The team at Tlo does an excellent job of making you feel welcome, they've really done a great job at creating an atmosphere of community. Each time I go in to pick up my wine order or a tasting, I almost always come out having had a delightful conversation with one of my fellow neighbors. The wine, of course, is excellent. I can't recommend the Tempranillo enough. But even the Chardonnay is great, and this is coming from a red wine connoisseur. There's indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of room for larger groups. Do stop in and say hello, because at Tlo, you'll probably make a friend or two over a great glass of wine. read more

Great new wine expert! The flight was lovely, and every wine came with learning! We loved the experience and bought a bottle to go and one that we decided start there ;) read more

The best local winery in bakersfield. We came on a Thursday afternoon and did the tasting menu which was $30 a person but was full of delicious wines and our hostess gave us generous pours. We sat in comfy chairs in the back and had a relaxing date, we bought 2 bottles of the visko which was so smooth and flavorful and covered one of our tastings. Top notch wine and tasting room atmosphere! read more

Omg! Swear I'm sooo excited about having a wine tasting room here in Bakersfield! And this location?! It's perfect and in the heart of downtown Bako. The old dream center building is so modern and has an industrial look to it. Perfect for a winery. My companion and i chose the reserve tasting sampler and were very impressed with it. Tasting is $15 for regular pour and $20 for the reserve tasting. Visko blend and the Pinot were definitely my favorite! If i hadn't had dinner reservations, i would've purchased a bottle and sat down to enjoy it! Definitely had great service and i plan on coming back on the weekend to enjoy the afternoon sipping on some yummy red! read more

This is a real gem in downtown Bakersfield. It's a cool spot to hang out. The wine in general is very light bodied and easy to drink. That makes it nice for non-wine snobs. If you're into big Paso and Napa reds, you might find it too delicate...until the blazing Bako summer hits. Prices are quite reasonable. The staff is great. Mark is our normal server and he's great at his job and knows the wine well. We joined the club. It's a nice break from the norm in Bako. Check it out! read more

I'm not a huge wine drinker and this is honestly the first time I've ever gone wine tasting and this place was awesome! I came here for a Yelp Elite event, got some swag and had a great time! Thanks again to Mckenzie and Tlo Wines for setting up this event for the Yelp Elite community! I really enjoyed the vibe of the place as it's very relaxed and you can sit with several friends and enjoy a few glasses of wine and some apéritifs! They had us try four of their wines. 1 white and three reds. I particularly enjoyed the 2017 Petit Sirah as it was what I'm used to when I drink wine when I do. I prefer red wines and this was very light and crisp. Definitely my favorite of the bunch! They also brought us a a carafe of water to accompany the wine to keep us hydrated. My server was awesome and very informative and gave me the background of each one. I didn't even know this place was owned by Croatians and that Croatia made wines! So cool! Although I am total amateur at drinking wines, I really enjoyed my time here. The service was great and I felt very relaxed. I would definitely come back here and try it again! I guess I have to expand my horizons and go to Paso Robles and embark on some wine tasting! Highly recommended! read more

Great vibes. Bakersfield needs more places like this to revitalize the downtown even more.

It's a fun little oasis downtown for tasting some fantastic wine. Avery is super knowledgeable, the tasting menu is great. The wine? Pretty fantastic. It's a cool, clean place with live music and a fun atmosphere. If you love wine, hit TLO and gain some knowledge while supporting a local family business! All that being said, don't expect food. While they do offer some charcuterie at times, it's not always available or sold out. But don't let that deter you, there's loads of places to eat downtown. Come in before dinner, then stop by after too! read more

Bakersfield has seen fantastic growth in the local beer scene, but wine is notably absent. This is fair, as we're located in a table grape growing region, and Paso Robles is a mere 90 minutes away. My husband and I were intrigued when we heard of a local wine tasting room opening up. We hold memberships to several Paso wineries and wanted to see if a more local option was now available. I certainly wouldn't call us wine experts - really, wine is all about personal taste and service. We walked in with open minds and left convinced Bakersfield had a new hot spot on its hands. While the wines are produced from grapes grown elsewhere, it speaks volumes about the winemakers when they choose to open their tasting room in their hometown. The building itself adds to the list of restored architectural gems. Walking in, the first thing we noticed was the open tasting bar with ample space to shoulder up to the bar. Original tiles adorned the bar front and the ceiling, bringing a nice vintage vibe to an otherwise open, modern space. Behind the bar are several tables and booths, with a separate room that could easily accommodate a large party (8-10). We chose spots at the tasting bar and waited to go through the flight. Wine flights were reasonably priced ($15), with moderate pours and lots of friendly chatter with the staff. At the end of our flight, we grabbed a couple glasses to enjoy at a table. The staff was friendly, but not overly attentive - it's a nice balance when you're hoping to just enjoy a glass with a loved one. Tlo wines were pretty balanced, and fall in line with a lot of other wines we've tasted in Paso Robles. Since we visited, we've joined their wine club and gifted several bottles with the very generous 25% discount. Since opening, they've also added a tasty cheese pairing put together by Locale Farm to Table. Stop in before a Condors game or dinner downtown to get a taste of the far east version of Paso Robles - you won't be disappointed. read more

Just a good environment to relax and enjoy a glass of wine with some good music. I went on a Saturday evening and there was live music, there wasn't a lot of seating but it was fast seating with reservations. Decent service, decent music and decent environment. read more

