They grow everything that they put in their bottles; it's not outsourced like other wineries =) Great reds here even the 2009 Mourvèdre is very smooth & yummy =) Great place to picnic; very scenic & beautiful so bring your picnic baskets here =) Staff was very friendly, helpful & informative =) read more

While exploring the vineyards on the west side of Paso Robles, my mother and I found ourselves at Hearthstone. There we were greeted by our server, Bob, he was SUPER! He was friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and thoroughly seemed to enjoy his job. We decided to split the $10 for 6 wine tasting (comped if you buy a wine like us). Bob was nice enough to give us two more not on the list because he noticed how much we liked the listed Pearl. 2009 Pearl* (58% Roussanne, 42% Viognier) 2010 Pearl* (Roussanne, Viognier) 2007 Slipstone (65% Grenache, 35% Syrah) 2008 Pinot Noir 2007 (Profundo (53% Sangiovese, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 9% Syrah 2007 Fireside Claret (65% Cabernet Franc, 30% Sauvignon, 5% Merlot) 2008 Syrah Reserve 2010 Perl Delight** (75% Viognier, 25% Roussanne) **Purchased *Also recommended We fell in love with their Pearls, and walked away with a one. Our favorite was the Pear Delight, but the 2010 and 2009 Pearls followed close behind respectively. They were sweet, fruity, and buttery. (Well that is what I got, but again I'm no expert) We left here with a wonderful experience and wine in hand! If decide to try them out I'm almost positive you will have the same experience. read more

Several delicious wines including a dessert wine but we really enjoyed the Fireside Claret. Small tasting room and really nice outside patio with a wind break wall looking out over a beautiful pasture with cows grazing and the vineyards all around. The girl helping us was although young but she was very knowledgeable and helpful and even had suggestions for places for us to eat. read more

I fell in love with Hearthstone during a recent weekend getaway. We had decided to enjoy a picnic while wine tasting and a quick search on Yelp the night before led us to Hearthstone Winery. We were lucky to arrive during a lull in visitors and were able to do a little tasting all by ourselves in the tasting room. All of the wines were wonderful, but the 2009 Pearl was quickly voted as a favorite in our group, and we purchased a bottle to enjoy with our picnic. The outdoor seating area is absolutely spectacular, they have a glass wall that serves as a wind break without obstructing the beautiful views...so clever! The outdoor furniture is ideal for a picnic with tables that can accommodate large groups. Our wine and glasses were brought out to us on a beautifully arranged serving tray, it was such a nice touch. The 2009 Pearl was light and refreshing, a perfect accompaniment to our assortment of cheeses, charcuterie, and crudite. Everyone agreed that our informal lunch at Hearthstone was one of the highlights of an already wonderful weekend. The owner and staff in the tasting room were so friendly and welcoming, cheerfully talking about their wines it was clear to us that they love what they do. We even had the chance to meet the staff's dog Brewer, he was such a cutie and it was nice to know that they are pet friendly on the patio. The next time we are wine tasting in Paso Robles Hearthstone will definitely be on my "must stop and buy" list. read more

One of my favorite tastings during this trip to Paso Robles. The tasting room is located on a hillside and has a beautiful view. I love the large wooden doors on the tasting room, it looks and feels like a tasting room. The tasting room itself is not real large, but we had the place to ourselves, which made for a nice tasting. The tasting is $10 for 6 tastings, waved with the purchase of a bottle. We tasted the following: 2010 Pearl - a Rousanne Viognier blend, only one I didn't care for 2010 Pinot Noir - my favorite, we ended up buying a bottle 2009 Grenache - good 2009 Mourvèdre - ok, but I'm not a fan of 100% Mourvèdre 2009 Syrah - good, but not my favorite Syrah from the area 2009 Cabernet Sauvingon Reserve - surprisingly good The tasting room staff is great. We had a nice conversation about pairing wine and cheese, and they ended up recommending a cheese shop in Paso Robles named Vivant. Hearthstone is on my revisit list. read more

Wasn't sure what to think about this winery. But ask for Miranda. she knows the wine and is absolutely charming. she alone makes the experience worth it. will be back! read more

Bring a picnic for lunch to Hearthstone, since there are many great picnic tables outside in the shade. Renee, our tasting room attendant, was so nice and welcoming to our large party - she even tried to remember all of our names! She also told us that if we came back, we could go on a vineyard tour to learn about grafting vines. The tasting room itself is small and very relaxed, but received rave reviews all around from our group. Must try wines: Pearl, and the Pinot Noir from their wine club... if you can! read more

