Very relaxed tasting. Disclaimer - I feel like there's always so many different opinions of wine tastings because our palates differ so much and I personally like the wines that come from willow creek area (I'm a huge fan of GSMs), so my rating is heavily based on service. A few of their wines are 100% varietals which I thought was unique compared to other wines in the area. I enjoyed the wines from here, their white wines were the most refreshing, perfect for a warm sunny day! Our server, Bob, was friendly and gave us some background on the winery. He was also attentive and gave us an extra tasting because I casually mentioned being unfamiliar with a certain varietal. The bottles are priced a little higher than others in the area but they are unique and taste great. Fun Fact- Diléctica is Latin-based for loved and beloved so each of their bottle labels has a heart integrated, and it was fun finding throughout the tasting

We stumbled upon this winery set in the middle of the mountains in Paso Robles and it was a great experience. The wine, scenery, vibe and ambiance should not be missed. The art work displayed is created by the family that is also dedicated to the creation of multiple excellent wine selections. Some of the best we've had in Paso. Make sure you put this winery on your next trip itinerary.

Dilecta Winery is so special. The sparkling wine is crisp and refreshing, and the red blends? Absolutely delicious. Smooth, rich, and full of character. Each bottle has its gorgeous artwork, making them feel like collectibles. André, the winemaker, clearly loves what he does. He's super knowledgeable but also super chill, no wine snob vibes, just good conversation and great wine. Pro tip: splurge on the chocolate pairing. You'll thank me later. And the grounds? Stunning. Totally walkable and peaceful. We'll definitely be back. This place is a gem!

Some of the best tasting wine I've ever had! Amazing customer service. I highly recommend you stop here on your wine tasting journey. Sparkling wine was my absolute favorite.

We have been going to Dilecta for a few years now. New owners now and while I loved the quirkiness of the previous honors - the new guys are wonderful and I just love dilecta even more now. Wines are as good as ever - the view and vibe are simply breathtaking. Dog friendly too. Please make sure you come by here. With about 400 choices in the area, it's hard to hone in on MUST go to wineries - but trust me, this is one of them!

Out of all the winery we went to Dilecta was our least favorite. I'm still give them four stars because of the staff were pleasant and accommodating. It's another kid and dog friendly winery with and beautiful outside patio with the views of the valley. As far for the tasting. To me their wines were very tart tasting for me so i really didn't care much for it. Their tasting is $15 for 5 tasting and waive with two bottles purchase.

Wow what a relaxing atmosphere! Enjoyed the tasting and the sweet outdoor cats. Our somm was very knowledgeable and provided a wonderful experience. Highly recommended cab sav !!

The drive to get here is totally worth it. When walking up to the tasting room we were greeted by the resident greeter, Able, a friendly golden retriever. The tasting room is cozy and decorated with their labels and colorful spray painted hearts. Orion, owner and winemaker greeted us and took us through the tasting. Most of the wines had Syrah in them. The grapes are from a few locations: Paso, Santa Barbara, and Santa Ynez. The 1 white he had was a lovely chardonnay. The others were red blends or 100% Syrah. All the wines were smooth and well made. There is even a nice patio area to relax in. Definitely worth the drive to taste some great wines.

Came here as a second stop on our wine tasting path. Dilecta had cool art in the tasting room and on the bottles, all done by the winemaker's mother. The wines were unique and flavorful. Was fun to support a smaller winery.

Beautiful door, cool owner, fun dog, unique art, and delicious wines

Can we bring our own food?

Absolutely! All that we ask is its nothing too smelly as to not interfere with other peoples tastings.

We were even lucky enough to have one of the cats tasting with us the entire time. They had a big covered outdoor patio, but we opted to taste at the bar so we could enjoy the cats and not get wet having to go back and forth between inside and out. The tasting menu consisted of 9 wines, 1 white and 8 reds. Since we had another winery or two ahead of us, we opted to share. My boyfriend was skeptical about sharing at first, but he ended up glad we did because the pours were a pretty decent size. They also had a wall of olive oils and balsamics that you could taste. Plus mustards available for purchase, but not tasting. The hospitality was fantastic! It was a rainy day, the tasting room was packed, and there was only one person working, but he managed to take care of all of us with ease. He constantly knew which wines people were on, and still took the time to chat with everyone about the wines and the animals. This wasn't my favorite wine of the trip, but we did leave with a bottle and also got some oils and a mustard!

