If you're deciding between wine tasting in Paso Robles or Edna Valley, make sure Biddle Ranch in Edna Valley is on your list. The atmosphere is beautiful, the wine is outstanding, and the overall experience feels relaxed, authentic, and unpretentious. We visited with a group of 11, and Paige did an incredible job taking care of us. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made each tasting engaging by sharing interesting background and tasting notes for every wine. Her attentiveness and professionalism helped make the experience memorable for everyone in our group. A huge thank you to Paige and the Biddle Ranch team. We had an amazing time and will absolutely be back! read more

Biddle Ranch Vineyard - Courtyard - Wineries Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I've been to several wineries and Biddle Ranch was unfortunately unremarkable for me. The grounds are pretty and there is plenty of outdoor seating. The employees are knowledgeable and attentive. They had a small menu of food items for purchase while supplies lasted. I did the $30 wine flight and none of the wines stood out to me. The wine the employee said was her favorite tasted very sour to me and I could not finish drinking the pour. There was nothing about Biddle Ranch that left me wanting to come back for more. This winery will not be on my list to revisit. read more

You can't beat Biddle Ranch. I've stayed on-site here (highly recommend), my best friend got married here, and the wine tasting experience and views are truly unmatched. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and great at reading the room...they keep the descriptions short, sweet, and engaging without being overwhelming. Good luck leaving without becoming a member! read more

This place was okay. Make sure to make a reservation if you decide to go, we got there and though there were plenty of seats available, they said that those were reserved (the seats remained empty for our whole visit). One good thing about this place was the wine was good and although the other staff wasn't very friendly, our waitress was really nice and did a great job at explaining the different wines. We ordered the classic flight and i'd say it was worth it. The one thing I was disappointed on was this $30 charcuterie board that was placed in a meal prep container. The least you could do is place the items on a small plate. Not a terrible experience but I'd definitely look for other alternatives on my next visit. read more

Our visit to Biddle Ranch could have easily earned a five star review. The venue is nice and the wine was pretty good. Why 3 stars instead of 5 or even 4? Service! Our group have easily visited 250+ wineries and many of those we visited several times. We easily qualify as experts in the area of wine tasting. Based on our visit to Biddle Ranch as well as reviews I read the venue does not put an emphasis on hospitality. Our server (not educator) was nice but she seems to not care. Not care about selling wine, promoting or educating us about their wine and frankly or likes or dislikes. This behavior was repeated with other customers she was serving that day. If we are having a great time we reciprocate with numerous wine purchases and a generous tip. We only purchased the minimum to wave our tasting fees and could only justify the very minimum of gratuity. I truly hope management reads this post and invests time in better training their employees. We are in the area often and would love to have a spot to sip some wine before dinner. Based on this visit, I don't think so! read more

Came here on a Monday morning of all days, during the Veteran's Day holiday weekend, when they had opened. The grounds here are very quaint, with a nice entryway of olive trees and a fountain. The concrete and modernish building and its outside patios are very cleanly kept. We sat outside at comfortable seating with some shade from trees. Our server was welcoming and friendly. She also was accommodating for one in our party who wasn't a Pinot fan. Their main wines consisted of Chardonnay and Pinot, with a few offsite vineyards used for Cabernet Sauvignon. I enjoyed their wines, though found them a bit pricy, even comparing to the more pricier Napa region that we more often frequent. That said, we came away with a few bottles. Being more local to Napa, we prob trended toward the more robust reds (charlatans!), so definitely liked the Akubra which was a bit off menu. Still, as a novice Pinot person and more of a reds guy, I still enjoyed their chard and Pinot enough to have them hold their own. We were recommended the place from a local, and didn't get a chance to hit many of the Edna Valley wineries on this particular trip, but felt satisfied in visiting this one before we set out for lunch. Worth a visit! read more

Service was tops! We paid for 3 tastings and a glass. I had a single glass , but they poured me a taste of one of the bottles anyway because I said I was interested. We brought in our own sandwiches and sat outdoors, and so glad we did. Ambiance is pretty- location is stellar, but they are replanting all vines near the tasting area, so there's a bunch of little white growing tubes. read more

Super cute tasting room. The olive trees are a pleasant touch. Open outdoor eating with plenty of space to mingle. Unfortunately we walked in and were not even acknowledged. I know it was right before closing (15 mins), but any sort of acknowledgement and communication would've been appreciated. To me, this was a display of the way they treat their patrons; hence, the reason why I would never return. read more

