My girlfriends and I went on a tour and stopped by here. The place is great, feels like you just stepped into someone's house. The staff is super sweet and knowledgeable. My friends and I don't know a ton about wine, but that didn't matter to the girls who worked there. They explained everything to us without the slightest bit of wine snobbery, which I expected from any kind of connoisseur. My favorite was the Lone Wolf, it's a great blend. Prices are beyond reasonable. I would definitely go back! read more

Seems to be a popular choice for visitors to the Paso Robles area, yet HIGHLY overrated in terms of service and experience. While the atmosphere (look of the tasting room and view) are great, expect inattentive, disengaged wine pourers and unpleasant food staff. We were given about half a swallow of wine per pour (if that) and the pourer didn't even bother to tell us about what we were tasting. "Here's the first red," for some reason left me wanting...go figure!? One of those places where pourers fail to take you seriously and brush you off the moment they lay eyes on you. Waited about 50 minutes for food from a server who seemed like she had better things to do. What a disappointment. Definitely going to pass on Grey Wolf and their (apparently) associated Tooth and Nail winery in the future. read more

We stopped in mid-week for a tasting and Shelley was very knowledgeable and fun! We bought a mixed case of wine and really love it. The Zincab is a great value at $20 and in fact we just drank a "Tundra" last night, which was delicious! read more

Yum. Fun winery. Great tasting room. Good wine. I think the Grey Wolf Lineage is excellent. Outside seating...Lots of shade.

Very friendly tasting room, and they do have a cute dog, who is fun to play with, tho. And they have wine here, too. But they were just too concentrated for my taste. Next. read more

Been a club member for years and always love to stop at this winery when in the area. Great little place and the staff is always so welcoming read more

Barton's Kitchen Window - So lovely - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Grey Wolf is an excellent winery worthy of high recognition.We belong to their wine club & truly enjoy every wine on each shipment. We've been members for a few years; and besides their quality of fine wines, we appreciate their friendliness & courtesy. AND THEY REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS. Shipments always arrive as scheduled with very friendly, professional service & the packaging is excellent. We highly recommend Grey Wolf Cellars. Dan & Sharon P San Ramon, California read more

I was extremely unimpressed with the service. The woman who was pouring for us was unfriendly and inefficient. I will not be returning. However, the people who work the cafe in the back were great. The food was wonderful. read more

If you go to Target and leave with wall art that says "live,laugh, love" you'll like this place. Sort of that fake, modern south feel. Seems sort of cheap - not my vibe. Wine is nothing special, food wasn't good either. read more

What an awesome experience. We came in with a group and we were treated fantastically. The wine is excellent. Try the Zinfandel. Please ask for Katie. She was very knowledgeable, personable, and fun. Ask for food pairing ideas. . read more

OMG the truffle fries! And I usually hate truffle oil. Also the award winning steak Mac and cheese cannot be missed. The tritip sandwich is perfect read more

See all

So so so tasty. Had the chili and the ramen, it was amazing! Wine is great too and the services was wonderful during our tasting. Unfortunately the quinoa salad was just quinoa and some cranberries, nothing too exciting but overall a really nice place to grab lunch if you're in the area wine tasting. read more

Beautiful family run winery, the tasting room is adorable and cozy, feels like grandma's house. There are tons of photos of the family, their dogs and historically lush bearded men. When you first arrive you're greeted with a lovely pooch who (its) told was left in the area and runs out to each car in hopes of finding it's family. It's a very Joe Dirtesque tale. I enjoyed the wines and perusing the grounds and the barn where 'the magic happens'. The Predator was my favorite, probably because I have a new found love for Syrahs. All the wines have fun names like Southpaw, Jackal, Big Bad Wolf, etc. and are as tasty as they are whimsical. read more

Big and bold, yet balanced, blends of red wines served in a little farmhouse just off 46 West. While their stuff can get expensive in a hurry, their cheaper blends are very tasty and a great deal. Well worth the stop! read more

This was our first trip to a winery in Paso. We had such a great time we will be going back for sure. Mariana was doing our tasting, she is GREAT! She taught us so much about the different wines, grapes and how they are harvested. Plus she is just a very sweet pleasant person! Se made our experience so wonderful we signed up for the wine membership before we left. Our favorite; the Barton label wines. read more

Amazing wine topped only by the cheerful and extremely proficient Katie at the bar. She tells us she's only been here three weeks, but she sounds like she's been here for years. Knows all the breakdowns of all the wines and their pairings. I was so impressed by her ability to handle the entire bar packed with people and still make everyone feel that she was attentive to their needs. She remembered which wine everyone was on and a smile never left her face. We've been wine club members here for years and always enjoy picking up our wine so we can get the latest tastes. This time it was Barton's The Dance and Grey Wolf's Lineage that hit the homerun. Congratulations to the Barton's on having such insightful hiring abilities. Katie will certainly boost your sales and boost your clients smiles! read more

