My friends and I drove up from Temecula, CA to explore different wineries in the area for a few days, and we all agreed that Brecon Estate Tasting Room was our favorite stop of the trip. The ambiance, service, and wine were all amazing. We were especially grateful to have Cheryl as our wine server, she shared great information about the winery, and the tasting felt relaxed yet engaging at the same time, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping here! read more

Came back on a tiny day trip and just wanted to add pics I missed taking last time. Always a great, relaxing time read more

This place came highly suggested and I can see why. I liked the small, intimate feel and I really enjoyed the wine. As someone who generally is not a fan of whites, I really enjoyed The Last Sandwich. But we ended up purchasing a bottle of the cab. Our server Patrick was very informative and great fun to listen to. I also appreciated the blankets as they were a nice touch for a chilly morning. read more

Came here for my 2nd visit. And this visit was spectacular. They poured an all red flight for us and top to bottom the wines were spectacular. We had members in our party join the club and for good reason. The views and the service and the wines were awesome. We ended up with the Zin Tennat blend that got 98 points. Super happy we will be coming back to this place more often. I definitely recommend this place as its wine club worthy. read more

Great wine, beautiful environment, and fun tasting experience. We came as a large group wine tasting and our tasting guide handled everything super well. Very attentive and comes in for more wine pours at the perfect moment. She is knowledgeable about all the wines and is incredibly fun. Her humor definitely made the experience casual and relaxing~ The wine tasting comes with a series of 5 of their signatures. They are all absolutely amazing but the one stands out the most is the Viognier, it's delightful to sip under the sun~ The tasting is reasonably priced and you can comp the tasting if you buy two bottles. I had a great time here and will definitely stop by again if I'm in the area~ read more

We've come to Brecon twice now, and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the area, and a go-to recommendation for friends visiting Paso. The property is beautiful, the service wonderful, and the wines fantastic. Not to mention, they have a winery cat, that was nice enough to grace us with its presence on both visits! Their tasting room is on the smaller side, but their outdoor area has plenty of comfortable seating, with an elevated, yet oh so relaxed vibe. They have picnic tables closer to the entrance, and big couches by the tasting room. Both times we've come we had a reservation, the first time we ended up modifying it last minute to add more people and the second we made a last minute reservation, and each time they were more than happy to welcome us in. On our last visit we were helped by Sian, who was so fun to chat wine, Paso, and life with. She was knowledgeable about the wines and winery, and gave great service. They have a nice variety of reds and whites here, on our last visit we took 2 of each home with us, and on the first visit one of each. read more

Great taswting experience led by knowledgable but not pushy people, Sian especially! Get on their mailinmg list and become a member, it is well worth the effort - probably due to the Australian connection (I'm an Aussie)!! read more

We loved the outdoor seating under the oaks and birdwatching. The tasting room is small and friendly. We had a sweet and hospitable server named Cheryl. She did a great job serving, as it got busier, didn't miss a beat. Sydney the winery cat ‍ came to see us. Loved that. The charcuterie tray was simple & hit the spot during our tasting. A little cheese knife set came as a gift. Nice !! Overall the wines were good & we purchased a white and a red to take home. read more

Probably one of my favorite wineries! Not only do they have a beautiful location and vineyards, but I absolutely love their wine. The Bordeaux blends are some of my favorites. Honestly can't go wrong with any of their wines. Every server we had exhibited great knowledge of each wine. A very welcoming and relaxing environment. read more

Another AMAZING visit!! Sat outside for our tasting and brought our lunch. The weather was perfect!! Cheryl was perfect!! Wine was perfect!! Left with 10 bottles!! Albariño is so delicious. As Cheryl described it... "breakfast wine!" Must try 42 and Budgy's Smuggler. Great visit. Missed seeing Frank.........Happy Anniversary to you!! Someday we'll meet Damien. read more