This is a secret Hideout Winery but worth 5 stars. first i got to say the Sign is very nice, classy and impressive. the wine is Superb with the Pearl...... I got a great time there... of course once you are buzz everyone is friendly lol and if you buy wine there is no tasting fee.... Sound very fair! read more

This is my fav winery, the wine is amazing and reasonably priced. It is not a huge monstrosity like some of the larger wineries, you never have to wait for a spot to taste. The picnic area is AMAZING and the views are fantastic, hands down the best picnic spot of all the winerys! The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming and it is very family friendly!! read more

This was the most memorable of our 6 stops in the paso area last weekend. For the last 3 years wife and I have been looking for the right wine club to join. After visits to wineries in napa and paso, this was, without question "the one". The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The thing that solidified our decision was that their wines were great across the spectrum. We started with the "Pearl" and finished with the "Fireside Claret", not many places have great whites and reds across the board. It was so hard to pick which bottles we wanted to take home so the logical choice was to join their wine club! - problem solved. read more

First time here, definitely will be back. Wine and service is wonderful. Miranda was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The Rousannne was my fav! Also, saw a family of turkeys here while sipping wine, so cute!!! read more

First stop of the day and so pleasantly surprised. The wine was fantastic. Our server was excellent and very knowledgeable. Super good deal mom a case of mouvadre. Bought quite a few other wines too. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Hearthstone Vineyard and Winery - Hearthstone tasting room. Very homey. Highly recommend. - Wineries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

This is a small quiet tasting room with wonderful views and great wine! A small group of us were out for the Wine 4 Paws event over the weekend and the couple working the tasting room was just wonderful. We left with 2 bottles of wine, one Sangiovese and the 2008 Slipstone. They were doing special pricing for the event which was really cool. I can't wait to go back once it warms up and sit outside. read more

This is my first time I've ever been here and the service here has been amazing! Miranda did an amazing job and her knowledge on wine is incredible. I will definitely be returning! read more

The wines were very good. The tasting fee of $10 is waived with 1 bottle purchase. We went with the intention of tasting Italian wines, but they did not have any open. We did like the wines we tasted. A wine member bought a bottle and allowed us to taste it, and we ended up buying two bottles of that varietal. read more

A beautiful tasting room with fantastic service, but high-alcohol smoke and jam bombs predominate their lineup. Their wines seem to be impossible to pair with food. Typical Parkerized Paso Robles plonk. read more

I wanted to keep this winery a secret, but a great thing has to be shared... Hearthstone is a benchmark. While benchmark has several definitions, hearthstone sets the tone to wine making and is unique in the region. Paso Robles is the only area in the US that is similar to Tuscany as far as soil, climate, and topography. Hearthstone sets the tone in quality of wines that cannot be matched in any of the wineries in the areas. It seems as though other wineries have issues with controlling acidity, or they produce mid level wines that are overpriced. One of the reasons is that they buy the grape outside of the estate sometimes from a different region and bottle whatever comes out for profit. In comparison, hearthstone hand crafted estate grown wines are an artistic expression of winemaking in its best. The passion for excellence and love of wine can be tasted. The wine is complex, rich, and multi layered. I drink the wine slowly, almost chow it, since it provides a multiple sensation of flavors and I want to enjoy each of them. They make anywhere from 100 - 200 cases each year for each of the brands, since the vision is quality and not mass production. Most of the wines they produce are in my top favorite list. My wine collection includes 90% hearthstone. We come to the area twice a year and stop only there. In the past we used to go to other wineries - only to be disappointed. Their wine truly reminds me what life is all about. Joslin and Renee are incredible, the hospitality is great and the surrounding is magnificent. If you know wine or not, you will not be disappointed.. Thank you Hearthstone..! read more

Truly beautiful and relaxing very quaint. The staff member Miranda was very knowledgeable and helpful truly one of my new favorite spots we will definitely be coming back weekly read more

Simple, rustic, and beautiful, Hearthstone was our first encounter of wineries in Paso Robles. Hearthstone made a great first and lasting impression with the staff's friendly service and attentiveness. I began my tasting with the Pearl, part Roussane and Viognier. A light, crisp, and floral white perfect for warm summery days. I also tried the Grenache which was rich and jammy. Profundo, as it is called, is strong in all that is great about Cab Sauv. Cab Franc, Syrah, and Sangiovese. It is so good that we purchased two bottles of this memorable red wine. While interestingly named Primate (not sure why), the Zinfandel and Petit Syrah blend makes for a perfect wine with grilled meats. Serene and perfectly picturesque for a calendar, Hearthstone Estate was a great Paso Robles discovery. We will be sure to return back. read more

