun! read more

Absolute hidden gem in the central coast! We moved down in Templeton 2 years ago and with over 300 wineries we have to try, we certainly have to try harder. This weekend, we decided to drive in the Adelaide area and stopped at Kiamie without a reservation. The gentleman that was helping us was absolutely the sweetest, most welcoming person granted that almost every winery in the central coast would require you to 1) reserve especially during the weekend 2) insist that you put your mask on even if you're outdoor 3) children have to remain seated or confined in their strollers, he was the complete opposite! He offered my girls Capri sun, let them explore and even asked if they would like to feed the goat.... truly an experience that my family look for when wine tasting. Of course my 3yo decided to pull one of the dream catcher that she accidentally broke and the gentleman was so kind about it- we are truly sorry for it. Anyway, the wines?!? All are wonderful!!!! We are more of white wine folks and it's rare that we find reds that we love... Kiamie's reds are absolutely delicious! The winery has hummingbird feeders everywhere and they are absolutely beautiful to watch up close. Honestly, I can probably sit hours sitting in one of their picnic tables drinking their Kuvee and listen to birds--- it's an absolute treat. Looking forward to going back there coz taking home one bottle of kuvee is not enough! read more

This winery isn't as stately as many others, but the wines are outstanding. It is a very laid-back atmosphere that includes a host, a llama and 3 friendly dogs. It is definitely worth stopping at. read more

This place is awesome!! Casual and fun. Aram was great. Well worth the trip and fun entertainment at 4:00 for the wine and "Richard" cheese special! read more

Go - because the wine is good Go - because it is remote and there is nothing else like it ( I think) Go - because of the atmosphere Go - because it is how wine should be served - no pressure - enjoying the earth. read more

Just got back from our 4th Annual Girl's Wine weekend in Paso Robles and we focused on visiting boutique wineries this year. Kiamie was the hi-light of our trip! Greg and Aman have a true passion for the wines they produce and offer a casual and unique environment to relax and enjoy your tastings. This will be a "must stop at" when we're back in Paso again! read more

Kiamie Wine Cellars - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Our friends treated us to a trip out to Kiamie Vineyards on a recent weekend. They are wine club members, and we can certainly see why. This is not your Napa-wannabe, fancypants winery - this is a rustic winery with true character, and we loved it. The tasting room is friendly, tiny and WARM, thanks to a fabulous wood stove. We walked around with our glasses, met the resident goat and dogs (if you happen to bring doggie biscuits for the pups, they will follow you around as if you are their best friend - I love them!), and thoroughly enjoyed their wines. This place is friendly, unpretentious, and won't break the bank, but if you're looking for fancy, big, and sterile, this place probably isn't going to make you happy. We walked away with a couple of bottles and hope to return soon! read more

We were visiting next door and walked into this place because we're always open to a new place and to new adventure. Once inside, we were warmly greeted by the owners Greg and Aram. The place was small and rustic and had a charm to it. We tasted a flight of red wines and we were impressed by the subtle, yet complex wines. I liked all of the four wines that I tasted,but my favorites were "R own" blend and the Meritage. If you're looking for something new and good then this is the place-it's all about the wine! read more

Come for the amazing wine, stay for the jokes and goat. My first "real" wine tasting experience ruined it for all others. The people at Kiamie are friendly, fun and not in the least pretentious. A beautiful, relaxing setting to enjoy a lovely wine selection. Oh, and there are dogs. Thank you Greg, Mary, Adam, Bob & Adam. We had the best afternoon! read more

What a great experience. Visited Paso this weekend and were told by friends to visit Kiamie. We arrived at 10am, (don't judge) an hour before they opened but the owner Aram had no problem with it and invited us right in! He was so welcoming, friendly and hospitable. He hung out with us the whole time and we felt like old friends just talking in his backyard over some amazing wine! As if that wasn't enough he took us to where they make and store the wine and we sampled wines out of the barrel. It truly was a special, one on one personal experience you can't get from the big, commercialized cookie cutter wineries. Did I mention how amazing the wine was?? If you're into fluff this isn't for you. This is good old fashioned quality and service! Thank you Aram and Greg, can't wait to see you guys again! read more

We decided to stop here when we were driving by and I am glad we did. The tasting room is charming and rustic. The owners, Aram and Greg, are fun and inviting. We came for a tasting and ended up staying for hours. We chatted with the friendly owners, drank wine and enjoyed the beautiful grounds. We enjoyed the experience and the wine so much we become members. They are not on the wine map which makes this place tougher to discover, but if you are reading this I would say go there. read more