Breton Estate is the home of the original Norman Vineyards. The new owners have renovated the tasting room and grounds and the property is beautiful and inviting. The wines are stunning and the service is as well! We were greeted by Cheryl as we walked up the tranquil tree lined path to the tasting room. She is warm and welcoming and quickly suggested we find a seat and returned with ice cold water and menus. The list of wines is brief but excellent and we had a wonderful tasting under the trees. Tips: Make an appointment on Tok on the winery website for your tasting. Indoor seating is available but limited. Plenty of outdoor seating. Dogs on leash are allowed. Charcuterie is available but limited. No deli case so bring a picnic or snacks. This is a MUST STOP for tasting while in Paso Robles! Cheers! read more

Run, don't walk. Absolute hidden treasure. Unexpected highlight of our trip! Great outside seating, awesome guy pouring and telling us the history of the wine, allowed outside food in. And the sweetest winery dog! Would have loved the bottles we bought to cover both tastings but in all, good wine is worth it. And this is GOOD wine. read more

Beautiful winery and great service. We saw their albiriño sign from the road and crossed our fingers for a walk in. Thankfully we pulled in because we were able to enjoy some really yummy wine and bring some home with us too. read more

After a beautiful ride through rolling hills, we were greeted by a very comfortable - and dog friendly - winery. We arrived late, but were still able to get a couple glasses of their fantastic wines - a refreshingly crisp Rose and a robust Cabernet. It was great sitting outside, relaxing under beautiful oak trees. We will definitely make a return visit and give ourselves plenty of time to enjoy more of Brecon's great wines and friendly service. read more

Fabulous winery! We became first-time wine club members here 3 years ago. If you enjoy Rhône-style blends, this is the place for you. The winemakers are extremely friendly and the staff is always very kind and accommodating. read more

Came here end of August when we had time for 1 winery on first day in Paso. Our friend recommended Brecon, so we called and luckily they said we can come in. Rachel was the one who my BF spoke to and was the one who seated us right when we got there. She was very welcoming and really nice. They got a bit busy, so we got our second and the rest of our pours from Pat. Pat was fantastic! He knew his stuff. We also got to know him a little bit on a personal level, which Is always nice. We were the last customers and we did not feel rushed what so ever! Definitely coming back here! The wines were good, I liked their Grenache and Forty -two and some of their reds. We ended up getting two bottles, one 2017 forty-two and their 2017 Estate Reserve Cab (without trying it). The location is nice but no reception! TIP/FYI: *Check in before getting here. You get a free tasting offer if you check in on yelp! I didn't know until I checked in when we left (finally had signal) *$20 tasting for 5 pours. *tasting is waived if you purchase two bottles *no reception read more

Brecon's staff is very welcoming and hospitable. Both times I've gone, Cheryl, has helped out with tastings and is a wonderful host. Been fortunate to have a cellar tasting and enjoy their beautiful grounds. The wines are phenomenal for my palate, too! read more

My wife and I had visited this winery, a year or so ago, and really liked it. This year we had a large group of family with us, and everyone I spoke with, was super helpful and flexible in helping us arrange for a party of 12. We all had a fantastic time, Maggie took outstanding care of us all. And we loved every single wine we tried. Even joined the wine club. highly recommended! read more

We recently visited the beautifully located and expertly designed Brecon Estate. Frank hosted us for a tasting in the very relaxed outdoor setting. He greeted us like old friends and was very knowledgeable and generous with his time. We thoroughly enjoyed tasting their small batch wines and there's no surprise why they're award winning. Damian makes amazing wines, the service and hospitality is great, the location is stunning. We'll be back. read more

Amazing wine, well made with full flavors. Each wine is delicious and different in their category. Lovely high end wine We joined! read more

A lovely time as usual. They have a great summer special going on with their delicious Albarinos & Rose - it's a great deal. It can't be beat. Cheryl was a friendly and took good care of us. read more

