Where do I start with Tealy and Greg? How about a funny story, that takes their family back to Southern California and Poway, where I grew up. Little did we know that we lived about 10 minutes apart, found this tidbit out a in 2025, while talking to Tealy, who makes the experience at Barr second to none! This has been a favorite stop of my girlfriend, who has been a long time wine club member with Barr, from her days of driving limos for wine tasting, she always talked highly of their wines. Greg does excellent wine, across the board, from a simple Albarino to a more complex Cabernet Sauvignon or 6950 (Referring to the address of the winery), one of my favorites from Barr. The club is wonderful, where there are no added yearly fees, just good wine and discounts on wines, complementary tasting and private tours. One of the few destinations I really enjoy visiting off 46 east. The tasting room is co-located with the production facility, as you drive up through winding vineyards onto the property. The tasting room has indoor and outdoor seating. A small, bar with additional couch seating is available, while there are various Barr related items for sale. Behind the bar is where the magic is. The tasting lineup is very strong and if there are additional bottles open, you could receive a splash of something different. For me, it was the 2013 Grande Finale. Not a big dessert wine fan, but this excellent. I don't believe this is a single wine in our collection, since I've been introduced to Barr that is bad. The entire lineup is exceptional and there is usually something for everyone. for those cooks out there, I do recommend some of their olive oil. Devine! As of this review, I know they are trying to retire... again from the wine industry, hopefully Greg and Teally hang around for a bit longer, they do an excellent job when it comes to wine in Paso Robles. Check them out, I highly recommend a tasting. read more

This gem was not originally on our itinerary, but we decided to pop in towards the end of their tasting room hours. We shared a delightful flight of six red ($20 fee waived with the purchase of one bottle). All six were awesome. It was an intimate setting with a no frills tasting. The winery owner was also present and very knowledge. The white varietals and sparkling were not available this time around. We'd definitely come back when we're in the area. read more

Tealy was great and all of the wines fabulous, especially the Tannat! Darn it we also should have bought the olive oil they make but can't go back now since they are closed tomorrow and we are leaving. We are definitely thinking about joining their wine club since all of the wines were wonderful. read more

Walking up to the winery - a huge grin was on my face as they had primitivo vines out front. The winery is off the beaten path and has amazing bold red wines. Susan was our host and was friendly and attentive. We also had the opportunity to meet the wine maker and his wife who were absolutely wonderful and funny. All the wines we tried were delicious. The 2019 Celestial Delight, Malbec and Tannat were our favorites. We loved the wine and the people, thus we became members. Can't wait to come back! read more

Barr is a gem on E46. It's generally peaceful and lovely put on the patio especially when the wisteria is in bloon and providing shade. We'll behaved pup friendly and the owners are lovely. Barr is a great visit for lovely Paso wines with a focus on reds. It does have albariño and rose but primarily reds. Love a small family owned winery and it's easy to make an appointment by email. read more

We have stopped at Barr estate winery several times while up in Paso Robles on vacation. Their Albariño wine is fantastic and so are their other wines. This is a small mom and pop winery and we've been in the tasting room while the husband comes in off the field and we get to chat with him. Such a nice winery! read more

Excellent wine, very friendly and professional. A great place to sit on the patio and share with friends

We were recommended by Penman Springs to try this place out. This place was a nice hidden gem for red wines. It said by appointment only on yelp so we called to see if we could drop in. The lady said yes. It was empty when we arrived. It was a Thursday around 2pm. The owner is from New Orleans. They have outdoor and indoor tasting. The Cabernet, Jubilador, Malbec, and Grenache rose were all good. But we loved the Cab that was $28. $15 tasting fee but waived if we bought a bottle per tasting. We bought 3 cabs to-go. It's that good, bold, and smooth! Give this place a try if you love reds. You won't be disappointed. One of our favorite wineries besides Calcareous and Penman Springs. I think you can maybe bring snacks if you sit outdoors. I didn't see them sell food. read more

Wonderful, small family owned winery with lovely big red single varietals and a very tasty port! Lovely location and family serve in the tasting room. Hard to choose which wines to purchase since we loved all of them. read more

The lady that served us was very nice but their wines were definitely not up my alley. I would pass on this one!