Kiamie Wine Cellars - Beautiful outdoor space - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

For my birthday we decided to stop at Kiamie cellars so glad we did. Being in this county since the 1980s I enjoy our old Winery's the ones that are small the ones that are starred up the ones that a lot of people don't go to because they read what's in a magazine the mom and pop shops the guys who put their heart soul and love into what they're producing this is what Greg does at Keomi. Picnic was wonderful with the winery dogs and a spirited conversation was also part of the fun. read more

A group of four friends embarked on a relaxing wine trip navigated by a hired driver, Mike. After a couple of stops to the "usual places" he damn near insisted on stopping at Kiamie telling us "just trust me". THANKFULLY we agreed and we were blown away. Greg was pouring and was eager to chat with us. We went way off the wine path and felt as if we were accepted into a friendship with everyone there. Another couple that arrived joined in and we were off on varied and entertaining tales of baseball and histories. And all this just speaks to the atmosphere. Now the wine.... I am a HUGE fan of the Kuvee! Also snagged up. 2 bottles each of the Meritage and Unblocked. Greg was very informative and answered every question I asked with such detail that I felt more knowledgeable about wine then before I had arrived. I am not a seasoned vet juts yet but working my way there and with the help of Greg signifying the different tastes and levels, I was grateful. Several bottle purchases and a couple of wine club sign-ups later, we were off to continue our "tour" knowing full well we will be back. Multiple times over to build upon the experience. Thank you Kiamie!! See you again soon! read more

Absolutely wonderful!!! A bit "out of the way" from the downtown tasting rooms, but worth every minute! Greg and Aram (and the llama, the goat and the dogs!!!) are just wonderful! An absolute must every time we come up to Paso! Thank you guys so much!!!! read more

Kiamie Wine Cellars - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Greg and Aram are doing very good things here. Think Old World style. Not the big fruit bombs of Paso, but the subtle flavors with minerality. Tasted everything and bought 2009 Kiamie Kuvee. I will let it rest a year or so and try it after some air time. My guess would be that it will be really tasty. Of course I bought a bottle of PrOcRastinaTion (spells PORT) for my lady. Can't pass up a nice sweet deal. read more

This is a hidden gem of wine cellars and wine tasting. Such a comfortable environment and nice vibe. Friendly service, beautiful outdoor environment. I highly recommend you check this out! read more

My first Yelp review! STOP #1 of the Paso Robles Zinfandel Festival Weekend 2010 A couple of days prior to coming here I met owner Aram Deirmenjian while he was pouring wine for Kiamie at a wine tasting show in Pasadena. I told a number of winery people that I would be in Paso Robles for the Zin Fest, but Aram was the only one that graciously invited me and was sincere in having me as a guest. TASTING ROOM: Open Thursday to Monday 11 AM to 6 PM (or by appointment) Tasting fee: $5 credited with purchase The new tasting room (opened on April 11, 2009) looks more like a country club bar, with it's big windows and tasteful bright interior. Volunteer server Jim poured for us with enthusiasm. He easily handled the growing crowd with poise and shared his knowledge about the wines and the other must see spots in town. Kiamie's winemaker Steve Glossner is a veteran of the Paso Robles wine scene, putting in years in such acclaimed establishments like Justin Winery, Adelaida Cellars, and Halter Ranch. It's no wonder the wines here at Kiamie (especially the blends) are at a high-quality level. Adding to our wine tasting experience, Tasting Room manager Sophia Stephens supplemented our server's notes with her knowing take on the Kiamie wines. She even gave us a list of recommended wineries which we would more or less follow the next day. It's refreshing to see a young, passionate wine lover in charge of the wine tasting. (She's also very cute!) WINE TASTING HIGHLIGHTS: "Kiamie White Kuvée" This Roussanne and Viognier blend is a bolder white with lush lemon, melon and pear flavors and a crisp citrus finish. It was a great way to start after 3 to 4 hours of driving from the O.C. "Meritage" Comprising of Cab, Merlot, Petite Verdot, and Malbec - this is a nice, well balanced blackberry and black currant tasting blend with a smooth finish. "R'Own Style Blend" Kiamie's unqiue blend of Syrah, Grenache, Zinfandel and Viognier makes for a spicy and tart cranberry/cherry offering. A long spicy finish rewarded me here. "Kiamie Kuvée" I recall there were 2 different vintages of this varietal on the tasting menu, but I lost my notes getting caught up in that wine-tasting zone. But both of the blends were made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Malbec and Zinfandel. And regardless of vintage, this was my favorite varietal of theirs. Well balanced, delicious cherry, black berry, and vanilla with hints of coffee and a complex finish left me reeling. Superb. "Zinfandel" This one was still very young and was poured from a decanter. And while you cannot go wrong with any of Kiamie's blends, this Zinfandel was raw, peppery, fruit forward and hinted of the greatness to come. I even took another glass to pair with the tacos they were serving up that day. TIPS: - Expect to pay $24 to $44 for their bottles. - Dog friendly. - You may be able to find Kiamie wine at your local Winestyles wine shop. - They take part in numerous art/food/wine events. Check out their website: http://www.kiamiewines.com/news/events.php At these special events, when you see a Kiamie representative ask them if they have any complementary tasting cards. - They even give free coffee for the designated driver at the next door Café Vio. - All in all it was an exceptional experience. Just go and visit them! read more

