Stopped by on a Saturday evening after having some cocktails in the Hotel SLO lobby. There was plenty of seating when we arrived and the server helped orient guests to the wines available. The wine selection is great and I love that it features local wines. The automated pour system, in theory, is comparable to average tastings (5 pours for about $25) but doesnt beat a live tasting experience, where you can revisit wines, get additional pours, or get slightly bigger pours for free read more

Relaxing and great concept. Came o in here after walking around the dt area, and what a chill place to be. Wine was priced reasonably, and great local options. The sauv blanc was my fav! read more

This places is perfect if you want to just try some wines out and not fully commit. However, it's great if you want to commit too. They offer a taste, half, and full glasses of wine that you are compelled to try. The space is amazing too! I highly recommend sitting outside and watching the day go by. read more

Region - Just a taste - Wine Bars Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

We stumbled across Region while randomly wandering through Downtown SLO. I'm really glad we found this gem of a spot, because now I'm wondering why we don't have more wine tasting rooms with this kind of concept in SoCal! Region brings together wines from around 50 wineries across the Central California coastal region from Monterey to Paso Robles and more on tap, allowing guests to choose from different quantities of pours. It's basically a build-your-own personal wine tasting! Service was friendly and welcoming, with the employees proactive in explaining the set up, answering questions and even giving recommendations. My husband and I enjoyed Region so much we ended up coming twice during our trip and one of the workers was even kind enough to pour us a free tasting of their featured wine of the month. The ambiance is lovely here and it's easy to end up spending a long time here, as there's plenty of open-air seating with heat lamps for the outside when it cools down in the evening. If wine tasting is on your SLO itinerary, I'd definitely recommend making a stop here when you're in the area! read more

What a genius idea it is to have a venue with chill vibes where local winemakers can hold events and showcase their wines for the many of us avid wine-drinkers to enjoy. We had attended, "The French Mafia Takeover" event, hosted by Region in collaboration with L'Aventure, Clos Selène, and Benom. This event was a wine and food pairing prepared by Chef Ryan of Ox & Anchor (San Luis Obispo). Even though it was a small bite pairing, his food certainly packed next level umami! Too good! The staff at Region were all friendly and the host of each winery and vineyard were just superb! The interior is open and airy with inside/outside seating. The bathrooms are super clean too (always bonus points for me, lol!) Blessed to have attended such a wonderful event, enjoying quality wine, and most of all, at an awesome venue! Thanks Region! CHEERS till next time... read more

10/10 for ambiance, friendly service, non-pretentious vibes, and huge selection of wines. I'd been to another spot set up like this but they didn't focus on the regionality like Region does. Their staff helped guide me just enough and let me DIY a bit, too. Had fun chatting with them until the place filled up with other kind patrons. Someone was returning after having just been the night before, so that says everything haha Great selection for all tastes. Next time I'll try some food when I don't already have dinner plans. Thanks y'all read more

Region - What more do you need - Wine Bars Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

My cousins and I were looking for a place to chill and enjoy a glass of wine, and this place provided both. Mckenzie explained to us their wine dispensary and how it worked. We loved that we could chose to taste the wine and get a half or full glass of what we liked. The wines were reasonably priced, and you could see your running balance every time you were dispensed wine. We ordered chips with salsa/guacamole and French fries. Both were tasty. We enjoyed this lounge and would recommend it. read more

Region - A great wine from Region - Wine Bars Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

A hidden gem in SLO! I was looking for a spot to go wine tasting and found region connected to the hotel we were staying at (Hotel SLO). It's a great spot to try out local SLO/ Paso Robles wineries! Yohan gave us an overview of the tasting experience and we opted to get an open tab card to try different wines with. Each machine gives options to pour full glasses, half glasses, or just tastings. It's a great way to try different local wines. The atmosphere is super comfortable, and is the perfect spot for gathering with friends and family. Would definitely reccomend for anyone looking for a local wine tasting experience. read more

Region - Wine Bars Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Love this concept!! Was my first time here with my partner and the employees explained how their tastings work with their card. You basically get a card that you insert into their machines that are connected to different types of wines and you can choose from a tasting size, glass pour or more I believe. And wine is poured on the spot and added to your card. It's a great way to be able to try different wines that you want! The decor is Santa Monica/Venice vibes and the scent was honestly a little too strong for it being a place where you drink wine because I want to be able to smell the notes in the wine more than the air freshener in the air. read more

I truly appreciate the effort of the staff who initially assisted us; our immediate server was kind and engaged, which set a positive tone at the start. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not maintain that same level of attentiveness. As for the wine, it was disappointing. The selections we tried tasted flat and lacked the character we had expected from a winery experience. Given the reputation and potential of the establishment, this was disheartening. In the future sharper quality control is a must given that some wines lack of consistency. While I understand that service can ebb and flow on a busy day, consistency matters--every guest should feel equally welcomed and valued. With more attentiveness from the winemaker and greater follow-through from the staff, the experience could easily elevate to match the promise of the venue. I hope the establishment takes this feedback constructively, as the foundation is there for something special, it just wasn't fully realized during our visit. read more

First things first, the tasting room is such a vibe. So pretty. Loved the concept! Very fun way to try different wines. First timer here so the lady was very patient and helpful with giving our group a proper tutorial. Big selection of wines but defo more reds than whites. Parking garage right next to it, so very easy to get to. They are in the slo hotel building but aren't part of the slo hotel. They are their own business. I think they had specials though where you can order food from slo hotel restaurant piadina. But we opted for some cheeseboards and it was a lovely way to spend a few hours with friends. read more