Barr Winery is such a great place to go, Tealy and Gregg are wonderful people and their wines are amazing, my husband and I love every single wine, my favorites are Malbec, Pettit Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Beautiful winery, great service and wines are excellent and well priced. read more

Love all their wines! Unusual; however it's true! Reds are all so good I can hardly pick a fave. I joined their wine club because of it. Very much enjoy the outdoor patio covered in grapevines (if you visit during the right season for it.) It's a very pleasant setting & real good hospitality. read more

Our second time to visit Barr Estates and we thoroughly enjoyed it again. Their Albarino is smooth and refreshing, and one of the reasons we wanted to visit Barr Estates again. We really liked their rose from Malbec grapes. Tempranillo, the Jubilado (a cab blend), and Petite Syrah are all wonderful. Love that the tasting list had recommended pairings. Tealy (pourer and owner) was delightful and we loved talking with her. Enjoyed every one of their wines and the prices are so very reasonable we left with a mixed case. read more

Barr Estate Winery - Where else can you get six solid wines to tasre for $10? - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

We absolutely love Barr Winery! They are a family run business and they make out of this world wine! Barr Winery is on the Union Road Wine Trail in east Paso Robles. It's a beautiful wine trail worth visiting! read more

We were very excited to visit Barr Estate Winery. It is a quaint place with a low key vibe. All of their wines are fantastic. I love that it is a family owned and run winery. My parents became members and bought a case of wine. I also picked up 3 bottles. They are all fantastic but I do think their Malbec is something special. I hope you stop by and try them out. Check there hours I believe their tasting room is open Fri-Sun. I really should've taken more pictures of the beauty of the vineyard. read more

Barr Estate Winery - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Barr is recommened by other wineries in the area - good reason. It is an up and coming winery specializing in Rhone style wines (not my favorite, but when done well, they are nice). http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/MwGA3S6KiQcGo5V1GlRqxQ?select=hfk78Ht_FRVMbmAt_OB2YQ The husband and wife team were hosting the tasting room and they are engaging folks from New Orleans. All of their wines emphasized spiciness & minerality as they should for the style. We tasted: 2010 Albarino 2007 Jubilado (60% Petite Verdot & 40% Cab Blend) A food wine 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (has 20% Petite Verdot) Tight with minerality emphasized 2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Young, spicy - hard for me to judge 2007 Reserve Petite Verdot Long finish, food wine 2007 Malbec (with Petite Syrah and Cab at 10%) Rounded palate made this the most drinkable of the tasting. Last Act - late harvestSyrah, Touriga and Souzao was very tasty. read more

Barr Estate Winery - Spacious tasting room - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tasting at this family winery. We particularly enjoyed the reds. We ended up buying a bottle of nearly everything we tasted! read more

Highly recommend. Beautiful location. Delicious wines. Friendly staff. Make a reservation. $15 Tasting fee waved if you buy a bottle. Every wine they poured (Albariño, Rosé, Petite Verdot, Merlot, Reserve Cab, Malbec, and Petite Syrah) we truly enjoyed. Sat under the mature wisteria overlooking the vines. read more

What a great place! The price for a bottle and the quality of wine cannot be beat! The owner is one of the servers and is easy to talk to. There story of one day going to Argentina and deciding to open up a winery is the American dream. They are from New Orleans and it was nice to hear there stories. Atmosphere is nice, small to have good service, and an awesome grapevine mounted on the wall. Now the wine! Their passion is Malbec, it's probably in about 75% of the wines and they do a good job with it. Again their prices and quality of wine is a must. I left with 4 bottles under $100 which is such a great deal. I will be definitely be back to enjoy the southern hospitality and to see what else they are doing with Malbec. Salute read more

Fairly new winery making some excellent wine. The wife and I wanted to check out some new places along with old favorites in Paso, we decided to focus on the eastern side as we often go west. This is truly a boutique winery, the only folks behind the counter was the winemaker, his wife and their daughter. Sweet and nice people, no hard sell on the wines just letting speak for themselves. We are not big white wine drinkers but the '10 Albarino was quite refreshing, the perfect picnic wine. I believe it is a Portuguese grape that was crisp and perfect. The reds were great as well. We bought a bottle of the '07 reserve Cab, also tried the regular 07 cab which was excellent as well, but the reserve was that much better. The Jubilado was a blend ofPetit Verdot and Cab and was yummy and jammy. The 07 malbec is delicious and we didn't try the reserve Petit Verdot as it was still being bottled. Finally they have a port called Last Act that was everything you look for in a port, sweet good alcohol content and warming to the insides. That's all they have, but everything was done well and the people making the wine were nice, what more can you ask for. read more