Incredible place to relax. Very generous pours and interesting people. Great place to explore the non-corporate essence of Paso Robles. read more

We were told to come here by our CPA Hal. Greg the owner met us at the door and sat us outside on a cute little table facing the lama and goat. He came to us and poured our tastings outside with a bowl of snacks. Such a nice guy and their wines are delicious! They have a fantastic white wine and their reds are outstanding. Definitely a must in Paso, small but a mighty winery! We will be back and we will be bringing friends! Ken(LA City Fireman) and Elizabeth(Realtor) read more

This place is a trek, but it is definitely worth coming here. The owners Greg and Aram are great and so are their doggies :) They were our first stop of the trip, and when Greg found that out he said "oh man, its gonna be all downhill from here" and he was right! It was hands down the best winery of the day. We were the only ones in there for a while, and they really do treat you like family. Their wine club only ships 2 times a year, which makes committing to it so much easier. Can't wait to go back for their pick up parties!! read more

Came there for the goat, was thoroughly impressed with the wine. The outside area was great, filled with friendly puppies. The goat, named "Goat", was a good drinking companion, and certainly not a cheater. The wines on the tasting list were fantastic, and varied, which pleased the vastly different palates of my group. Thats to say nothing of how friendly the owner and staff were. Definitely a must see place. read more

This place is what Paso wine tasting should be. There's a good reason all the reviews rave about Kiamie; it's that good. Not just the wine, which is great, but the whole experience. We tasted with Aram, who is funny, engaging, and very knowledgeable about wine. He'll tell you as much as you want to know without being pretentious or condescending. He sits with you if you want and leaves you alone if that's what you prefer. He will call over the goat (Greatest Of All Time) for you to feed. He will tell you stories about how the winery came to be. And he will pour excellent wine. All of the wines are very good. And there's something for every taste. We got the Meritage and the Cuvee. Both excellent. A bit pricey but worth it. No pressure to buy, and you can "revisit" anything you like before committing. This isn't the corporate experience. It's what wine tasting used to be. Friendly, relaxed, laidback, and fun. If you like lots of gleaming steel and granite counters this isn't that place. If you want free bottles of Fuji water go up the road to Justin first. If you want corporate management look elsewhere. (The computers were down when we visited so they wrote our credit card info on paper.) If you want a relaxed visit, friendly staff (and dogs) excellent wine, and a true Paso experience this is your place. read more

Greg and Aram are amazing. If you want to sit down and talk with the owner of winery while they serve you some top notch options this is the place. From the minute you walk in the door you feel like your with friends. Super affordable wines made some genuine people read more

Amazing place with amazing wine. Was so relaxing to just sit outside and drink some wine. Would never have come here if we weren't on a tour. This is on my place to come back too. Awesome looking bottles as well. Highly recommend read more

Read the reviews on this winery and decided to see for ourselves. Reviews were right! Loved this winery. Wines were fantastic and atmosphere was very different from other wineries. If you want a fun and laid back atmosphere along with great wine, come here. When you arrive, you'll be greeted by adorable and friendly dogs and a billy goat! read more

Just like everyone else has said in their review before me. Excellent wines and you get to talk to the owner and really have a unique and awesome wine tasting experience. Love their whites and reds! Must love dogs if you go here :) read more

If you are searching for wines that have body, character and style, this is the place. These folks know what they are doing and are doing it well. Aram and Greg provide a wonderful atmosphere where they not only explain how they make their wine but mix it with humorous stories about their experiences in life. I will definitely be back to make more wine purchases and to hear some great stories from the great gentlemen that have this place. read more