The views here are just WOW and it's even adorable driving in. You see the little train tracks they have as well as the small but mighty runway where planes can actually fly in and land. So unique! The views from inside or outside are both spectacular, and I enjoyed the ambiance with live music while we were here on a Sunday. Service was great and the food was even better. We ordered the caprices salad which typically comes with tomatoes, but since the chef only works with what's in season, it came with peas. I can't even tell you how amazing it was -- even my boyfriend wanted more! We split the Halter Ranch Burger and Chicken Sandwich and both were great, but the chicken was just so fresh and delicious. Halter Ranch will definitely become one of our regular stops during our trips to Paso from here on out! Can't wait to be back.

We flew in (!!!) to the airstrip on the property, where we were then given a short ride to the main winery. Landing here requires advanced notice and some paperwork, but wasn't too much of a hassle. We started off with the wine tasting - I enjoyed every wine I tried, especially the rose and CDP. The pours were pretty generous and they let us re-visit our favorite, which was nice. We also split the charcuterie board and chicken sandwich. The charcuterie was alright, but nothing amazing. Same for the chicken sandwich, overall pretty good but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it here. The service was really great, and we enjoyed walking around the property after lunch. I'm definitely excited to come back on one of the days the mini train is running!

I didn't even take a picture of the flights of wine we tasted, though they were fantastic. The facilities here are great. You are on a multi-level terrace, at your own table. It's shaded. It's quiet. It's peaceful. It's beautiful. I am not a wine person. I usually opt for cocktails. But, we came here on a warm day in the late spring. Their white (or more accurately "lighter than red") wines are light and taste like summer. Summer in a glass. You can't go wrong with that. Our wine guide was fantastic. She spent a lot of time with us. Brought us some extra glasses. She was so knowledgeable and so personable. And she attained a first: got me to sign up for their wine club!

THE BLACK AND WHITE: This was our first winery of the day and it didn't disappoint. We came into the parking lot but wanted to extend our son's napping so we drove around the area for another twenty minutes. When the hostess checked us in, she was wondering if we were the folks that drove in and then drove out haha. We sat down and had a red and white tasting that each consisted of 5 wines each. All were pretty good and the white wines definitely had more tropical fruit notes associated with them. The reds were as you expected: big and bold. Had some oak to help mellow out the boldness but definitely a great wine to sip on. THE FINAL BAMBOO: For a red and a white tasting, the damage done here was around $50. We enjoyed the views and the hospitality here. Will be back!

But alas, we finally made it happen, and we had such a great experience. The tasting room is beautiful and grand, it was so cool to hear about the building and how it was restored. Tastings are by appointment, which you can book and schedule online. When you arrive the gate is closed and you buzz in to let them know you're there, so I probably wouldn't try to just walk in. As we approached the tasting room someone met us outside with our first taste of wine, such a nice touch. We sat inside at one of the comfortable couch settings, but they also had bar seating and bigger tables larger groups. You are also able to take your wine outside and explore a little bit, which we did. We noticed other groups with dogs, so they are dog friendly even inside! We were helped by Taylor who led us through the tasting, which was already set up and ready to go at the table when we arrived. Even though the wines were all out, she stopped in as we worked our way through them to talk about them a bit more. Including the welcome pour when we arrive, the tasting menu had 2 whites and 3 reds when we were in. We ended up trying a couple other wines that weren't in the tasting, and ended up getting bottles of the sensibility from the menu and a zin that was and off menu pour. Would absolutely come back here for an elevated and sophisticated wine experience that doesn't feel stuffy at all.

Staff were just sitting around chatting amongst themselves, not checking in on guests. Second, when they did have time to come by, they harassed me about my 2 year old and told us to keep an eye on her and made sure we were watching her. Our party had 7 adults and one child - and one of us were always with her (there's loose roosters running around, and droppings everywhere - it's not a space for unsupervised play). The wine was mediocre. The food options were terrible. Even if I didn't have a kid, I would skip - there are far better wineries, with better wine, staff, food, and prices. This place is not worth anyone's time.
