Really relaxing space and super comfortable wine tasting experience. Loved the knowledge from the employees, and yet, they didn't hover so we could digest what they said as we tasted. Left with a few bottle and will most definitely be back! Very interesting variety and surprised myself by what I liked. Try it all! read more

Came here for the last taste of the day. We went here because we heard that they had a great white selection. A person in our group was a big white drinker. The location is awesome. Tin City is really amazing. So much surrounding this place. The inside felt very much like being at home but with a school vibe to do the lockers where they store there wine in. Isabelle took care of us and she was absolutely amazing. Always willing to recommend options for us. She was beyond friendly. Despite being close to closing time she didn't rush us in anyway. She even shared some food with my 3.5 year old as she was needing a little something. We ended up sharing ghost stories for a bit with her so that was really fun. What I liked is that she actually sat down with us and talked about the wine. Like I said I felt at home. The whites were very good. Unique varietials were offered. My friend who liked the whites was very pleased. The reds were also solid. I ended up with a bottle of franc for home and I joined the wine club. Isabelle was a huge reason we joined the club. If your tasting on the weekend ask for her she is awesome. Can't wait to go back for some more fun at this winery. Also a very high value winery as the bottles were very fair. Check it out. read more

People were friendly but the 'wine' is disgusting. I guess you need to go in there with an open mind because it's all very experimental and IMHO an epic fail. read more

We love the variety of wines offered, the tasting room is lovely and Tressa was outstanding! She assisted us with our tastings as well as helped us choose the wines for our daughter's wedding! She even wheeled out all the boxes of wine to the van! We are now club members & look forward to returning! read more

Cute place. The vibe is fun, looks like a recording studio and the lockers along the back wall bring back childhood memories. The colors are soothing as well. The sofa is so comfortable! Wine and this sofa is dangerous! We enjoyed a flight of wine and bubbly. Both were tasty. I brought home loomis #2. read more

Let me start by saying that I'm not a wine enthusiast and wine is not my 21+ beverage of choice but after visiting Field Recordings, I've discovered my new favorite winery. Their tasting room can be found on the top story of a two-story building in Tin City, Paso Robles. Since they do not serve food, they allow their customers to bring in outside food and there's a fabulous Italian restaurant called Etto Pasta Bar conveniently located downstairs. According to their website, Winemaker Andrew Jones "strives for unique wines loaded with personality and a one-of-a-kind experience." If that was his goal, I'd commend him on a mission well accomplished. This tasting room is not pretentious in any way and I appreciated the modern design and comfortable furniture. My wife reserved a tasting and I sampled most of her wines and there wasn't a single one I wouldn't try again. Isabelle greeted us and we learned she had only been there around a month and she was already so knowledgeable about the wines they offered. She made us all feel comfortable and provided above-and-beyond service despite having other customers and no additional help. I informed her I was not into wine and so she introduced me to their collection of sparkling apple wines including the Malus and Alta Gaviota which were fruity and refreshing. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and we left with two bottles. We'll def be back to Field Recordings the next time we visit Paso Robles! read more

What an INCREDIBLE second visit today to Field Recordings near Paso Robles in Tin City. Tressa and Isabelle spent precious time with us chatting, wine tasting, and comparing life-notes of growing up and moving about as youngsters of US military and civil servant parents. A shout-out to Zach, Casey, and Rob whose first-visit welcoming to Field Recordings was unparalleled. Visiting Field Recordings for a good wine-tasting of fabulous vintages and excellent camaraderie of personnel is worth every minute. read more

Would have been better but didn't get to try. Arrived at 415 and said they were not doing tasting. They close at 5, plenty of time for a few splashes. read more

Such a cool place. All the wines in the tasting we had were delicious, and compared to other wineries in the area they gave us a bigger "splash" of wine in every glass. Some places around here will only give ya maybe half a sip for your tastings lol. Customer service was fantastic amd made us feel right at home. The comfy couches and super nice patio area added to the comfort. You can easily spend a couple hours just relaxing and sipping on some wines here for sure. Lots of merch options available too to purchase. We'll be back on our next visit! read more

Went in an hour before closing this Monday and received a warm welcome, perfectly paced service and an overall lovely experience from the woman who poured for us. My friend and I had bubbly tastings which were so delicious, unique and uplifting! My wife had the still wine tasting and loved everything! Ambiance is great, service was so informative and thoughtful, we can't wait to come back! read more

Great spot with some cool character. We were here during a VERY hot weekend. But this was a nice place to chill and escape some of the heat. We had a beer and a wine flight. Both were great. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. There were only two of them during Labor Day weekend and they were hustling! Running from table to table and taking care of everyone. I was impressed. I'm not sure what this space used to be, but it clearly goes off gymnasium or bowling alley vibes. Very cool. read more