We tried a couple of Brecon wines at a tasting event last February and made a note to stop by on our next Paso trip. Made an appointment for Thursday afternoon. Because of Covid19 they are having tastings outside but it was a perfect warm, but not too warm sunny day. The wines we tasted were all very good but we ended up buying a bottle of reserve Cabernet. There was a Syrah/Tannat on the back side of the menu that sounded interesting so I asked if we could try it. The tasting room manager said that they didn't have any of those wines open but I had heard another employee, (an older Caucasian gentleman) serve some to another group. Overall it was a good experience but I wish they had given us some more information with the wines. Basically all they did was say, "This is such and such wine", pour and walk away. I like a little more personal touch in my tastings. read more

Wow!! I've been working :) my way through Paso and a friend recommended I visit Brecon. I am most thankful for that! I was welcomed by Rachel who took care of the 2 of us brilliantly! She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the wines! Every wine was absolutely delicious! And I even didnt try the albariño! Loved Cab Franc, Feral underclass and Meritage but honestly all of them are top notch. Loved we could bring some items to munch on as well! One of the best tasting experiences I've had for sure! Cant wait to come back. Well once i've gone through all the ones I bought. Did I mention I joined the club? Yup, thats right! Thanks Brecon!! read more

We had an awesome time at Brecon Estate! The wines were superb and the setting was lovely. We enjoyed our lunch that we brought with us from Hush Harbor in Atasacadero in their park-like setting surrounded by nature. The Scrub Jay couple that visited our table remained socially distant while they sang to each other as we enhance our tastings. We joined the club...it was too good not to! I look forward to many more visits. Our host Anthony was knowledgeable and offered suggestions for food pairing recipes that made out mouths water. We can't wait to return. read more

Excellent wines and associates were knowledgeable and very customer service oriented. Roy and George and the winery dogs-- sweet guys. We settled on the Mouvedre and Malbec. We will consider joining their wine club if we decide to change one of our current clubs. The drive on Peachy Canyon to Vineyard Drive is mostly tree canopied which is beautiful. read more

We visited this past week with friends. We all enjoyed the wines, service, and ambiance. Cheryl did a fabulous job pouring our wines and answering our questions. So much so, that both couples joined their wine club! Looking forward to enjoying more of their wine in the future and visiting them again! read more

What a beautiful spot to taste some delicious wine! Jim G. and I were visiting the bestie in Atascadero and this was the first place she booked for us to visit. After we parked, we crossed a wonderful bridge and meandered down a tree-lined path to the front of the tasting room. It was a lovely afternoon and we enjoyed the expansive patio where we tasted 5 wines for the $20 tasting fee. (I do recall a time in Paso when all tastings were free and they gave you a glass! My, things have changed, lol!). Tasting fee is waived with the purchase of two bottles. Everyone who helped us was kind and helpful and the wines were pretty good! I always appreciate a place who makes Albariño and their cab franc was full-bodied and tannic, which is right up my alley! While it doesn't really matter, not all their wines are actually 'estate wines;' that is just their winery name. One minor complaint, I do wish the tasting notes had more info about the wine (blend percentages, what's the varietal in the Forty Two, etc) rather than an exercise in creative writing; that would be especially helpful later at home when opening bottles we've purchased. If you get there early enough, you can linger after your appointment and buy wine by the glass and/or bottle and enjoy a little cheese plate. We got there too near to closing, but we might take advantage of that next time! read more

If you are looking for the best wines in Paso Robles head over to Brecon Estate. The tasting room is dog-friendly with plenty of areas to enjoy outdoors. The award-winning wines are small batch and typically sell out quickly. I would highly recommend becoming a member and asking for Nikki to help select the best wines for your palette. I personally love all of their wines with my favorite being their Cab Franc. They have a new release of Reserve Cab Franc and a Malbec which will not last long. Make sure to visit or just join and trust the incredible reviews. read more

Great place to not only taste, but stay a bit to enjoy their beautiful grounds. I really liked their Albariño. Crisp and light, perfect for a warm day. My favorite was their Cab Franc. Super tannic, just the way I love my reds. If you want to stay longer they also sell wine by the glass. read more