Sometimes you just have a feeeling about a place... We will be back because I believe this winery will be one of the standouts as their reputation spreads. They are only a few years old, but are placing some unique wines on the bar along with the staples. Their winemaker (a UC Davis grad) has done a marverlus job across the board. Usually you're lucky to find one wine or two out of 10 that you like at any winery, and 4 or 5 on the same bar you really would never give a second thought. Not here my friends. Every wine they poured resulted in the four of us getting more and more agitated as we realized that we wanted to buy a bottle of every wine they poured. We had to exercise some serious restraint at 4 pm on a Sunday, as the trunk was already pretty full. Try it.... read more

The property isn't huge but it's quaint and lovely. The staff was friendly but not overbearing. We liked every single wine on their list, including the white and rose which we don't usually drink. I believe we purchased four or 5 bottles. read more

I liked most of the wine they poured and I appreciated the fact that they hold their wine longer and you are tasting wine that has had a chance to develop. I loved the Malbec and purchased a case. Solid 4, would have been a 5 for me if I liked everything they poured as much as I liked the Malbec. read more

Friendly and knowledgeable. The wines are a great value. The grounds are inviting to enjoy your wine. A little off the normal wine routes but worth the drive read more

Fun winery with very knowledgeable staff. When we are out tasting, we are out buying. Took the time to understand our palette and even recommended a wine not on the tasting list. Left with 12 bottles of wine. Great winery for the serious wine buyer. read more

Just stopped by on a recommendation from another winery. Absolutely loved everything! They have a great Albarino!!! The Malbec was fantastic. Petite Verdot and Cab were amazing as well! Great wines at a great price. Definitely worth the stop!!! read more

Winery 3+, wine 4+ = 4...very nice people , nice casual place . Bought a case of wine. I guess we liked it.

What a nice way to end our day. You should stop by and taste the wine. The people running Barr are so nice!!!

***DISCLAIMER: Anything I write in a winery review about the actual wine is based on my personal tastes / opinions / palette and is not intended to be taken as an objective measure of quality or deliciousness. (I would think this is obvious, but apparently not.)*** We really enjoyed the port here -- I wish I could remember what it was called. Something to do with night time? I imagine we'll be back for another bottle or two at some point in the future. Very friendly folks in the tasting room as well. read more

Stopped in on the recommendation of a couple at another brewery. Very beautiful tasting room with a low key, relaxed vibe. They had a patio covered in vines to relax in as well. The wine was great and the staff was great. read more

This wine was ok, nothing special but they are getting two stars because of their customer service. There were 6 of us who visited, and we are all in our 30s. Apparently, we were too young to receive proper service as we watched the other guests get served around us, all who happened to be a quite bit older than us. They didn't tell us about the wine, and gave nasty looks when we asked to revisit wines. I'm not sure if they just assumed we weren't going to buy anything, or what the deal was, but it was quite frustrating. read more

Great wines and absolutely wonderful people. We tasted all of their wines and loved them all. If you are in Paso Robles, I highly recommend you stop at Barr. read more

Fantastic wines in a beautiful atmosphere. Absolutely a must visit on the east side of Paso.

For me, Barr Estate Winery is one of the best in the Paso Robles area (the other one is Broken Earth). The owners work the tasting room and the wine is great in my opinion. We tried and bought the 2009 Malbec, 2008 Jubilado, and the 2009 Petite Sirah (we tried others, but could only take 3 bottles with us). The tasting room service is excellent and their wines are again, excellent, so much so we joined their wine club. read more

Best $25 cab that tastes like a $50 bottle of cab. And great people in the tasting room. My new favorite winery!

Went to this winery on a friend recommendation and it was worth it. Many of the wines were very good for this new winery. We bought a case of the merlot for our friends and a case of the Jubilado, a red wine, for ourselves. Mrs. Barr was behind the bar, she was informative and friendly. We will be back,,, read more

Stopped in based on all great Yelp reviews. It definitely lived up to the 5 stars. They have a very diverse tasting list with many interesting wines. I've never had a Malbec Rose and theirs was amazing. Also the Albarino was fantastic....left with a case of it. The owner was so friendly and a great host. Ended up having our lunch with a glass of wine on their very scenic patio. Great way to spend part of the afternoon read more

Absolutely loved Barr Estate Winery! A true hidden gem making fantastic wines! We especially like their Jubilado and Petit Verdot. Can't wait to visit again. read more

I love this winery. They are very small and family owned. The wine is delicious, with terrific price points. And at $5, the tasting fee is extremely reasonable. This is a winery not to miss. read more

Loved Barr Estate. Not crowded. Very friendly people. A great place to stop if you are going to Steinbeck and Bianchi
