What a spectacular property! As soon as you drive in this winery feels very grand, and the feeling continues as you approach the outside tasting area. Sadly it was pretty chilly when we were visiting so sitting outside wasn't in the cards for us, but it was still lovely to enjoy as we checked in. We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to seat us inside the tasting room, which was lucky because they filled up very quickly after we got there. Two of us ended up sharing the classic tasting, it came with 5 wines, and we got an extra bonus pour of another wine they had open. The tasting had 1 white and 4 reds when we were in. We were helped by Emily, she was great to chat with and knew a ton about the wine, winery, and Paso. My favorite thing about the tasting was that they had a section on the menu that talked about the 2023 vintage (all but one wine we tried were from 2023) and how it differed from 2022. It was great education and information on why the wine was the way it was that year. We didn't love any of the wines enough to take them home with us, but we did find that the 23's everywhere weren't our favorites, we'll have to come back once they have a new vintage! read more

There are so many great wineries here in Paso and we absolutely love our membership for many reasons. The minimum commitment is 2 bottles twice a year and we can select whatever we like. We also can bring a party of 6 for our tastings. Both the white and red wines are amazing. Even though Anthony (winemaker) now has his new winery (Royal Nonesuch Farms which is also incredible) he still is very involved here. The property is absolutely amazing. On our last visit, we had the pleasure of being served by Tony for the first time. Tony is great with entertaining stories and recommendations for food pairing. He even introduced us to a website with delicious Italian recipes. The wine is fairly priced considering the high quality. read more

Incredible wine, the view is serene, when you get out of your car the peacefulness that hits you is incredible! Whether you are inside tasting, having a glass, or outside on the patio overlooking the view while enjoying some phenomenal wine. The people there are awesome giving great insight the entire tasting if you ask them. My wife & I loved it so much we became members haha. But the memberships are great in my opinion. Again if you are in Paso for some wine tasting put Denner on your list! You wont regret it. We will definitely be back! read more

Had my third tasting at Denner and had to write a review as I've had an excellent experience every time. Denner has a beautiful modern tasting room with unique architectural elements. Their tasting area is a very pleasant outdoor space with a great view. Comus club members get to use the more exclusive tasting area which is also beautiful and nicely shady, though it can get super windy in the afternoon. Denner wines are excellent! Love their ditch digger, dirt worshipper, and mother of exiles the most, but I truly enjoy everything they have to offer. They don't have many lower cost wines but the club memberships give you 10-20% off. I've had tastings hosted by Tony twice now, and I enjoy how he provides recommendations for meal pairings. Both he and the other host I've tasted with have been incredibly knowledgeable and made an already great tasting even better! read more

The service was good and there was a nice ambiance at this winery. Our wine pourer spent time with us in explaining the wine and was very friendly. We weren't a huge fan of the wines, but that's just us read more

I first had their wines during the Paso wine fest! Loved it and decided to plan to visit their tasting room so HERE WE ARE! . They start u off with a splash of their Rose which was heavenly. Beautiful grounds and great service. Our server was Corey! Although he's a bit young, he explained the wine to us beautifully and is well educated with what he's pouring us. He answered all the questions we have. Their wines are beautiful and complex. I only wish they have more whites in the future. The grounds were stunning! Open space with great views of the hills. Everyone should try and visit this winery. I think they are underrated and a bit overlooked by the crowds but if you appreciate great wines ,stopping by DENNER is a must! If you don't see an available time on TOCK for reservation, just give them a call to see if they can take u in. read more

Denner Vineyards - Delicious Rosé. - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

This a beautiful place to taste wine, under trees on the hill. We really enjoy are views while here. The parking is right near the entrance. Reservations are strongly encouraged. The wines here are highly rated but they need time to mature. With the acquisition by Gallo wines we will see how this will change the future. read more

Very beautiful place, the Pino was excellent and the server was very knowledgeable. My friends with me made it great

Was not familiar with Denner but the staff at The Stables Inn recommended it as a lovely place to do a wine tasting and bring your own food. It was perfect. Cameron really added value to our experience. We had a lovely afternoon with terrific wines. Bought more than we had intended but how could we not? Thank you Denner folks! read more