LOVED this winery! It was our first and favorite winery of the trip. Great, chill vibes. Relaxing. And a great price for what it is. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, Anthony handled our tasting and he was super funny and informative. Definitely coming back here! read more

This place could, should and probably will be a sure 5 star spot. The grounds are gorgeous and I found the facility similar to one of my favorite wineries, Cade in Howell Mountain which is a supreme compliment. Lots of outdoor seating with a nice tasting bar inside. We opted for the latter since it was a warm day. I really enjoyed the wines, the packaging and the general vibe of the place. I'm deducting a star for the service and frankly, I could have deducted more but I want to love Brecon and I'm not out to do a "hit job" review. I'm hoping they'll really fix the service standards so I can have a stunning place to recommend to my wine friends. We stood at the counter for quite a while before we were acknowledged even though there were many employees behind the counter. One was chatting with personal friends (judging from the conversation). One guy was scrolling his phone and a couple of others were standing there looking outside. The "personal friends group" eventually left and another group of 5 decided to continue their tasting outside so my wife and I were the only ones at the counter but we had to ask for each pour. I asked for the story of the winery and got a few disinterested soundbites and looked through the leather-bound book on the counter to find what I wanted. Again, on the wine, same story. I cheerfully asked questions about the wines and got very curt answers. Not surly. Just rote "get it over with" answers. We go to a lot of wineries in Napa, Livermore, Santa Barbara and other places and this was our first extended trip to Paso and we were pretty excited. We do some social media and customer experience work with some wineries and I found so many "best practices" here that I walked in ready and wanting to be dazzled only to be let down by the service aspect. By the end, we were anxious just to pay our tasting fees. We usually buy bottles to avoid that and I loved the wine so normally, that's what I would have done but we were just kind of over it at that point. It all seems so fixable but at the same time, there was a frustrating sense that all this was standard operating procedure. So, all that said, we will be back on the chance that we just caught them at a bad time. If I were the nice family that owns Brecon, I'd work on coming up with some attainable standards on the tasting experience and this place will absolutely rock the next time we come in. read more

I am a winemaker. Brecon produces superior wines. Their Albariño is delightful and sells out very quickly. They age their red wines which results in huge, age-able wines. The atmosphere is relaxed and approachable. I highly recommend this delightful gem. read more

This experience is everything you want from a Paso wine tasting. A beautiful drive under old oaks past rolling vineyard takes you to the estate. The wines are superb, the company and service is warm, inviting, and well executed. They have a beautiful patio surrounded by vineyards with a sophisticated aesthetic throughout. The wine is nuanced and has that extra bit of something special in every glass. The family story is heartwarming and approachable. This is a special place that is not to be missed. Absolutely one of our favorites! read more

Such a great time! We had Kirsten who told us to sit wherever we wanted to taste wines. Of course we decided to sit next to the cutest cat ever on the couch. The grounds are on the smaller side but so beautiful. It was raining so games weren't out or anything but we enjoyed talking to Kirsten and another lady throughout our time there. The wine was soo good with our favorite being the red blend fourty two. Thank you and we will be back! read more

This winery is a photogenic wonderland. As you make your way from your car to the tasting room, you're greeted by their rows of vines, picturesque bridge, Brecon photo op frame, green spaces, corn hole, and beautiful outdoor seating areas (loved their orange accent pillows). Their tasting room and indoor seating is just as aesthetically pleasing. Happy we made a reservation, as this is a popular one! Our server was kind and attentive, and we enjoyed our wine tastings (with the viognier being my favorite). One area for improvement is their food offerings. For such a gorgeous winery, serving food in plastic containers does their business such a disservice. If just doesn't match the environment and all their other great offerings. We ordered their charcuterie and it was just given to us in a plastic see through box. It looks like this is the same for their other food options too. Dog friendly! read more