Very nice ambiance and close to other wineries. We got a tasting, a wine by the glass option, and a snack box. They had some tasty individual snack boxes from a local shop but some group platters would be nice. Servers were nice, although not as attentive or conversational as some nearby spots read more

We attended a wedding at this winery, and it was an absolutely charming and elegant experience. The vineyard setting was picturesque, with beautiful views and a warm, inviting atmosphere that made the celebration unforgettable. From the stunning backdrop to the serene ambiance, everything about this place created the perfect environment for such a special occasion. Truly a beautiful winery that leaves lasting memories. Sorry we were not allowed to take pictures on the wedding so I didn't take my phone with me for pictures. read more

We had a lovely wine tasting experience here. Reservations are recommended, but we were able to make one pretty last minute on a weekend in July. $25 a flight, waived with 2 bottle purchase. I enjoyed the whole flight. I loved the outdoor area. There's so many wineries to choose from in this area, but I did think this one stood out with all the beautiful olive trees providing shade. It felt comfortable even on a hot day. (they don't have heat lamps for colder weather though). They do have indoor tasting area, but it is standing only. They are dog and kid friendly. They offer a charcuterie board as well which we didn't get to try. Sometimes they run out I had read, but they do allow outside food which is also a plus I also appreciated that they were fast to respond on Yelp with my messages/questions read more

This is a very relaxed winery to go taste at. We were with a larger group and sat outside. Our server was clearly a little inexperienced. Didn't bother me as I just taste socially, but to those who wine tasting is more of an art might have been disappointed. Their wines tasted good. Sitting under olive trees on a windy day meant we were getting pelted with olives falling from the trees and bits in our glasses, but all part of the experience, right? read more

My wife and I made our first visit yesterday afternoon after hearing great things from out network locally and online. This place definitely met all the marks. Absolutely gorgeous property/grounds, really friendly/welcoming staff, and a very nice balanced tasting menu of whites and reds. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience including the blankets and BR wine glass drying towels. We joined the 4 bottle club and can't wait to visit more into the future for all their fun events and more. This is one of the absolute gems in Edna Valley! read more

Perfect little winery in town and easy to get to from SLO. We tried some beautiful Pinot Grigio's, chardonnays and a Pinot noir. Service was super friendly and they brought our 4 wines to taste in about a 45 minute time span. They were out of their charcuterie board so i cannot tell you about the food. A very beautiful winery in an amazingly gorgeous setting with solid wine. read more

Very nice ambiance! Outdoor seating venue was beautiful and well kept. Full of comfortable and plush seats this tasting experience is definitely luxurious and a tranquil time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The landscape is full of olive trees and of course vineyards absolutely breathtaking. Our party of 4 made reservations for a saturday afternoon roughly a week in advance. Since we had a friend from out of town join us we ran a bit late but the staff was able to accommodated us, and start out tasting a bit later. The website told us outside foods/snacks were allowed which is always nice. Of course our party came well prepared with a whole line up of pretty snacks and treats! Definitely worth the trip to trader joes and making a beautiful spread. The tasting experience itself came with 5 wines, 2 whites and 3 reds with the Chardonnay coming from the grapes grown on site. Our tasting came i at $25 which I believe is becoming the new norm for tastings in SLO. Another fun aspect was the Pinot Grigio served at Biddle Ranch is in collaboration with a local non profit in SLO, talk about supporting the right businesses! For each wine our server came to introduce the history and flavor profile and gave us a pour. I really enjoyed this presentation over having the whole tasting menu set up upon being seated. Very well paced and informative. Overall, I had a great time, each tasting was unique and quite tasty. Very light and fruity flavors. Would highly recommend this spot if you're considering a wine tasting in Edna Valley. read more

We made reservations to go to this winery as we haven't been there previously. Ian was our server, and he was excellent very friendly and informative. We tasted five wines and my husband switched out one of the Whites for Syrah, which we ended up liking the best. The $25 tasting is waived if you buy two bottles which we did. I also like their Pinot Grigio and even their Chardonnay and I'm usually not a Chardonnay person. Definitely will go back. read more