Really torn on how to rate this winery. The views are absolutely STUNNING. I can't say enough about how beautiful it is up there. That being said, we had just an overall odd/uncomfortable experience there. I understand this is a business, but our server made the tasting experience unenjoyable to us. I think his name was Tony, he was the older gentleman. Very nice guy, but literally spent 10+ minutes explaining each wine to us before pouring, right after we heard him explain the same thing to the table next to us. Also, he lacked the concept of personal space, as he repeatedly would tell his stories about a foot away from me or my girlfriend's face. My girlfriend even shifted her chair back multiple times to give him the hint he was way too close, but he wasn't getting it. Yes, it's interesting to know what type of wine it is, but when you keep talking for almost 10 minutes each time it starts to become repetitive and boring and we can't enjoy the wine. On top of that, he brought out a bottle he highly recommended, but not for us to try, just to buy. He claimed he wasn't authorized to open these bottles for tastings, but highly recommended it. Not sure why we'd spend $95 on a bottle of wine we can't sample at the winery. It just ended up feeling like one long sales pitch with way too much talking and pushing of the "stories" of each wine. We didn't have time to relax and enjoy the wine itself. Wines were solid though, but priced on the higher side for sure. read more

Denner offers stunning views with wonderful wines. We were brought here for a tasting as guests of members and received super friendly service despite it being a busy day. Seating is outdoors with sweeping views of the hills and vineyards. It's a choice spot to add to your wine tasting tour. read more

Loved visiting Denner, had a wonderful experience with Tony and really enjoyed the wines!

Wow! This is a beautiful tasting experience!! The wines are fabulous and so is the vista, as you look out over the rolling hills and vineyards. Cece was our outstanding hostess. She is relatively new to Denver, but has certainly done her homework! Knowledge about their wines and ably fielded difficult questions. She also knew our preferences from prior visits and made suggestions tailored to our tastes. We had a lovely time interacting with her. We also were visited during our time their by Autumn from the Wine Club Membership team...what a nice gesture, that made us feel valued as customers . Of course we'll be back. This is a fantastic winery...not a bad bottle in the bunch! read more

Service was horrible! Super pretentious. Hostess turned her nose up at us a party of four because we did not have reservations on a weekday. She did seat us but made it clear we were an inconvenience. We felt like we should hurry but our server was slow. It ended up being 90 minutes which was fine with us, we like to take our time but felt guilty for taking the table. Although not one, I repeat not one table around us was taken. So much for all those reservations! The wine was good, not great. We will t be back. read more

We had an amazing tasting here. Our server, Tony, was full of knowledge and we learned so much during our tasting! He even took us up to take photos in front of the spectacular view on the hill. We will be back!!! The wine was incredible and it was truly a lovely afternoon. read more

ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST in Paseo Robles!! We've been a Wine Club Member here for many years!! We just absolutely love their fine Wine!! Friendly staff and knowledgeable. We tell All our friends and Family, from the Los Angeles area . Thank you so much for the wine tasting !! Theresa was just so very friendly and knowledgeable!! Also the friendly gal that went beyond the call of duty and ran back to find a couple of unique wines. read more

Another great stop on our wine tasting adventure! Make sure when you arrive to check out the amazing architecture. Check out those enormous curved steel beams, so sexy! Ok, full disclosure, we were with an engineer, so maybe not so sexy for everyone. The tasting was a great experience, especially since the manager popped open some older wines and let us do some side by side tasting. That is always the best way to experience the subtle differences between years and preparation. My favorite was the Mother of Exiles. Make sure to make an appointment in advance. read more

Our first visit and not only did we enjoy the wines, but also the stellar view and interesting architecture of the building. Tony took great care of us providing interesting facts, as well as recipes and even a poem during our time there. The 2022 Theresa & 2021 Gold Digger were favorites. read more

The ambiance was delightful, making it one of Paso's underrated wineries. My favorite was the 2021 Grenache--a standout choice among their wines. read more

Ron Denner and his winery is a perfect example of a total class, customer care, top notch wines consistent high quality. The scenery is magnificent. The service is fantastic. What else can I say? We have been going there for the past 15 years and they never failed us. This is a place that you can go with total confidence knowing you will enjoy a great wine and you will be treated with respect. They have started producing a Cabernet Sauvignon that is outstanding. The Mother of Exiles which is a Cab blend has always been great as well. The Dirt Worshiper, The Ditch Digger all fabulous wines. If you are in Paso this winery is a must visit. read more

