Jon was the best driver. He replied promptly to my request for a driver for wine tasting in Paso Robles planned for the next day. My sister and I were looking for wineries that were dog friendly and he recommended some for us. We booked one of his recommendations along with 2 other wineries. He arrived promptly and met us at our hotel lobby. He drove us to the wineries and stayed in the area to wait for us. When it came time for our next scheduled reservation, he came to get us and carried our wine to the car. He made sure we took pictures in the scenery and took several shots for us. The second winery was Venteux, his recommendation, which was perfect for our dogs. It had a big field of grass for the dogs to play in. Since we came the week after Thanksgiving, we and the dogs had the place to ourselves. Jon pulled the car up for us while we were ordering our wines and again brought the bottles to the car. By the 3rd reservation, we were reaching our wine limit and were very glad we had a great designated driver to get us back to our hotel safely. I wholeheartedly recommend this service and will be using it again. For 2 girls traveling by ourselves, we felt very safe with Jon.

A group of us were meeting up in Paso for a wine tasting weekend, so I immediately looked to Yelp to find a DD. Designated Wine Drive received great reviews and after talking to Bob Barker I knew it would be a great fit for what our group needed. Beth was our driver this last weekend and she probably knew she would have her hands full after meeting all of us. She did an EXCELLENT job driving us around to the wineries we had selected, as well as, recommending some we had not thought of trying before. Beth brought along some yummy snacks for us to enjoy and ice cold water that was much needed after the third winery. She made it very easy for us to get in and out of each winery making sure we were being taken care of and had all of our purchases before leaving. We never felt rushed and were all very relaxed knowing that we were in good hands with Beth at the wheel. The day after our trip, Beth came by and dropped off a CD that had all of the pictures she had taken throughout the day. She captured some great candid and posed shots that were so much fun to look at and share with our group. Thank you Beth for making our day so memorable and FUN!! We would recommend you anytime and hope to see you again on our next visit.

See all

Do the driver's drive rental cars?

Hi! This looks like a great Paso transportation option! Do the drivers come into the wineries with you while you taste or wait for you outside/in the car?

Our driver Bob usually waited outside, but hung out with people from the winery since he knew them all. As the day went on, we asked him to join us which was fantastic because we got extra special service. It was a GREAT way to go wine tasting.

He was really great & friendly. He also was very knowledgeable about Paso Robles and answered every question that we had. There were 10 of us and we can be a little too much, but Chris was super patient with us. He went out of his way to go back to the last winery when one of the girls left her phone at there. Really appreciate him going the extra mile. The bride to be was also very happy with how everything turned out! For anyone looking to do a wine tour in Paso Robles, we highly recommend this place. If you could, also recommend Chris! He was amazing & more! Chris - thank you so much for putting up with us! We really appreciate your service today!

He worked with all my questions and gave a ton of recommendations based off what I was looking for. He gave great options for food and made all the reservations needed for the day. We were lucky enough to have Jed as our guide for the day. Pick up was on time and we went rolling on. He got us checked into the wineries and made sure we were settled and checked back to make sure we were on schedule. He was easy going even when we decided to cut the tour one winery short and grab coffee instead. He even called to cancel the reservation- super planned and thoughtful Would definitely book with Jed again if in the area.

Great value for the experience - plus, it was just the two of us with no one else joining us on the tour even though others could join, so it turned into a private experience for us! Michael was extremely personable, friendly and knowledgeable. We loved having someone so knowledgeable to show us around so we didn't have to drive ourselves. We visited three different wineries and they were all unique and interesting with a variety of wines. We visited Thacher (6 tastings plus a bonus pour of cider), Whalebone Winery (9 pours - wow!) and McPrice Myers (5 pours plus a bonus). Plus lunch, which was included in the price (sandwich and potato salad and cookie)!!! Great scenery and a beautiful day to enjoy our tastings booth inside and outside each winery. We also learned so much from each person serving us too. Michael also went out of his way to point out local restaurants and favorite bars and speakeasies in the area along the way. Finally, we left a sweater on the van and Michael called us to let us know and he drove back to return it to us. We really appreciated his kindness and great customer service. We had a great time and would definitely book with Grapeline Wine Tours again. Thank you so much Michael for a lovely day!!!!

Second and most importantly, I wanted to thank Toast Tours for a wonderful and memorable experience, from beginning to end. My Wife and I were making our first visit to the Central Coast, and decided that visiting some local wineries would be a nice way to get more acquainted with the area. I liked some of the reviews I had seen on Yelp regarding Toast Tours, as well as watching a a few quick YouTube vids before contacting them. From the very start, Kristina was a huge help. Thank you again. I conveyed some of what were looking to do on this trip, as well as our past experiences in Napa and Sonoma. Kristina did a masterful job of giving us options. Some more mainstream and like we have experienced before, as well as some smaller, boutique style options. Every question, she had an answer and suggestion for, and when we decided to book, I was confident in our choices. Toast Tours also takes care of the reservations, so that's one less thing to worry about as well. We chose to visit three wineries; Tablas, DAOU, and Ciento. All three were an amazing experience (I'll write more about those individually on their pages). I do want to highlight Ciento, however. This was a direct recommendation from Kristina, and they really stole the show. We would have never known or visited this wonderful winery if it wasn't for Kristina and Toast Tours. Our driver, Jimmy, was on time and extremely courteous. He has a wealth of wine knowledge, as well as local area knowledge, and he shared them in a fun and engaging way. He was a great help at each of the wineries, getting us in and out with our reservations, while also assising with our purchases. Thanks again, Jimmy!. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and they provide water and some small snacks, if needed. Another thing I want to mention that was very nice as well is the price. While these types tours can be a bit pricey at times, I feel their rates are more than reasonable. Kristina itemizes everything beforehand, so there are no surprises. If you decide to make some small changes to the itinerary, Toast Tours will work with you, and give you the cost differential. Exceptional service from top to bottom, and I would gladly and confidently book with Toast Tours again..

Beware! *** And be…read moresure to read owner's response to this review, then look at the screen shots of the emails that I received regarding their discriminatory practices, THEN decide if you want to trust these guys with your vacation time. No accountability, just anger, greed, and insults from owner. Jeez. Jason, read again what your employee sent me. That's not "downright untrue" or "slanderous" -- that's your staff, verbatim. And God forbid any paying customer -- solo or not -- has a problem with a wine tour, for we can see the level of cordiality, care, and accountability they'll encounter *** The Wine Line discriminates against solo travelers and refuses to do business with them unless you agree to a hefty solo supplement -- for a shared tour! I was once a happy repeat customer, but when trying to book last year, a representative told me, word for word (see emails in photos), this: "We are currently not servicing single passengers due to the work required... your patronage is simply untenable, financially." Wow, my patronage is simply untenable. That's straight up greed with a dose of haughty nastiness. I've never heard anything like that before, ever, from any business, and I've dealt with some truly awful and shady businesses before. Also: want to bring your pup along? No more, and especially if you are traveling solo with one: "It's just a bit burdensome and financially a loss to accommodate a single... particularly with a dog." Wow, we're a bit burdensome too. This policy and this attitude is the opposite of the welcoming spirit I experienced from them before. If they're comfortable sidelining solo guests, I can't help but wonder what other corner-cutting decisions, surcharges, and greediness now lurks behind the facade they project on Yelp and on their website. I truly regret having given them a glowing review in the past. To anyone who heeded my previous advice and ended up deceived, I apologize. Avoid. We don't need to condone this behavior from ANY business.