We love the grey wolf wines! Came here on a great day where we had a wonderful time sitting outside and enjoying the views. Loved that they are dog friendly because we had our fur ball in tow. We ended up signing up for their membership bc we loved the wine and the ambiance of this cute lil winery. Did not try the Barton wines when we were there. Food was yummy! read more

Overall, it was just okay. The location is great and is probably much more fun in the summer time. The service was friendly but not at all exciting. Wines were forgettable. read more

Great mix of red and whites, including styles I'd never heard of before. The fact that there's AMAZING food, great wine, and a cool distillery all in one place makes this one of the coolest places to visit in the Paso Robles / Cambria area. Sierra at the wine tasting room and Alice were very informative and cool! Thank you so much! read more

They make some of my favorite Paso wines, including Trapper (tempranillo), Soulmate (syrah blend), and Tundra (petit sirah blend). I'm not a big fan of their zins or cabs, which is odd because those seem be touted as their specialties. They are a bit too on the sweet, fruitbomb side for me. The tasting room is very homey, and the dog will probably greet you on the doorstep if he isn't sleeping inside on the couch with the cat. They have a few items for sale without overdoing it...just the necessities like t-shirts and waiter's keys. The tasting room people are always extremely nice. I've been a club member for a couple of years now, and they throw a good party for us a couple of times a year. Joe is a cool guy to talk to. There are a couple of reasons I don't give them 5 stars, though, both having to do with the wine club. First, as I mentioned previously, I love about half of their wine and am not so crazy about the other half. On the times I've been able to pickup my shipment, this hasn't been an issue, because they would let me choose the bottles I wanted; but I'm not always able to do that. The other issue is the billing. I'll see a charge on my credit card without having received any notification that there is a release. One time i didn't look at my statement for a few months and finally got an email saying "Come pickup your wine! It's been here for months!" It would be nice to get some notification that there is an upcoming release, what it will consist of, and when you will be billed. I get that they're a family operation but this does bug me. Which reminds me, I just saw a charge from Grey Wolf last month which means I'll have to plan a trip up. Things could be worse! read more

This is a quaint winery out in Paso Robles. The tasting was reasonably priced and our server was friendly. The wine maker happened to be in so we got to taste 2 wines not on the tasting list which was awesome. It felt a little rushed (maybe because it was close to closing time) but other than that it was a great stop. read more

Very welcoming crew, especially since I showed up ten minutes before closing. Cozy and casual with excellent wine and great music. The Sentinelle white blend is a real stand out. It's a shame it last long when I get it home. read more

Beautiful patio good wine and great food. Don't leave with out trying the Mac and cheese

Bar like experience--not a a tasting room. THREE DIFFERENT people just poured it and walked away when you bought the tasting. No description on flavors or the grapes. They actually left us waiting for awhile at the bar and when we asked for a description of the wine her reply was "I don't know bc I don't like this one." Fantastic. Not a great experience when you are wine tasting. read more

Sells wonderful wines under their Barton label. Their varietals are superb and the blends are to-die-for. Their big wine is called "The Dance" and WOW is often heard when people were tasting it. It will be difficult to try these wines without taking one or two bottles with you. Put Grey Wolf on your MUST VISIT list. read more

The wines are good, but their business practices indicate that they really don't care for their members or customers. As a result, both my best friends and I just withdrew our club membership, because while we all enjoyed their wines, the following chain of events disgusted us. We attended their annual dinner, and as a thank you, paid for our two guests as well. From the moment we arrived, the appetizers consisted of a stingy plate of cheese and salami, but no crackers or anything else. And there were probably about 75 guests, and just two 12" trays of cheese; one inside, the other outside. I mentioned to the server that they were out of crackers and he responded "oh, we don't have any". The wine they served was good, but the pour was about one ounce. That was a sign of things to come, because all of their pours that evening were one ounce in size. The dinner was equally stingy, with a bizarre street-taco-sized main dish of some shredded lamb over pureed cauliflower. Yuck! But here's what triggered our membership withdrawal. When we visited the winery two weeks ago, and mentioned the dinner to see if they had plans to change there was no indication that there was concern or interest in the feedback. So I wrote them an email last week, and all they gave me was "sorry you had a bad experience at the harvest dinner. We have cancelled your membership immediately". Wow! How does that sound? And this is a direct email quote from them! So no point in making suggestions or issuing a complaint. No concern or interest for their customer...especially a member-customer. So, while their wines are good, until their business practices shows some concern and care, they are off my list and I will be sure my Paso-frequenter-friends know that as well. There are MANY other fine wines in Paso, such that Greywolf/Barton really can't afford to be so arrogant. Too bad... read more

