The grounds are amazing and the best part was seeing a ton of peacocks roaming around. Unfortunately, on my visit none of them were fanning their feathers. Hopefully next time! They also have an Air BnB on site that you can stay at. It looked really nice! There's plenty of seating in the courtyard area and you're allowed to bring your own food. We just came for a flight tasting, which is only $20 here. The nice part about the flight is that you also have the option to try ciders. They give you casino like chips here to use for each tasting. Great way to keep track! The reason for the three star rating is the lack of customer service. When I go to a winery, I expect the person pouring the wine to explain each one that I'm tasting. There was no explanation at all. Maybe I should of asked, but it was odd for a winery not to do that. The gentleman that poured didn't look too happy to be there either. I cringed each time I had to walk up to get my next pour. He barely said two words to me and I just got the feeling he was mad or upset about something. I wish I would have gotten his name! The girl that helped in the beginning was kind, but she also never explained each pour. Just a weird interaction overall. Would I return here? Yes! I loved the grounds and the peacocks. The wine was decent and I would like to try the ciders next time, but I'll probably go inside the store where they were also pouring wines. Hopefully they know what they're doing! Overall, a great spot to check out and next time I will make it a point to ask for a description of each pour even though I shouldn't have to.

We are San Luis Obispo locals,. I cancelled our membership after we went in once and the tasting room manager said she couldn't open any new bottles unless We were planning to buy one. It was 1 hour to closing. As locals and members, the owner came out to visit us one day (still had the membership) and gave us a coupon for 2 free tastings. I tried to use said coupon 2 weeks ago only to be told the ABC won't allow for free tastings anymore. Upon further research, I have discovered this is not true. I did like their wines very much in the day, but the lack of service and friendliness will make me avoid all future recommendations. There are plenty of other wineries in the area.

I was actually on the hunt for a…read moreplace to eat, and I noticed that the French restaurant had a sign that said "more shops here." I thought, "That's perfect!" So, I walked over and found this adorable winery that blends their own wines. Trish, one of the owners, was so easy to work with. The products she carries in her store are absolutely adorable. They don't make their own food, but they do collaborate with the Blue Moon Café, and food is delivered directly to their winery, so you can have dinner and enjoy their wine at the same time. I thought that was pretty convenient. If you need to do any birthday or Christmas shopping, or any type of shopping, check her out. Trish does a great job of finding fresh, new items to keep in her store. So, when you're in Avila Beach and want to try something new, I highly suggest you stop in and say hi to Trish. And tell her you read Carina's review and wanted to see her fun items.

Staff was quite friendly and invited us in for a tasting near the end of the day. I can honestly say their wines are quite unique, likely due to soil composition and weather patterns in the area. With that said, their wine is approachable and quite affordable. We ended up walking away with a few bottles in the end as they were quite delicious! Wish we could get some of their wines up north locally, but this just means I need to return at some point!

Our group have easily visited 250+ wineries and many of those we visited several times. We easily qualify as experts in the area of wine tasting. Based on our visit to Biddle Ranch as well as reviews I read the venue does not put an emphasis on hospitality. Our server (not educator) was nice but she seems to not care. Not care about selling wine, promoting or educating us about their wine and frankly or likes or dislikes. This behavior was repeated with other customers she was serving that day. If we are having a great time we reciprocate with numerous wine purchases and a generous tip. We only purchased the minimum to wave our tasting fees and could only justify the very minimum of gratuity. I truly hope management reads this post and invests time in better training their employees. We are in the area often and would love to have a spot to sip some wine before dinner. Based on this visit, I don't think so!