Denner came highly recommended by friends. We made an appointment by phone, received the email confirm, and excitedly drove to Paso Robles. AMBIANCE (4/5) The 108-acre Templeton Gap vineyard growing 15+ varietals features a modern tasting room, outdoor patio, and environmentally-friendly techniques. WINE (3/5) While red wine aficionado friends raved about Denner (one INSISTED we go), our group didn't love the five wines poured in the $20pp tasting. The 2016 Theresa, well-known 2015 Ditch Digger, 2016 Zinfandel, 2015 Syrah, and 2013 Mother of Exiles were all perfectly drinkable but not stand-out. Perhaps we didn't try Denner's yummier wines? Also, candidly, my palate may lack appropriate sophistication. SERVICE (3/5) Fine - perfunctory. The two pourers disinterestedly greeted our party, shared little about the wines, and mostly poured tastings for each other. Out of the wineries visited, we felt the least welcome at Denner. In and out in under 10 minutes - efficient! Overall, a neutral experience. Open to visiting again (but there are so many PR wineries to check out!). read more

Came for the first time on a cold dreary day. We had reservations and one of us was a member whom had never visited before. This does seem like a higher end wine tasting experience. Upon arrival we were welcomed and told to sit anywhere. All the wines are pretty darn good. They are more $$$ but they are really good. If you are going to pay $30 for a tasting come here where you can taste some really good wines. I believe our server was Lisa and she was very nice and knowledgeable. Views are breathtaking of rolling hills of vineyards. Wish weather was better to enjoy the outside but sitting next to the window was the next best thing. Love the witty names of the wines ! Mother of exiles was phenomenal read more

One of our last stops before the state of California was shut down for COVID-19! So glad that the bestie made an appointment here for our weekend visit! (You need one to get in, so make sure you don't just show up) There are two entrances, one for club members and one for the rest of us plebes, lol! The Visitors Room was a large, open room, with windows overlooking some vineyards and a lovely circular counter at which we stood. There are tables, as well, but I like the idea of being able to chat with the person pouring our wine, and that's much easier if he's right in front of us. Unfortunately, I have forgotten everyone's name (so sorry!), but we started with one guy, who passed us off to another guy. We had great conversation, he had wonderful things to say about the wines, and, he was quite resourceful! They happened to have a little of a more recent vintage of Dirt Worshipper 55 (aged in concrete) open, which was nice. After hearing about the differences between the 55 and the regular, I was curious about the differences in taste. I asked if they had any other of the Dirt Worshippers open. As these were on the 'limited release' or 'library' list, of course, he said no and he's not allowed to open them. Understandable. However, he asked the wine room manager about it, who said, "Sure!" And we all had a nice little vertical tasting! We talked about food pairing, local spots (since the bestie lives there), etc. It was a lovely stop and we walked out of there buying a 2017 Mother of Exiles, a 2013 Ditch Digger, and a 2013 Dirt Worshipper! Can't wait to be able to go out to eat again so we can bring one of these wines! read more

Stopped by for our 10am group reservation on a Saturday for my friend's birthday and were seated at their long table in the back. I believe they have a few different tasting rooms, but the one we were in could use a few extra aesthetic touches, as it was quite plain and lacked the personality I've seen and appreciated in the other Paso Robles tasting rooms. However, what they lacked in atmosphere was made up for by the incredible service we received during our $20/person tasting (waived with bottle purchase). Our server was very attentive, knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. And very patient with us since some of us would get caught up in conversation and lag behind. Most of their wines are reds and I'm not a huge red wine fan so it's hard for me comment on their offerings. I did really enjoy their viognier that the regular tasting started off with. There's a beautiful view of the valley of you walk down their driveway. read more

It really is near impossible to find a wine you won't love from Denner! I have been a member for several years and introduced many friends to their wine. I was just there this past weekend and Molly greeting us so warmly, even remembered my dog instantly by name! I thought that was going to be the highlight of my visit but then Yule came to my table to share his insights. I have been learning about wine more intently in recent months and Yule was still able to teach me several new things! I cannot wait to go back with friends to meet both Molly and Yule! read more