My type of winery! Hipster, school aesthetics type of vibe. The outdoor patio area definitely makes me feel like I'm back in high school. My favorite wine was the Foxie, which is a sparkling white wine spritzer fermented with amarillo hops and quince. Super refreshing! I couldn't believe that this was wine because it tasted so much like beer. The wine and beer flights were decent, and I loved how they served us the wine in little beakers. read more

Came here for some wine tasting after grabbing lunch at the pasta spot next door. Very laid back ambience. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It was a nice day in Paso so we opted to chill outside on their adirondacks. Our server Alex was very friendly and accommodating. We went with the classic tasting and there was some good variety in those pours! Alex was super chill and gave us enough info on the tastings we were enjoying but also gave us plenty of time between pours to simply enjoy ourselves. If you find yourself in Paso Robles or Tin City, be sure to check this spot out! read more

My husband and I visited a couple of weekends ago and had the best tasting experience with Kat. The wine was great, the space is great, but Kat was the star of the show. She made an effort to connect with us, she knew her stuff and she gave us great suggestions. She went above and beyond to find me something I would love and at the end of the day I was quite surprised that every bottle we took home was from the bubbles tasting. Can't wait to go back. Looking forward to seeing Kat again. read more

Such a fun and fabulous tasting at Field Recordings! Very unique space that is unpretentious. We tried the orange wines and they were excellent! I mean, truly stunning and delicious wines. Domo Arigato was my favorite. The service was also very pleasant and we had a great, leisurely tasting on a hot, sunny Friday afternoon. Yum! read more

A nice place. You have to go up two flights of steps to get to field recordings. Plenty of seating indoors and a patio you can also sit on. Apricot beer is light and refreshing , pretty good. Would recommend. Had a glass of Valdigue, which was semi sweet and a little tart. Friendly worker and a nice atmosphere. read more

We had such a fun wine tasting here with Kat!! She was so personable and approachable and walked us through both wine facts/history and had us try exciting new wines we probably wouldnt have leaned towards, but loved. Like the Pet Nat, Kat's personality is very bubbly and she made us feel well taken care of and not rushed. The tasting room is very non-traditional and modern (not located on a vineyard) and extremely chill, in keeping with Field's unique and non-trad wines. I liked the fact that you could choose between a red/white tasting or a bubbly tasting - something for everyone. Winewise I suggest you try Posie, the Fiasco, the Alta Nebbiolo and their best selling Wonderwall. There is also a cute Italian place downstairs or you can being your own food. we'll be back! read more

Not my kind of champagne. Disappointed because they had so many champs but it was a nice place and the staff was very friendly read more

the pours for the tasting are insultingly tiny-- and the candles in the room make it smell like a raid ant killer spray.

Field Recordings is located in Tin City and has a cool laid back vibe. We did a tasting on the outdoor balcony and with membership the tasting fees were waived. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable spending a lot of time with us talking through the history and thought process behind each wine/naming. They play great music here too! read more

Came near the end of the day. We tried their standard flight. The tasting was pretty straight forward and nothing new. I feel they there was a lack of buzz or excitement around their own wines and might have been the host. She was not rude but felt a little scripted. With so many tasting rooms and great wines in the area it takes a lot to make an impression. I will give it another try when in the area again. read more

This is a really fun place for wine tasting in Tin City. They have an upstairs spacious tasting room where you can sample several wines. The wide range of interesting, eclectic varietals have unusual names, like Pets (a delicious Petite Sirah), Happy Accidents, and Expensive Landscape. I tried a meaty Italian red called Alta Gaviota, using the Lagrein grape, which I'd never tried. It was full of tannins and fruit forward, which I liked. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed tooling around Tin City, an upscale, trendy area to for trying boutique wines and beers. On the lower level, stop in the Italian market-- it offers a great assortment of picnic items, fresh sandwiches, pastas, and gifts. Tin City is well worth visiting if you're in the area. read more

We were almost going to pass this place and a friend stated we should try it and we were like ok, whatever, OMG, I'm soo glad we gave it a chance because it was one of our favorite spots! The venue was super chill, they had various album covers on the walls that we discovered with the staff as far as who they belonged to, we also played a game and it ate our dollar and they let us do it again once they fixed it! The staff was super funny and one was from our area, so we reminisced with him, and they had this special bottle of bubbly that we all got and they offered to keep it for us until we were done for the day! How nice was that! Then he also offered to by our photographer, which is every girls dream and it was just soo fun! also the music was popping, I wish I could just stay there and download their playlist and listen to it all the time, I was sad to leave LOL The wines were good, I bought two bottles, the staff was just full of fun vibes and totally friendly to hang with and it was just such a great experience. read more

