    The winery is located in creston but i went to the tasting room in beautiful downtown morro bay. The staff was extremely nice and did a great job taking care to multiple groups. The winery has multiple selections of both wine and port available for purchase but you will be tasting from a predetermined list. They are dog friendly.

    Wine tasting in the time of COVID is a unique challenge! I was staying in Cambria but struggling to find places either open at all, or open early in the week for tasting. Yelp helped me find Chateau Margene a short drive away in Morro Bay, and I'm so glad it did! Street parking was no problem on a Monday afternoon, and I was greeted by Max as I walked in and given my choice of outside table for tasting. Max was awesome to taste and chat with (we have the same hometown, what a cool coincidence!), and he very graciously took me through their 5 offerings with helpful and unpretentious explanations. It was so pleasant to sit in the evening air, taste lovely wine without feeling any rush or pressure, and be able to talk as fellow humans without it being all business. Their wines are a little pricey, but also quite special. It's a place that won't necessarily be everyone's cup of tea, and I was enjoying their reds without being too exalted until I had my first taste of their cabernet sauv, and oh baby. A little steep at $68 a bottle, but I know when the time comes to drink it, I will remember those dark berry flavors, near the water, on a lovely winter night, alongside good company. And that is a feeling that has no price tag. I look forward to returning to Chateau Margene in Morro Bay, and visiting their main estate in Creston! Thank you to Max and the family for showing me a lovely time - you stand out where so many others blend in and fade away. Cheers!

    Love, love the wine! Actually, I prefer their pinots under the Mooney label, but if you love Cabs, don't miss this place! Not a bargain winery, but you get what you pay for. So. if you don't mind paying for a top notch quality wine, I recommend checking out Chateau Margene. average price ($50 bottle). The overall experience could have been more favorable had the wine pourer not been so engrossed with two other female visitors. He could have done better, especially since I have been a wine club member for over ten years. Was hoping for better customer service. Also, for a different tasting experience, you can make reservations at the Creston site. Happy drinking! Cheers

    Very pretty etched glass bottles of 2 of our favorites served!

    Had a wonderful afternoon wine tasting here yesterday. It is a wonderful location and a winery that we have been wanting to stop by and visit. Will was great, serving us both a great wine flight and some delightful olive oil tastings as well. He was very knowledgeable about the wines served and also the surrounding vineyard areas. We always appreciate great conversation! 2 nice Pinot Noir's, a well balanced red blend, and of course 2 wonderful Cabernet's!! They clearly love what they are doing and it shows in their wine production and how they treat there customers. Added note...they are open for outside service, reservations can be made but not necessary. Thanks again Will! We will be back soon!

    Love this place! Will is the best at pouring you just what you are looking for! Great wine! Great service! I can't say enough great things about this tasting room! Must visit if you come to Morro Bay.

    Amazing!!! The man behind the counter, Will, was very friendly, knowledgeable and willing to share stories of the entire wine process.

    Girl's trip stop at Chateau Margene.

    Being a novice of wine, all I knew was I liked "sweet wines" so my friend and I set out to find some on a trip to Morro Bay. Having struck out in one tasting room already, we tried again at Chateau Margene. Will told us they didn't have sweet wines per se BUT he was going to have me try their Chardonnay. I was sold!!! Several years (and many bottles of wine) later, all my trips to Morro Bay must now include a stop to see Will and pick up a bottle of Cold Steel or their equally tasty 2019 Chardonnay or Sparkling wine. If I can't choose, it's one of each! I couldn't be happier that an initial failed attempt to find a sweet wine lead us to Will and Chateau Margene (kismet )!

    Tasting....

I tried to ask someone one time where the tasting room is and they weren't very friendly. But now it is very clearly marked and I was easily able to find it on my own this time. You can tell it's been newly remodeled. My friends and I decided to do the tasting. All of us like white wine only. They have a few selections but of course the one I really wanted to try wasn't available that day. And that was ok. They gave me 6 tokens to give one each time i wanted my next tasting. Well sine they didn't have one of the wines I wanted and white wine was more limited I asked if I could turn in two chips for two tastings of the same wine. And I did this also so I didn't have to come in and bother them as soon for another pour of the same thing. I was told they don't do that .... But then they did. It just doesn't make sense to me. I also was trying to be nice and I just felt like she was wasn't super friendly. This place has a gorgeous set up outside. They have nice comfy seating or high top tables which overlook the rolling green hills. This time of the year is absolutely beautiful. I can see the warmer months not being as pretty because I'm sure everything turns brown. I also loved watching the animals down below. The scenery was so majestic. I will definitely be back again. This will probably be on my list of "must visits" every time I visit Cambria. There are just certain places you that you always remember and must go back to, and this is one of them for me.

I am a nobody. Sure, I am a longtime Wine Society member, but I don't expect a Michelin Star restaurant and one of Forbes best places in the world to remember me. They didn't know me; but it didn't matter Justin Winery and Restaurant, treated my party fantastic! Service was excellent. Food was great. Wine was superb. The tasting went slightly off list, which was welcomed with the heat. Lovely white wines to start off, which lead into the bold reds. 10 out of 10 atmosphere. 10 out of 10 for service. 10 out of 10 for food. Wine was a solid 93 average. IYKYK

Visited this past weekend and was greeted by Mike , served by Kevin. Gorgeous view, whether a member or not the service is always on point. Perks of being a member is that you get a discount for having a great time. Brought my family and they got to indulge in the perks with me. Wine was top tier. They don't serve you what is in your local grocery store, they've got the exclusive wine here. Reserves hold a special place in my heart. Enjoyed all glasses but th Isosceles, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet , Rose...ok all of them were the best. lol Can't have a bad drink here. Highly recommend, food is incredible! 2025 Michelin star, need I say more ? Our group enjoyed the Winter Salad, Mushroom pasta, charcuterie board, and apple pie. Parking was easy , reception is bad until you reach the property. Casual wear is ok in this classy setting. People are down to earth and ready to story tell about the wine here. Excited to go back.