A colleague recommended Denner, and he did not steer me wrong. They have a very nice outdoor setup with a large covered patio, a picnic area, and a private tasting area for members. The tasting included 5 wines. The viognier was a nice less common find, and in general, their reds are less sweet/jammy than many of the other local wines, so their wines were definitely more my style. I particularly liked their primarily Carignan Sacred Burro and the Dirt Worshiper, which done in the style of Cote Roti. Tastings are waived with every bottle purchases, which is nice. For bottles, they also have library wines, which we took the opportunity to purchase. The patio is child and dog friendly, the hosts are very gracious, and the grounds and view are beautiful! read more

Denner wine is terrific and a very good value. The tasting room is located in a beautiful setting with a view of the vineyards; an all around lovely place to sip wine. However, in our opinion, the best part about Denner is Yule. Yule works for Denner and we have had the pleasure of having Yule as our server several times. He is extremely knowledgeable about so many things, he is engaging, personable and so much fun to talk to. Bottom line, he's a brilliant scientist who knows his stuff! read more

Molly was our wine expert and she was perfect!! She has great stories and knows everything there is to know (and I asked a lot of questions!). We enjoyed some really great wines - we loved them all. We visited here on a Tuesday afternoon so it was almost like having the area to ourselves. This winery has great history and the owner seems like a great guy who knows his wine and, just as important, how to treat employees. Visit here for great wine and greater views. We really enjoyed our wedding anniversary because of Denner Vineyards' dedication to great wine, great staff and great service. Thanks!! read more

Delicious wines! Visited the patio on a chilly day, and they had as many heating options as possible going but the tables in the shade were still cold in February, understandably. The owner was on site chatting with visitors, and it was a treat to hear about the history of a few of the wines. Happily purchased a few bottles that I look forward to enjoying later. read more

This is a beautiful tasting experience. Their large outdoor patio would be great on a fall day. We were there during winter when they had a roaring wood burning fire blazing outside (delicious smell! But probably interferes with a pure tasting). We sat inside. Great service. You can bring your own food here, but you have to eat it on a special part of the patio (couldn't bring food inside)...that was odd, so we just waited to eat until we left. Views are really pretty. I didn't love any of the wines. It was the only place I didn't buy a bottle. They were fine, but not exceptional for me. read more

We have been members for over a year now and love this winery. This weekend we experienced our first "pick-up party" here. What an event! First we had a tasting of all the new releases in the winery. Then there was a catered sit down lunch featuring deconstructed cassoulet. It was absolutely delightful. And to top it all off, all this was on the house. Way to go!!! read more

Having been to Denner over the years, I have seen it continue to grow and that is a testament to their wines. I have to admit that the wines are pricey but they are very well crafted. The tasting room is scenic and Lathan our host was knowledgeable, warm and courteous. He painstakingly explained each varietal and blend and was extremely accommodating. The winery was doing an excellent job managing during the pandemic with all safety protocols being followed. Will be back for sure. read more

I was again impressed with the beauty of the scenic location and the incredible quality and consistency of the wines produced here.

Denner Vineyards - Stunning views - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Couldn't have asked for better weather as I followed newfound friends to their winery. Because they are members, my tasting (& subsequently, lunch) were free;) Denner is striking! From the moment I arrived at the gargantuan gates, the uber modern architecture, the sustainable and environmentally-friendly winery blew me away. With its own B&B, Comus House, pretty and perfect pastoral views, and facing the west, it was a great time of trying wines and chatting. For me, the company bested the wines, as I def prefer fruit forward, very soft wines that don't finish dry. The balance was great on the reds tried, and the first pour, Viognier, went down like water. Bring your own lunch, make a reservation, and simply take in the heady views. read more

This place was a recommendation of some of my personal guests as well as my roommate who had visited back in April - so it was a must on my Paso adventure. The "barrel stave inspired" property design is gorgeous and looks like it was a lot of fun for the architects to build. Molly hosted our group and we had a real great time with her as she lead us through the tasting line up. She has an amazing way of story telling and her descriptions of the wines felt right on and lead to many ah-ha moments in the group. We all fell in love with the Ditch Digger and left with a few bottles of those. Upon getting home, I forgot to get some Theresa and Dirt Worshipper for my roommate, but we will just have to venture back out again soon. The names of the wines were pretty unforgettable and I can't wait to return. read more
