They provide crackers and also offer charcuterie, but you're welcome to bring your own food as well. Definitely a place we'd visit again!

We checked in and were treated to a tasting of their Zinfandel Nouveau upon arrival while they got out table ready... nice and refreshing for a warm afternoon. We were seated in the separate dining room building across the patio with lovely panoramic views of the vineyards on one side and a floral garden on the other. Josh, our server, poured our 4 other shared tasting flight as we perused the menu... Chardonnay, Grenache, Syrah and Super Paso (red blend). Wines were all lovely, but our favorites were the Zinfandel Nouveau and an extra treat pour of Zinfandel. The food was delightful too... * Focaccia with Avocado Butter -- So good (and I don't usually indulge in bread). Nice lightly crunchy crust with soft chewy centers. * Marinated Olives * Golden beet salad with arugula, picked onions and artichoke feta dip -- yum, and perfect dipping to finish off the focaccia. * Fresh Grilled Halibut with a mole Blanco sauce -- Fresh caught from nearby Morro Bay. Perfectly grilled, moist and flavorful. Excellent! Good food paired with food wine, great service, and beautiful surroundings...We look forward to visiting again.

The place is very busy. We opted for a wine tasting with lunch. They offered 5 wines and proper tasting pours. When we were seated, water was quickly served and we ordered their House-made Sourdough Focaccia which was served with lavender butter and lavender salt. That was very tasty - the lavender butter and salt worked well with the bread. My wife ordered the Duck Confit and I ordered the Bucatini Pasta which featured Mighty Cap Mushrooms. The sauce was very rich and flavorful. The pasta was cooked properly, and the mushrooms were just so good. The Duck Confit was similar - the duck leg was cooked properly, and worked great with the Heirloom tomatos and plum, all of which sat on a wild rice salad. You can skip the wine tasting and order drinks or wine off the menu if you want. Take a moment to walk around the grounds, look up at the ceiling work. They have have a shop with some neat winery stuff. Staff and service were excellent, and the menu and the food were outstanding!

It's a cute winery but non-descriptive. We sat outside and it was pretty windy so we had our jackets on And there was a cover overhead.

She did an excellent job explaining the wines and not rushing us. I was impressed with the wines so I joined the wine club. Their wines are reasonably priced and tasting fee is $30 per person but if you buy a bottle of wine it's waved.

Mr. Gino came and sat with us for a while and had us very entertained with all his wonderful stories . He is always so kind and welcoming. My husband and I enjoyed all of the wines we tasted. We decided to bring home the 2022 Zinfandel, 2019 Malfada and the 2018 Tre Sorelle. In all honesty you can't go wrong with any of their wines. If you want to escape to Italy without having to fly all the way to Italy I recommend you come here and taste all of their great wine and get some great stories from Mr. Gino. Can't wait for our next visit.

In addition, the new owners have acquired another winery close by and plan to open a restaurant and sister the two wineries! Double the tastes? We were very fortunate to be offered many library wines and older vintages.

The setup feels very personal, with individual staff members taking the time to explain each wine and the different varietals and blends. One of the most fun and unique parts of the tasting was a blind tasting they included after we had tried a few of their wines. You're given a list and challenged to identify the wine based on the varietals and characteristics you've just been learning about. It was a fun, interactive way to test your palate and learn more about wine along the way. Law focuses primarily on Rhône-style wines, with Syrah and Grenache playing a strong role throughout their lineup. My husband really enjoyed the wines, while this tasting helped me realize that I personally prefer more Bordeaux-style wines and Cabernet-based reds. The setting is peaceful, elegant, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and very informative. We also saw a dog enjoying the outdoor area, so it appears to be a nice option for those traveling with a pup. Even though the wine style wasn't necessarily my personal favorite, we really enjoyed the experience. It's a great place to learn more about wine, discover what varietals you enjoy, and experience a beautiful, intimate Paso Robles tasting.
