Unfortunately, it ended up being a bit disappointing for me. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and it wasn't loud at all, which made it easy to sit back and enjoy a conversation with my husband at a comfortable volume. The setting itself was great! Unfortunately, the food was a letdown. We ordered a $24 pizza that had virtually no flavor. The sauce was plain, the cheese was tasteless, and overall, it mostly tasted like plain dough. For me, it was especially disappointing because this was our first stop to kick off our vacation. That said, my husband really enjoyed the lamb, so there was at least one dish that stood out for him. Our waiter was great very kind and understanding and he was nice enough to remove the pizza from our check without any hesitation. I truly appreciated the customer service. Overall, the beautiful setting, relaxing atmosphere, and great service were positives, but I really hope the kitchen works on adding more flavor and seasoning to their pizzas. It's a gorgeous place, and I wanted to love the experience, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting.

The wines are always delicious, and I love their outdoor setup with the cabanas and high-top seating. Since it was a last-minute stop, they didn't have availability for a tasting, but they did let us do bottle service outside. We loved sitting outdoors! It was a super hot weekend, so it was definitely hot out there, but thankfully there was a nice breeze that felt really good. We chose the GMS, which is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, and we all loved it. Such a beautiful, rich red with a really smooth finish. We always love Austin Hope wines, and as usual, this one did not disappoint.

We got their standard tasting which was 5 pours I believe. 1 white the rest were reds. They had a couple special members only bottles open but they weren't super busy on a Thursday afternoon so we got to try those too. All of the wines were delicious honestly! My favorite was the Silken. The tasting room is beautiful and pretty big. They have a ton more seating on the wrap around porch and downstairs on the patio. They also have a short but good menu for food items as well. We got their charcuterie plate, a bowl of their daily soup, and a small salad. Everything was fresh with good flavor and the bread was addicting! Even my wife that doesn't eat bread couldn't put it down. I do wish the soup came out a bit hotter but it was tasty with a nice kick to it. Would definitely come back to Parrish for a tasting next time I'm in town.

We checked in and were treated to a tasting of their Zinfandel Nouveau upon arrival while they got out table ready... nice and refreshing for a warm afternoon. We were seated in the separate dining room building across the patio with lovely panoramic views of the vineyards on one side and a floral garden on the other. Josh, our server, poured our 4 other shared tasting flight as we perused the menu... Chardonnay, Grenache, Syrah and Super Paso (red blend). Wines were all lovely, but our favorites were the Zinfandel Nouveau and an extra treat pour of Zinfandel. The food was delightful too... * Focaccia with Avocado Butter -- So good (and I don't usually indulge in bread). Nice lightly crunchy crust with soft chewy centers. * Marinated Olives * Golden beet salad with arugula, picked onions and artichoke feta dip -- yum, and perfect dipping to finish off the focaccia. * Fresh Grilled Halibut with a mole Blanco sauce -- Fresh caught from nearby Morro Bay. Perfectly grilled, moist and flavorful. Excellent! Good food paired with food wine, great service, and beautiful surroundings...We look forward to visiting again.

So all that energy spent on how difficult it was to get a table this late in the game should have just welcomed us in. Even the entry bar had just 2 people seated. We didn't care for the wine so we won't be back.

Our plans changed and instead of having 3 people for a tasting, we ended up having 5, and they were able to accommodate us no problem. We chose to sit outside where we could view some vineyards across the street. Of the 3 wineries we visited, this is the only one where they brought the wine tastings to us rather than doing the tasting standing at the bar. It made for a more relaxing experience in my opinion, and our group was able to talk and eat the charcuterie board with enough space on the table. The tasting was quite generous, and at the end of the tasting, the owner asked us if we wanted any additional tastes of anything which was a really nice touch. I also really enjoyed hearing the owner's story and which grapes they grow and where they grow on the property.

The setup feels very personal, with individual staff members taking the time to explain each wine and the different varietals and blends. One of the most fun and unique parts of the tasting was a blind tasting they included after we had tried a few of their wines. You're given a list and challenged to identify the wine based on the varietals and characteristics you've just been learning about. It was a fun, interactive way to test your palate and learn more about wine along the way. Law focuses primarily on Rhône-style wines, with Syrah and Grenache playing a strong role throughout their lineup. My husband really enjoyed the wines, while this tasting helped me realize that I personally prefer more Bordeaux-style wines and Cabernet-based reds. The setting is peaceful, elegant, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and very informative. We also saw a dog enjoying the outdoor area, so it appears to be a nice option for those traveling with a pup. Even though the wine style wasn't necessarily my personal favorite, we really enjoyed the experience. It's a great place to learn more about wine, discover what varietals you enjoy, and experience a beautiful, intimate Paso Robles tasting.

We visited again!…read more The food? Incredible! How does this place not have a Michelin star? How? The wine? Excellent! The server - Olivia - was very knowledgable about the wine and food. If you are looking for a wine pairing with food, where the wine works with the food, this is one of the places in Paso Robles you need to visit. Make a reservation - the food is custom prepared. Be willing to go with the flow. You aren't getting hamburgers here - you are getting actual haute cuisine. Cutting edge stuff. If you are willing to give it a try, your mouth will water. The pairings are just so good. The valley view, the cats, the staff are just so friendly and attentive. We joined the wine club a few years ago, and came today and were not disappointed. The lunch entree was a Chili Verde Pork Tamale for example. You are probabaly asking what does that taste like - my answer is that it tasted wonderful.

Le Cuvier is up at the top of the hill with sweeping views of the whole valley. It's a narrow, winding path to get to the top so drive carefully! Once you arrive, its a colorful, quirky, nature-filled, calm retreat. We got to meet both friendly winery cats, Otis and ( swear I thought I'd remember the other one's name!) Cat presence always gets extra points from me. We were seated on the large shaded outdoor patio, and we were the only customers there. It was late in the day and I guess the midday rush had all just vacated at once. Our server was really great at describing the winemaking process, flavor profiles and history of the winery, but the patio was completely silent. We took out a phone to play our own music and she commented that her mother did the same thing when she visits. Dining experiences need music! If they're aware of this, I hope they consider adding some soft music for a more comfortable ambiance. Wines - All of the wines here are natural, which not many wineries can claim in this area, and I tasted some very unique blends like nothing I've tasted before. My favorite was the Syrah, but the rest of the wines weren't really my style. Food - The menu is changed regularly and it's obvious that the chef enjoys putting it together! We didn't get to try the ramen that my friend raved about because of the new menu, but we loved the mini "street taco" tostada and the spam maki. I did think some dishes would have been better served hot, like the orange-glazed chicken thigh. This was such a cool, unique experience and it sounds like you'll never have the same experience twice! Would recommend to anyone.
