This was actually my first wine tasting experience, and my partner and I couldn't have come across a better spot to start. WINE: 9/10 FOOD: 9/10 (limited time) SERVICE: 10/10 AMBIANCE: 10/10 WINE: 9/10 Their tasting flight gave me a really nice range, from their crisp 2024 Rosé and well-balanced 2022 Chardonnay to their richer blends like the Four Chords and Reserve Cabernet. The wines feel very thoughtful and grounded in their estate grapes. Since it was our first wine tasting, the staff guided us through the flight, explaining the tasting notes and differences between the wines in a friendly and approachable way. FOOD: 9/10 At the time in July, they were hosting a limited-time backyard BBQ buffet. They shared that they don't normally host, but it was incredible. The BBQ meats were flavorful and perfectly cooked, the sides were fresh and satisfying, and the highlight of the buffet was the banana pudding. We were advised to pair it with their dessert wine, which was the last wine tasting on the list. SERVICE: 10/10 The staff were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We even met the owner, who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about his wines. He shared stories about the vineyard and his family legacy, which made the experience personal and memorable. Between the owner and the staff, we felt completely supported and cared for throughout the tasting. AMBIANCE: 10/10 The vineyard and tasting room are so clean, well-structured, and beautifully maintained. The ranch-style barn with a wraparound porch overlooks rolling vineyards, creating the perfect setting to relax and enjoy your first tasting. The space is thoughtfully designed, making it easy to enjoy both indoor and outdoor seating depending on the weather. Extra notes: Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. Parking is manageable, and the entire property feels welcoming, organized, and approachable. If you're touring Paso Robles and want a winery that's beginner-friendly, impeccably maintained, and staffed with friendly and passionate people, Parrish Family Vineyard is absolutely worth a stop.

Our first stop when we arrived in Paso. We've been to so many wineries, this would be one of our top 10. The spice pairing is unique but pairs so well with the wine. Buy 3 bottles to waive the fee. Since it's more of boutique, the bottles are quite pricey, mostly ranging near the 100s. But it was our favorite the whole weekend we went there. And we bought 6 bottles. We loved the spell and got 3 bottles of that! It's a Syrah cab blend. Has the Paso flavor that we love. It's not a vineyard, just a tasting room but worth a visit. We met the wine maker too. Friendly and attentive service. Can't wait to pop open a bottle at home soon!

We visited here on 02/14/2026 at 2pm, with a reservation which we made about 2 months in advance…read more It was just for two of us. They had a room set up in the back for us (it pays to make a reservation) and it was personalized with our name and it had a comfortable couch and other seating, with a beautiful tapestry on the wall. Our "guide" for today was Nyoka, and she was fabulous. I don't know if she was solely helping us or not; however, it sure seemed like it. She was really sweet, was so informative and just a pleasure to talk to. We did the tasting, and we also did the optional spice tasting for an additional $15. I would strongly encourage you to add in the spice tasting. It is definitely well worth it, and it goes with the wine tasting so well. Nyoka was very good at not only telling us about the wines; however, also telling us about the spices, history, growing conditions, the owners, and even the geography -- along with a map as a visual. She was truly a pleasure. We did end up buying three bottles to take home. These bottles are a little bit pricier than ones we usually buy. We usually fall in the $50 range and these were definitely in the $75 to $90 range for most of them; however, they were definitely good and likely premium. We had an excellent time, and would return again in the future.

He was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire tasting. He didn't just pour the wines, he walked us through each one, explaining where they came from and what made them unique. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it elevated the whole visit. FOOD: We didn't go for a full meal, but we did have some charcuterie--and wow. The cheese selection was delicious and paired perfectly with the wines. Simple, but very well done. AMBIANCE: This spot has such a cozy, homey feel. Sitting on the couch honestly felt like hanging out in someone's living room (in the best way). It's relaxed, comfortable, and perfect for slowing down and enjoying good wine and conversation. DRINKS: We did the 6-wine tasting (2 whites, 4 reds), and it was a great mix. Each wine felt thoughtfully chosen, and with Anthony guiding us through the tasting, we got so much more out of it than just drinking. His knowledge really brought each glass to life. OVERALL: If you're looking for a laid-back, intimate wine experience with great service, this is definitely a spot to check out. I'd come back again just for another tasting with Anthony.

It's the kind of place where you could easily sit for hours enjoying the landscape and a glass of wine. The wines are consistently excellent. The tasting lineup always showcases the quality DAOU is known for, and one of the great perks is that they often have several library wines available that can be requested and served by the glass. Being able to enjoy some of their older vintages this way makes the experience even more special for wine enthusiasts. What I appreciate most about DAOU is how they've managed to maintain a small, family-style atmosphere despite being acquired by a larger company a few years ago. The hospitality still feels personal and genuine. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, not only about the wines themselves but also about the history of the vineyard and the vision behind it. I'm a big fan of this winery and how it has evolved over the years. Between the stunning views, exceptional wines, and welcoming staff, DAOU is always a must-stop whenever visiting Paso Robles.

A typical Thanksgiving meal is always a bit tricky when it comes to wines as you've got such a variety of tastes going on. This bottle, however, handled it perfectly! It's a bit of a lighter style Pinot Noir. The flavors, which include some cranberry and spice, and finish worked perfectly with the meal. I'm looking forward to purchasing some more.
