I stopped in to share a bottle of bright, festive Champagne with a friend and immediately understood why this place has such a loyal following. The staff has that rare ability to make you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. Genuine smiles, easy conversation, and hospitality that never feels rehearsed. The interior is a designer's dream--warm, layered, a little smoky, and filled with interesting textures that invite you to slow down and look around. Truth be told, I originally wandered in as a location scout for Alchemyic Artisan, but I happily stayed for the bubbles and the ambiance. And if the moon happens to be in the right mood, you may have the pleasure of meeting Melane'... an intuitive with an infectious spirit who occasionally appears to be quietly crocheting while waiting for the next spiritual download to arrive. If you're lucky enough to have her read your tarot cards, lean in. Whether you're a believer or simply curious, she's an absolute delight. Come for the Champagne. Stay for the conversation. Leave inspired. A must-stop for anyone who appreciates great wine, thoughtful design, and places with genuine soul.

As a Paso Robles local, I've always enjoyed visiting Serial Wine Room and have generally had great…read moreexperiences with the staff, wine selection, and atmosphere. It's one of those places I genuinely enjoy coming back to. I especially want to recognize Anthony, who has consistently provided exceptional customer service every time I've visited. Whether it's busy or slow, whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, he treats everyone with the same level of warmth, professionalism, and hospitality. Employees like Anthony are a big part of what keeps customers coming back. Jenny and Abby have also always been friendly, welcoming, and a pleasure to interact with. Unfortunately, my experience has not been as consistent with everyone. My first experience with Sean was excellent, but on later visits I noticed a significant difference in his customer service when he wasn't directly serving me. The friendliness and attentiveness I experienced initially seemed to be missing, which left me feeling unwelcome. The reason I'm sharing this feedback is because consistency matters. Great hospitality should be extended to all guests, regardless of who is serving them. Serial Wine Room has so much going for it, and with more consistent customer service across the team, it would make the experience even better. I share this as constructive feedback because I truly enjoy supporting local businesses and want to continue recommending Serial Wine Room to others.

Huge thanks to that goes to our host, Tamara. She was an absolute delight! Our glasses were never empty and she was just such a funny, quirky host. About halfway through our flight, she took us downstairs for the cave tour. Wow, what a stunner! Such a unique touch to this winery. The other incredible thing is that Eberle doesn't charge for tastings so you might as well pick up a bottle or two :)

The history alone is enough to get you through the door, but the wine is what keeps you there. Pair the tasting with all the stories behind the winery, and it's easily one of the more interesting experiences in Paso. The staff is also incredibly friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The patio is a beautiful spot to taste, and if you're there later in the day, the sunset views are hard to beat. Definitely do the free cave tour while you're there. It's one of the coolest winery tours I've been on. The caves are a massive labyrinth carved into the hillside and naturally stay around 55 degrees year round, which is where they age a lot of their wine before bottling. Even if you've been to a lot of wineries, this is something a little different. At the time I'm writing this, tastings are still complimentary, which is almost unheard of these days. If you go, do them a favor and leave with a bottle or two. That's how places like this are able to keep offering experiences like this, and honestly, you'll probably want to take some wine home anyway.

LXV is especially known for pairing wine with custom spice and flavor experiences that complement the tasting. They traditional wine tasting and a wine-and-cheese pairing experience (which I highly recommend). The cheeses are coated with the different blends of LXV's own herbs and spices, adding a unique layer of flavor to each tasting. If you enjoy cooking or simply appreciate bold, and well balanced flavors, chances are you'll leave with a few spice blends to take home along with a bottle or two of wine. I highly recommend checking them out.

Our first stop when we arrived in Paso. We've been to so many wineries, this would be one of our top 10. The spice pairing is unique but pairs so well with the wine. Buy 3 bottles to waive the fee. Since it's more of boutique, the bottles are quite pricey, mostly ranging near the 100s. But it was our favorite the whole weekend we went there. And we bought 6 bottles. We loved the spell and got 3 bottles of that! It's a Syrah cab blend. Has the Paso flavor that we love. It's not a vineyard, just a tasting room but worth a visit. We met the wine maker too. Friendly and attentive service. Can't wait to pop open a bottle at home soon!