I came to Biddle for a wine tasting and had an amazing time! Making a reservation is easy and everyone working here is beyond nice. They are also knowledgeable about the wine & property. We enjoyed sitting in the outdoor area for our tasting. The couch/chairs and very comfy and well spaced out for privacy. The flight was perfect with a variation of wines, all delicious. Ended up buying 3 bottles and can't wait to come back again. Biddle waives your tasting fee if you purchase 2 bottles. The snack box was also extremely appetizing. This winery is dog friendly and was great bringing our pup along. read more

We love coming to Biddle Ranch! After coming here with a friend who was a member, we fell in love with the olive trees in the sitting area and the amazing wine. The staff is always very friendly and prompt, even on busy weekends. Biddle Ranch also allows you to rent out the venue after hours and we took advantage of this to have a small get together with come clients while our favorite central coast band played some tunes. All in all, it is our favorite vineyard in SLO Cal and we are proud to bring out of towners in for a tasting. read more

If you're looking for a laid back wine tasting experience where you can relax in the shade of trees with views of vineyards and mountains/hills of SLO, Biddle Ranch is the place.

$20 wine tasting. That is regular pricing in these areas speacially it being wine country out here. The chepest bottle they have is $25 and they can go up to $60-$65. As for the service:it was great. Absolutely no complaints there. The wine itself: it was pretty good. I'm not a huge wine snob but, my colleagues loved it and but some wine to take home. The facility is great as well. Makes for some great pictures near the vineyards. There's plenty of room to sit dofferent size parties and i saw some people bring outside food to eat with their wine. Definitely would consider returning although there is so many vineyards around so maybe I'll try other ones before doing so.

Stopped by on our way to Edna Vineyards. Walked in and were seated on the outdoor patio area. Very nice location and feel. Service was great and the woman pouring for us seemed to know her stuff. We ultimately took a bottle of Evviva home with us, mainly because they waived the tasting fee and the wine was decent but it was more of an impulse buy and I wouldn't do it again. Wine is ok, but WAY overpriced at the Winery. But still a good time. read more

My friends were visiting from out of town for the week-end and we spontaneously decided to do some wine-tasting in our neck of the woods. Heading towards Edna Valley we stumbled upon Biddle Ranch Vineyard. Very glad we did. The hostess told us that the vineyard just opened up last November. The grounds are very beautiful. Simple, clean, and very modern. As my friend put it, "It looks like something straight out of Pinterest." I tend to agree, in a good way. In my opinion, the best part is the view of Edna valley from the outdoor seating. Gorgeous, wide open spaces. It makes you feel small and lets everyday stress just melt away. I would definitely bring friends here to enjoy a picnic or just for tasting. For tastings, they have a 6 wine flight for $15 per person. Fee is waived with 3+ bottles purchase. The staff was very pleasant and happily told us a bit about each wine with the pours. As far as the wines go, I was not a huge fan of their whites. I found them very acidic- hence the 4 stars. I did, however, enjoy the reds and their wonderful aromas. I would recommend this space for small groups. I think it works best as an intimate setting. read more

Visited this winery on July 7th, Friday afternoon. Made reservations, but we made it early and they let us come in, since it was a quiet, not too busy afternoon. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our server Haley is a very knowledgeable young lady, answered all of our questions. We ended up sharing a flight and purchasing two bottles. Corked one and had a glass of that right there. We also brought in our own charcuterie to enjoy the wine with. The weather was so beautiful that day, they had plenty of seats outside under the olive trees, with view of the vineyard and surrounding hills. I could easily spend the whole afternoon right there! What a great experience! We loved it. read more

I'm a huge fan of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. So much so that it's the only wine I drink (unless someone offers me free wine, then it's game on!) I was enticed to stop at Biddle Ranch by their beautiful building and landscaping but when I tried the wine, something wonderful happened. They have a Sav Blanc on their menu that sounded similar to a NZ Sav, so I decided to try it, with very low expectations. I was shocked! This was the first and only Californian Sav Blanc I've tasted that is as good as the New Zealand Sav Blancs. It's has that mild tartness with those citrus notes that I love about the NZ Savs. Bravo! There's other wine to, I guess. I'm obsessed with their Sav Blanc, so I'm sticking with it. Then there's the property. It's nestled among the grapevines with an outdoor seating that is so peaceful and serene. There's always chill music playing and they have bands on certain evenings during the summer. If that's not enough, there's Ford, the dog. Super chill guy that loves to say hi. Great wine, beautiful surroundings and a cool dog. What else could you ask for? Go there! Go on. Get goin! read more