Absolutely love the atmosphere of this place! Such a great spot for a date night or girls night. Also had a really great selection of local wines, so you're guaranteed to find something that you like. We got the charcuterie and it was amazing! Great selection of meats and cheeses, and tons of flavors on the board. Would definitely order it again. The girls working at the bar were super helpful and took time to explain how everything works and answer any questions we had. It's definitely easy to spend money here because you want to taste everything!! Overall, excellent wines and a really fun experience. Will be back :) read more

What a wonderful tasting room, that is elevated to a tasting experience with an exceptional staff and almost unlimited options of SLO county wines. By happenstance we saw this place during Cal Poly graduation weekend. Such a wonderful vibe that felt relaxed, comfortable and inviting. Often tasting rooms can feel pretentious or stand offish. However, Region makes you feel like you are visiting a friend's home and enjoying amazing varietals from the surrounding area. From the music, to the stemware and the comfortable atmosphere it just feels inviting and a place you want to share with family and friends. A huge thank you to Zoe for taking such amazing care of our party, she was super patient as we tried countless bottles and once she knew our flavorful profiles she handcrafted the tasting based on each persons palette. We will definitely be back, this place is too special not to share. read more

Was amazing. The host was on point with every. Food was delicious. Was a nice feel and place.

I have never been to a wine bar quite like this one before and I loved it! Being able to pick your own drink at your own time is such a unique experience in SLO. The workers were also very kind to us and let us stay a bit past closing so we could finish our wine! Highly recommend you stop by & have a glass or two of wine if you are in SLO! Very beautiful as well, perfect patio area if you want to sit outside. read more

A change of pace from a typical wine bar, region uses Wine Station tech to offer a "wine on tap" tasting experience. You can opt for a taste, half or full glass and pay as you go. They had around 25 different wines to try all sourced from local wineries. It's a really cool experience and a great way to try many different types of wine. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful too! The one minor drawback is that the taste option is a very small portion and could be increased slightly for the price you pay. read more

Region - Wine Bars Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

As a frequent wine taster I'm just not used to pay $4 to $6+ for a sip of wine. Usually I go to a winery and get free tastes to help me decide what I like and then buy half of a case or more. At other SLO wine bars, we also get free tastes to then decide which wines we like to then order glasses or even bottles. The glass prices were also very high for SLO County wines. I was familiar with many of the available wines since I am a member of those wineries. And often the prices of wines are higher at wineries than at retail establishments. Here they were higher than at the wineries. As for the ambiance, it was incredibly loud. With so many other options in SLO, there is no reason to come here. read more

In the mix of downtown and with options for any kind of wine you could dream of for a sip a taster or a glass at your own pace...yes please!!! Indoor and outdoor comfortable stylish seating and friendly service both times I've gone:) read more

This place was so unique and so fun! I heard about this place through Yelp I believe and so while we were in Slo,my husband and I decided to try it out. Everyone working there was very sweet and informative:) instead of a just a regular tasting room experience,this one is more interactive which is different but neat! Katie was very sweet and kind and helped us with any questions we had :) she also recommended some great wines! Very reasonable and they also serve food! read more

I love the concept of this tasting room! We stumbled upon Region when we were looking for a tasting room to start off our night. Once we were inside, we were pleasantly surprised to find a wall full of self-served wine. Once we signed up and was given a charge card (tied to a credit card), we were off to try out different types of wine by swiping our charge card. We enjoyed a few local wines without having to go to different wineries. The place is beautifully constructed with an indoor-outdoor space. read more

This place has a great selection of wine. Something for everyone. Also great hospitality from Zoe :)

Came here to have a drink before dinner and we're so glad we did! They are a new, modern wine bar. The staff are super friendly and happy! The wall is lined with taps of reds, whites, roses and champagnes. There are so many options to choose from and the screen above the tap describes the wine and tells you how much the bottle costs. The wall art explains that there are different subsections in Slo/Paso which I never knew. I'm so glad Slo added this to the downtown area. There is a parking structure across the street so that isn't a problem. The shop is right in the heart of downtown so you can walk around all the shops and restaurants. read more

Meh, not your typical wine bar experience. Staff just gave you a piece of paper with wine descriptions and told you to fill your glass as you please with the automated wine pours. No real personable wine tasting experience. read more

We had a very nice evening at Region. It's an attractive space with both indoor and outdoor options. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and engaged. We interacted with four different people and all were fun and personable. The automated wine distribution is an interesting idea. You leave a credit card at the host station and they give you a card to activate the automated wine dispensers. The serving come in three sizes: taste, half glass, and full glass. As another reviewer noted, it's unusual to pay $3-4 every time you get a taste of a wine. That reviewer also noted that the prices for a half glass and full glass were high. I'm visiting California and this is my first wine bar on this trip. The prices felt high to me too, but I don't know what competitors are charging. The charge per taste did limit the number of wines I tried. I understand why they wouldn't give free tastes, but there's probably a middle ground between current pricing and free. Also, the system doesn't really encourage drinking more than a glass when you're out with people because it felt strange to get up from the table whenever a glass was empty. We ordered a cheese plate that had good variety of foods, though I would have preferred less variety and more cheese and crackers. Overall a fine evening. Got to try some new wines in a comfortable space and enjoyed interacting with the staff. I'm not as sold on the automated distribution system, but it did enable a large number wines to be offered. I'd probably enjoy it more if I was alone, but the space was set up for groups. read more
