Having a glass outside in the patio area
Natalie L.

This is one of our fave smaller and quaint tasting rooms! Family owned and they are so sweet. We have been here twice and each encounter has been pleasant and fun. Today we had a glass of the Tre Sorelle and it was fresh and crisp. Definitely recommend checking this place out that's not too crowded, great wine and allows a chance to strike up a conversation with the owners. Very personable!

I came here for wine tasting with my boyfriend on a Sunday afternoon, no reservation was needed and we just walked in and they were able to help us! The atmosphere is very relaxed here and perfect for a relaxing date activity. There was indoor bar standing room available as well as outdoor seating. We tried the $20 wine tasting flight of 5 wines and all wines were very tasty. We bought a bottle which waived one tasting fee. They also had a Cabernet Sauvignon library wine tasting available, so we tried that as well and that too was tasty! Overall, it's a very welcoming place and would recommend visiting at least once! Parking was easy and available in a small parking lot in front of the ranch.

The best wine ever

Absolutely stunning wedding and venue , now let's talk about the wine !! I'm not a big fan of wine I usually get headaches from it but my husband insisted I try the Albariño wine , oh I bet he regrets that decision !! Yes thank you very much I'll take a case home , I love it !! It's not too sweet with a subtle dry and grape flavor. If you're looking for a venue for a wedding look no further this place is gorgeous with outstanding customer service.

What a great little spot off Hwy 101. The original Swiss-Italian family settled here and bought the land in the early 1900's as a dairy farm. It now serves as a tasting room for the wine they make. Such sweet and personable people with a great story to tell. Worth the stop as they also sell some charcuterie plates to have with your wine. Cheers win!!!

Amazing wine, great service and very friendly owners. They ran out of charcuterie plates but yet came up with options for our four hungry kids . Our favorite wines were Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Great spot !

Very peaceful and relaxing. There was plenty of outdoor space and it's all covered by a tarp, so it's not too dusty and there is lots of shade. We were helped by Julie, who was extremely nice and told us about the property and its history. She was very welcoming and didn't make us feel rushed. Easy parking and very reasonably priced. I would definitely return and highly recommend for a lazy relaxed afternoon!

My sister likes it, but I didn't do the wine tasting on site because I was DD. I just sat there writing this review, enjoying the pleasant decor. Yes, there are places to sit, hooray! If you're wine tasting, you're doing so at nicely polished wooden counter. And if you have low alcohol tolerance like SOME people, you can drink lots of water and eat the crackers.

How much is the wine tasting here? Any dessert or ports? Trying to find some places around SLO. Thanks.

Their remodeled family home makes a unique tasting room that is visible from Hwy 101 south but it is quiet inside and so worth the short drive down Calle Joaquin.

Came here on a Monday morning of all days, during the Veteran's Day holiday weekend, when they had…read moreopened. The grounds here are very quaint, with a nice entryway of olive trees and a fountain. The concrete and modernish building and its outside patios are very cleanly kept. We sat outside at comfortable seating with some shade from trees. Our server was welcoming and friendly. She also was accommodating for one in our party who wasn't a Pinot fan. Their main wines consisted of Chardonnay and Pinot, with a few offsite vineyards used for Cabernet Sauvignon. I enjoyed their wines, though found them a bit pricy, even comparing to the more pricier Napa region that we more often frequent. That said, we came away with a few bottles. Being more local to Napa, we prob trended toward the more robust reds (charlatans!), so definitely liked the Akubra which was a bit off menu. Still, as a novice Pinot person and more of a reds guy, I still enjoyed their chard and Pinot enough to have them hold their own. We were recommended the place from a local, and didn't get a chance to hit many of the Edna Valley wineries on this particular trip, but felt satisfied in visiting this one before we set out for lunch. Worth a visit!

Our visit to Biddle Ranch could have easily earned a five star review. The venue is nice and the…read morewine was pretty good. Why 3 stars instead of 5 or even 4? Service! Our group have easily visited 250+ wineries and many of those we visited several times. We easily qualify as experts in the area of wine tasting. Based on our visit to Biddle Ranch as well as reviews I read the venue does not put an emphasis on hospitality. Our server (not educator) was nice but she seems to not care. Not care about selling wine, promoting or educating us about their wine and frankly or likes or dislikes. This behavior was repeated with other customers she was serving that day. If we are having a great time we reciprocate with numerous wine purchases and a generous tip. We only purchased the minimum to wave our tasting fees and could only justify the very minimum of gratuity. I truly hope management reads this post and invests time in better training their employees. We are in the area often and would love to have a spot to sip some wine before dinner. Based on this visit, I don't think so!