I've spent one weekend in Paso Robles. I've spent two weeks in Napa. I've spent at least a month in the Solvang/Santa Barbara country. I've gotten lost on the hot, hot Temecula highway too many times, but I'd never admit it. And yes, I know this Joe who trades. So, what do I remember of my Paso trip, on my birthday two years ago? Well, I remember that I got in a hot tub with my grandparents when they were frisky. But this is neither here nor there. Mostly, I remember how warm and inviting Grey Wolf Cellars was. As inconspicuous as it was hidden along the road out to Justin, the theoretical behemoth as far as wine travelers are concerned, it was not inconspicuous with its wines. Yes, they were quite flavorful, and if you like strong reds, well, make a point to stop; but please, don't confuse what I call a strong red with what you call a strong red. These are not $2-$15 wines. And don't read this if you are a white lover, I don't like whites. These are wines, to quote a lovely couple whom I met that day said, "that you forget about for 5 years, drink, and then scold yourself for 5 hours because you had not hidden away some more somewhere in the house." While you are there, you might be able to enjoy the dog and cat show. The cat usually just sits there, but the dog will look for some attention if you happen to be in the attention giving mood. Grey Wolf is about as charming a winery as I found in Paso - and much like movies, I prefer the indies over the biggies any day. read more

Great wines and great atmosphere. Checked this place out last weekend after some recommendations and glad we did! Savannah was great in taking care of us and remembered us when we came back the next day! Joined the wine club as well which gives us even more reason to comeback often!!!! read more

Great experience! Sierra was very professional. She knew her wines. Gave great explanations. Very friendly great atmosphere. Overall great time. Oh yes and we bought the wine. read more

Beautiful, large, country-style tasting room with a great view of the neighboring vineyards. This was our first stop on a wine tour of the West side of Paso Robles. They are known for their Zinfandels and I fell in love with their "Predator" blend. Yummm! We took home a bottle and learned that they rarely ever use the same blend twice. So next year, the delicious Predator might taste completely different. I look forward to tasting the next vintage. read more

We found ourselves there not knowing it was a tasting weekend- and that wasn't the best experience. Liked it- didn't love it- but the wine glasses are the best and our new favorites. I'd try it again when there was a slower day- one guy was hanging out and talking like there was nobody waiting, and it left the other lady covering too many people to be able to talk with anyone. Nice people, nice patio. read more

Many great wines and a small but outstanding kitchen with small menu and GREAT food prepared by Chef Jeffry of Jeffry's Catering. read more

Barton's Kitchen Window - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

We went to the tasting room but were quite disappointed. They were completely out of everything except their Zinfandels. We weren't really interested in tasting those but the lady was going to charge us for a tasting anyway. I think I would have just closed the place. The lady was nice but....it was kind of a waste of time. read more

Bought a bottle of the Big Bad 2008. Good wine, combo of reds. $30 bottle.

Small hidden winery off the 46. Very nice staff with some good wines. Unfortunately the wines are too expensive for us to purchase, but they have some $15-20 wines that we took his word on. They were not available for tasting, but the Grey Wolf blend turned out to be great! read more

We love everything about this winery! The quality of the wines (the Grenache is a FAV), the food at the walk up window AND the people are ALL AMAZING! Joe & Jenny Barton, along with everyone that works in the tasting room radiate true and genuine hospitality. We LOVE this place! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: After 2 lousy wine tastings near Cambria, coming to Grey Wolf was the treat I needed. All of their wines are outstanding and the tasting itself is worth the trip. The lady behind the bar was knowledgeable, personable and a reader of people. Plus, she knew she had the good stuff. Well worth the time and effort to get here and be sure to take some home with you to remember what a good time you had there! read more

Highly recommend that you make an effort to visit Grey Wolf Winery anytime you are headed South from Paso Robles or on your way to Cambria. Very friendly family with great wine tastings at reasonable prices. My wife thinks their Chardonnay is the best. You will enjoy your stop for sure, not only the wine tasting but the friendly Barton family. read more

Only $2 to taste, so I'll rate them a bit higher just because it's so cheap, but nothing I found worth buying. All generally on the simple, disappointing side. The best was probably their sauvignon blanc, which had an off-putting nose, but very nice varietal flavor with hints of citrus among pleasant herbal notes. read more

Don't bother the wine is too commercialized and flat. You will mostly be disappointed. And the lady behind the bar who spends all her time flirting with the married men instead of explaining the mediocre wine won't add much to your trip. It's bad when I would rather pay for two tastings then pay for a bottle. But like most things the people you interact with make the experience and this lady just made it bad as we put her out by showing up. read more