Just another fun winery in Tin City. The tasting price fee is voided if two wines are bought. The wines are totally subjective, so I don't like to base my vote based on how much I liked or disliked the wines (I liked the wines). The winery is incredibly fun; imagine a wine called "Expensive Landscapes" that only exists because the winery decided to ask a bunch of rich people in the Paso area for their grapes since the residents only wanted the grapevines for the aesthetic and status of having wine grapes in wine country. For outright uniqueness, consider the canned wines. Some of them, including the cabernet with stout yeast is pretty much a beer-wine. It's weird and unique. Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't. read more

With so many nice tasting choices in Tin City, it's daunting to choose! Our group was very glad we wondered into Field Recordings. It was different--in a great way--and lots of fun, in part thanks to our knowledgeable and equally fun host. Their outside balcony is perfect for these times, and we enjoyed the background tunes. Plus we were able to bring in gourmet treats from the adjacent Italian special shop to accompany our tasting with a picnic lunch. No pressure here to buy but we happily left with a few bottles. Our time at Field Recordings was a highlight of our Paso Robles weekend. read more

A great stop in the Tin City group of urban wineries. Very eclectic winery with a wide variety of wines, mostly blends. As others mentioned, they do offer their Fiction canned wine that is perfect for picnics. But when you come visit, they are more likely to pour their upper end Field Recordings label which is more traditional. (trivia: each of the bottle labels are shaped like the actual vineyards) I love their story- the owner was experienced in the agricultural side of the wine business and was able to source great fruit and soon became a winemaker. When you visit the tasting room, you may meet Lily- a beautiful black and white Great Dane who is content to lie in her bed and watch guests sip and swirl their glasses.... read more

Love this place. My wife discovered their wine down in Lo Angeles and we ended up ordering a few bottles at the beginning of the pandemic. A few bottles evolved into multiple, larger orders throughout the pandemic as we fell in love with virtually all of their wines. This past summer we were finally able to swing by the winery itself, and we were so impressed by everything--the knowledgable and friendly staff, the selection of wines, the decor, and location (Field Recordings in is a little cul de sac called Tin City, which is a ton of fun to wander around in if you want to take a day off from wandering from far away winery to another far-off winery) read more

A totally different vibe to Paso area wine tasting.... And I loved it! Tasty, cool, non pretentious wine lineup featuring unusual grapes and wines rarely seen here. Our server Daniel was SO good and incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, and he was quick to open a wine we really wanted to try. As for wine, the Barberra, the summer white, and the sparkling wines here are terrific. In fact we bought a wine club membership on our first trip. Can't wait to bring our out of town friends to this place. If you want an informal, no pressure spot to enjoy some yummy local wines place Field Recordings at the top of your list. read more

I've been here three times now, and I have mixed feelings about the quality of wine. There are some that I enjoy and others that I can't drink. I do like that they have several sparkling wines. I think they are also starting a brewery, and they offer wine in cans to go. One thing that really throws me off is their decor--it's decorated like a high school cafeteria/gym. Soooo maybe a good spot for a group of guys out tasting? I will say that the variety and lower price point sets it apart from the nicer specialty wineries in our area. Good place, depending on what you're looking for. read more

First thing I can say is CANNED WINE...yes canned. I've had boxed and bottled, but this is a first for us. They can some of the wines and it doesn't seem to do anything to deter the flavor of it. They also sell it in four packs and we picked up a four pack of the "Alloy Wine Works" which is a blend and cost us $40, but one can is equivalent to 2/3 of a 750 ML bottle of wine (did I use too many numbers?) The grapes are bought not estate so they likely get a larger choice on those to determine what to make and can...still can't get used to that one. It was interesting, small, but interesting. By appointment only and way off the beaten tract in a section off the 101 that looks more industrial than winery. Give it a shot...the least you can do is say you tried canned wine. read more

Not a huge fan, we stumbled on this place as we walked into tin city and decided to take a chance. It had a basketball auditorium aesthetic which made me feel younger at heart, but ultimately felt really old drinking. We did one wine tasting and one beer tasting. Both my boyfriend and i were very disappointed with the wines, especially the orange wine. We had never heard of orange wines before this and it tastes like medicine. Overall, we didn't enjoy any of the wines we tasted or any of the beers. I would pass on this given there are so many other options in tin city read more

I love the vibe, but the wine's honestly not very good, for which there's really no excuse in Paso Robles in general and Tin City in specific. read more

Wine attendant was friendly and the space is clean and cool. The wine was just not our jam. We threw out a lot of it. Very light and acidic, not a lot of depth. At 20.00 a tasting we were really disapointed. Tim City itself is cool and we'll have to try out some of the other wineries. read more