Her humor and conversation really made the time fly by. For tastings, I loved that you get to select your choice of 5 wines from their large selection. They have a big tv behind the bar area that you can request sports games on - we watched the World Cup game! The best part of our experience was engaging with the locals. The wonderful people we met - both working here and returning customers are clearly so connected as a community and were very welcoming to us out-of-towners.

Unlike most tasting rooms in Paso, including many of the downtown ones, they are open nice and late - 8pm most nights and 9pm on Friday and Saturday. They primarily serve reds (with a rosé available for tasting while we were in, and a white available by the bottle only) and specialize in Spanish varietals. I really liked the educational sheets they had about the Paso Robles AVA, and the map of the different districts. Wines weren't our absolute favorite, but we did end up getting a bottle of one of their garnacha's to bring home! Hope to come back and try their Albariño sometime and maybe do a glass/bottle over a tasting.

What we didn't expect was to be completely blown away. The facility is on the smaller side without a lot of frills, but honestly that's part of the charm. The staff are warm and genuine, and you can feel their pride in both the winery and the wines they produce. The focus here is on GSM blends and other Rhône varietals, along with Bordeaux blends and varietals -- big, bold, and fruit-forward, but balanced enough to keep things interesting glass after glass. We had such a great experience that we joined the wine club before we left. We don't live locally, but the Ecluse Enthusiast membership is absolutely worth it -- especially with only a 6-bottle annual commitment. It's given us a great reason to make Paso an annual trip, and Ecluse is always one of our must-stop favorites. Since joining, the winery has gone through some exciting changes. They've built out a beautiful terrace overlooking the vineyard, and they were acquired by Thibido Winery. We were a little nervous about what that might mean for the brand we loved, but they've stayed true to keeping both labels separate and distinct -- and we've only benefited from it, since we now get to taste wines from both when we come for our annual pickup. We can't wait to spend more time on that terrace during our next visit. If you're putting together a Paso Robles wine itinerary, Ecluse deserves a spot on it.

Loved Ecluse so much we ended up becoming members!…read more This winery had been recommended to me by some other people who frequent Paso, so while planning our November trip down here we decided they were a good contender. After looking at their website and reading that they specialize in French style reds and offer a barrel sample with all of their tastings, this place quickly jumped to the top of our list. We didn't have a reservation, and it was getting close to their closing time, so we called ahead and asked if they had room for us, and we were told to come on up! We were helped by Sandy, Michael, and Steve (who is the owner). Just in our first three pours, we were helped by and talked to each one of them. They were all extremely friendly and knowledgeable on the wine, and very fun to chat with. The vibe here is super casual and everyone feels like family. We really liked all of the wines and getting to hang out in the barrel room, plus the hospitality was great, so joining the club was a no-brainer. We ended up taking home our shipment and two other bottles that we had tasted that weren't included in the shipment. Excited to come back here over the years and grow our collection and start aging our Ecluse wines!

It was pretty hot, so about halfway through the tasting, we sat down at a table in the shade and walked up for the rest of our tastings but by that time, a large group had come through so the server was busier but still managed to remember where we were in the tasting. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. When we were done with our tastings, we walked around the property to look at the sculptures and the grounds.

I was looking for a specific Armenian wine that I couldnt find in Santa Barbara or SYV, and I had a Paso trip planned. I was happy to have found it at this store by searching the website. I called the day before and asked about purchasing online and picking up. They said no problem, they will pull and hold for me. The next day I stopped by and asked for the hold. A very rude lady accused me of always holdng items and not picking up (short, short hair). She said my name quite loudly. She said "let's be honest here Lisa, you have done this before". I had never been to this store or asked for wine to be held prior to this. Others in my party left and would not purchase because of this behavior. It was embarrassing. The other staff were very nice and helpful.