What a special treat. This location is on an old homestead. If you blink you will miss it. It is a hidden gem in a rustic location showcasing AMAZING wines. They have some farm animals roaming around & several sweet doggies to great up upon arrival. They also have a few picnic tables for you to lunch or have your tasting outside. Give this one a shot, you won't be disappointed! read more

Damn was this a gem! This was our 6th winery we visited in a day. Traversing Paso east to west avoiding amateur hour of bridal limo wine tours we pulled into Kiamie mid afternoon. It's unassuming, rustic, has a small country feel. Even has goats. Aiden was inside the very small tasting room. Poured us a white, said we could have a seat outside. I said, nah I'll stand and hang inside. Aiden just grabbed a bottle and said we'll I'm going outside. Much to our surprise Jimmy had smoked some tri-tip with mushrooms and asparagus earlier for their lunch/early dinner and we arrived before they packed up the left overs. We were treated like friends and had an unexpected incredible late lunch with amazing wines. We were tasting the 2018 Unlocked Red with the meat and maybe it was timing because that's the bottle we took home. i look forward to having this bottle with our steak cooked on the flame during our next camping trip. read more

Kiamie has a rockstar list! We literally bought one of everything. Had a great time hanging out with the wine maker and his buddy. Shared a bottle of wine together after the tasting and hung out. THAT is what sets this place apart from the others. We had a great time getting to know you, and your fat goat! Until next time...Cheers read more

If you like good wines and rustic environment, this is the place for you. It is tucked in among some high-class wineries. We enjoyed the wine and talking with the owner Aram and visiting with his dog Duke. There is also a llama and a goat to keep you interested in the surroundings. You won't find it on the map but it is just down the road from Halter Ranch winery. It is worth a stop read more

This review is long overdue. My husband and I have been here several times. The first time we stumbled onto this winery and so glad we did! They have some of the most amazing wines in the area. The second time we came by we brought my family and they also really liked the Vinos here. On both occasions we bought several wine bottles. Not only are the wines really good but the two owners are friendly and have the best sense of humor. I like the chill laid back environment this winery has to offer. There is nothing pretentious about this place and unfortunately, you will not find the winery on the Paso Robles/Templeton wine map. read more

Loved visiting this winery, again suggested by my wonderful driver, and was not on my list---egregious error, so glad we went. Greg sat out back with us and that's where we did our tasting while enjoying our box of french bread, cheeses and meats. I loved the Unlocked wine & and we joined the Kiamie wine club. I am a farm girl at heart (& former goat owner) so I really enjoyed the goat and llamas and was told by someone there that I am the only customer that they had ever seen Greg allowed in the pen. That just added to my enjoyment of the visit. Logan, the dog also enjoyed the food box and was good company. Laid back and unpretentious, but excellent caliber wine quality make the rustic charm of this place worth the visit. read more

We loved the unpretentious, charming vibe of this winery. Logan the black lab bounded out to meet us as we drove up. Greg showed us a tarantula he found, and Aram poured our wines and brought them to us outside. We enjoyed chatting with him and seeing the mama and baby llamas. They even had a Capri Sun and oyster crackers for our three-year old, plus cornhole and bubbles! And when we wandered a bit farther afield, Aram warned me of snakes, which I appreciated. Unfortunately they had sold out of their kuvees when we visited, but we liked both their 2009 and 2015 R'Own blend. Would love to come back sometime, try their kuvee, and watch an afternoon pass by. A great little gem of a winery! Just wish it was closer to San Francisco. read more

Great wine, great service, great setting, need I say more? Very warm and inviting hospitality, low key and the epitomy of the Paso Robles wine culture. Walking distance to two other fantastic wineries... Tolo and LeCuvier (until LeCuvier moves). Definitely a must on your wine adventure. read more

We went back to visit Greg at Kiamie last week. We were greeted warmly and tasted some fantastic wines. R'Own Blend is one of our favorites. Such a beautiful rustic setting and Greg is always so entertaining to talk to. Very kid and dog friendly as well. We look forward to our visit next year! read more

Our favorite winery by far. If you are looking for something different from the mega tasting complexes, mediocre wines and non personal experience then this is the place for you. Greg, one of the owners, was our host in a quant shack/shed and it was a special experience. He was so passionate about his wine, enjoyed sharing stories and unselfish with his time. One of their dogs was lying in the middle of the tasting room floor and it was part of the charm of the place. Oh yeah, and there wines are great especially the cuvée. Thank you Greg! I wish them all the success but part of me really hopes it can stay small and charming for years to come read more