Went on 2nd Saturday and you can get the wine club pricing if you mention 2nd Saturday. Tried a wine flight the pours are a little light. I asked them to choose for me and I found a new favorite for my Thanksgiving table. The parking lot set up works and I can't wait to get back for a new favorite. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this place hidden little gem in Bakersfield. We travel to Paso often but always love the option to hit up TLO every few months since it's in town. The wines are moderately priced and they have a great selection of white and red. We are members and have been going for a few years now. read more

Overall very lackluster of an experience. Not only was the wine just ok, but the pricing was significantly higher than the quality of wine. For a $30 wine tasting, you expect a certain quality of service and amount of wine, but we barely received any explanation of wine notes or tasting and it quite literally was two sips of wine per pour. We would not return. It was too expensive for the experience/wine we were given. read more

What a find! We're from Temecula (the other wine country) and are on the look out for good wine anywhere we travel. Tlo wines are a hidden gem! The tasting was delicious. We love the Malbec...you have to try it. Not one wine in our tasting was bad...each one was exceptional! And what a great story of how this winery came about. Treat yourself and go to Tlo Winery...you won't be disappointed. read more

I absolutely love this place!!! I've been here a handful of times, and I've always had a wonderful experience. The employees are very knowledgeable about their product, and they're happy to discuss the selections with you. Inside the building is very industrial and rustic modern (if that makes sense). There are several seating options - booth, tables, couch. I've tried the sangria and the wines on the "Classic" side of their list. Every. Single. Wine. Is. Delicious. I've had quite a few wine flights in my day, and I can genuinely say that this is the first flight I've tried where I enjoyed the taste of every included wine! Check this place out on thursdays for trivia night! read more

Tlo has the best wine out there! They have low sulfates which doesn't leave for headaches and hangovers like many other brands do. I love that they are local and have a lovely wine tasting room. Also, shout out to Thursday Night Trivia! I went with my best friend and mom during one of their themed evenings and we had such a blast. There had to have been 10 teams of 2-4 people each. We all had the best time. Cannot wait to go back again. read more

This place was A-MAZING! Definitely a fun environment with a delicious array of wines. They made planning a 13 person visit so easy and everyone who works here was so nice! Will definitely be coming back and definitely right on the money with recommendations from other people read more

Really cute place. Friendly staff. I love the Gifting Wall. The variety is limited, the prices are a bit high, but otherwise, good.

We were in town for only one evening, but this was definitely the highlight of our night! The hostess's were very welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful...AND the wine was delicious. We ended up buying two bottles and will definitely stop in again when in town....or just passing through. read more

Just go. The space , the atmosphere , the wine , the people , the live entertainment . A must

Came here with a couple girlfriends on a sunny Saturday recently. I had never been before but a friend had. The decor is so stinking cute; I really dig the urban meets chic vibe they have. Think: exposed bricks, hanging industrial lights, but modern seating. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable and not pushy. My biggest pet peeve when wine tasting! I liked the wines well enough but was not crazy about them, but we really enjoyed the experience and trying something new for a Saturday afternoon. We can't wait to come back to try the cheese pairing. I hear those glorious words "cheese and wine pairing" and I come running! read more

This place has quickly become one of our favorites! Not just because of the wine which is amazing! But also the people who work there! We have come to know most of them by name-Mark, Kai, Avery, Kathleen, Andy, and Anthony (sorry if I missed anyone). All of whom are extremely welcoming and they treat you like one of their own! Highly recommend TLO for date night as well! Can't stress how great this place is! -The Kirks read more

A growing boutique wine producer making some of the best red and white gold and silver award winning wines in California. Reasonably priced for its quality on par with Napa Valley wines. Marvelous tasting room in downtown Bakersfield. The wine master is from a long time grape growing family in Kern County. It is truly a family affair in running the business from producing the wine to enjoying the fine varietals and blends in their tasting room. Friendly, nice and down to earth, local people to deal with. Don't worry if your wine knowledge is limited! They have an excellent and knowledgeable staff to help you select wines matched to your tastes. While you are there, learn about food pairing with wines. Also, you may want to check out their two tier wine club offering three times a year. It's a great way to try some new wine releases and save 25% off the retail price of Tlo wines at the same time. The Tlo tasting room has a lot of events going too, with Thursday Night Trivia and Saturday night live local music and themed evenings with food pairings and Tlo wines. Great place to take a date - check it out!I It's pronounced, "Tlo - just like hello!" read more

Small selection of wines, but very tasty. The tasting is a good value. Beautiful ambiance. We will come back.

We think of family and in some cases, it's confined to those around you. Your mother, father, sister, brother... aunt...uncle, maybe. Often, however, we forget that there exists a *chosen* family consisting of friends, friends of friends, passers by we see every day, or the the unexpected yet welcome connection with a fellow human being. Tlo wines has been on my radar for some time now, but on this day, April 10, 2019, after a few failed attempts at having an ordinary night on the town, we strolled into a quiet night (by industry standards) and had one of those memorable, "all-to-myself" experiences. We were welcomed by a new, but warm staff member who helped us feel right at home. One of the co-owners strengthened the bond by drawing connections to how our degrees of separation were closer than expected. Moreso, by allowing us to linger, which, by industry standards, makes you feel like royalty... I realized: this place is one of those places that you always remember fondly. It will come up in conversation with colleagues and you'll shamelessly plug it. It stays in the back of your mind when you're sipping on that 2-buck-chuck from Vons. You drive a little further because you know you'll feel welcome. You'll feel like you're part of the community--the family. (Belated) Congrats on this incredible spot! LOVED the cab. Can't wait for another glass. It's what I needed. Cheers read more