Cute, local, small vineyard. The wine is decent. And there's an outdoor space for tasting. Incredibly windy the day we went and we were the only ones there on a Thursday. read more

I am totally a fan! Joined the wine club and upped my shipment after the first delivery. Just beautifully done Reds. I love the Paso area and am a wine club member ( all the way from Phoenix AZ) of three other wineries. hands down...Hearthstone is my favorite, everything is good. I second the other reviewers thoughts on Bob in the tasting room, showed up late in the day and he could not have been more accommodating. Stay small Hearthstone, you are a well kept secret. read more

Really nice winery! We enjoyed & purchased the 2008 Pinot Noir & the 2007 Profundo. This was our first trip to Paso Robles, we usually go to the Santa Ynez area. Not totally impressed with all the wineries out this way, but this will be a stop for us next time we come up here. read more

Really like this small gem of a place with one particular blend they have. We showed up 10 minutes before closing, and they were very obliging and friendly. Wish we had more time for a picnic, etc on the grounds. Really cool spot. read more

This is one of my favorite wineries, and tasting rooms. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I love all the wines, especially the Pearl. read more

Hearthstone has to be one of our favorite wineries on the Central Coast. My husband and I discovered it when we were first engaged, and we have visited Hearthstone more than any other winery. It was our first wine club, which we are still enjoying today. The staff and owners are personable and knowledgable which makes for a superb wine tasting experience. Their site is beautiful and their wine is delicious. Be sure to visit and you will not be disappointed. read more

Just had a friend and fam gathering at Hearthstone. The staff and wines were wonderful!!! If you are in the Paso area-it's a must.

We love this place. The wines are excellent and the setting is serene. We enjoyed playing bocce ball looking out on the rolling hills.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, we had a great time. My favorite wine was the Slipstone, looking forward to visiting again. read more

What a nice find this was. We enjoyed and joined a few years ago and have been back for tasting and events many times. We have never been disappointed. The staff, owner and winemaker are all warm, friendly and knowledgeable. On those warm summer days, the deck and the view are spectacular, and the temperature is often cooler due to the cooling ocean breeze funneling through the Templeton Gap. If you are looking for a more intimate winery experience along with some mighty fine wines, look no further! read more

Long story short: a must if you are in paso Robles or anywhere nearby. Long story: I go on an annual wine tasting trip with my closest friends and family (ranges from 40-50 of us per year) where we visit 3-5 wineries. As much as I enjoy finding different wineries to go to, Hearthstone is always a staple and normally the first place we go. Why? The staff is courteous and knowledgable about their wine (not always the case with other wineries). I enjoy the wine and the atmosphere so much that I go there to do a tasting with my SO the day before We go there with the big group. They are passionate about their wine and it shows; Pearl is my favorite. If you are in paso Robles and looking for a relaxed atmosphere, delicious wine at a fabulous price point, then look no further than Hearthstone. read more

I came her with my girlfriend and we drove all the way from LA to have a nice little weekend get-away with Hearst Castle and a wine tour with tasting at Hearthstone. We were the only ones there and got extra attention but it was somehow a disappointment. The tour was, in short, standing in front of a couple of vines talking about how badly the vineyard had been taken care of. We paid 35 bucks for the wine tasting and "the tour". 20 bucks would ve been more right. On the other hand a complimentary wine bottle was included - a bottle that we didn t get!!!! The wines and the sight were however good. I guess we re too spoiled with Santa Ynez and the hospitality there. read more

The location is terrific and Hearthstone is surrounded by several first class wineries. Our experience was okay at best. While several of the wines were good, the single staff person was bored and/or indifferent. We bought a bottle but with some reluctance based on mediocre service. read more

This was our second visit to Hearthstone and we were very glad we stopped by again. Renee was very helpful and welcoming. The wines are all great! My favorite this time around was their Claret. The tasting fee is waived with the purchase of a bottle. read more

Nice and hidden, was afraid place was going to be too quiet or boring. Staff was engaged and connect as soon as we got there. Servings were good, enjoyed the flights and enjoyed the conversation with the staff. Would definitely stop by again. Good wine and good choice company. read more

The wine was ok, but the service was kind of lazy. The employees were on their phones half the time and not interested in talking about the wine. read more

Consistently good wines. Nice staff and grounds. Check in on Yelp for a discount!

This is always our first and last stop whenever touring in Paso. The wines are generally rich, earthy, and complex. The staff makes amazing recommendations for their own wines and also vineyards in the area. We signed up for the wine club at our last visit and returned for a fun cheese pairing event, at which it seemed we were one of the Hearthstone family. Do not miss this amazing vineyard! read more

Very impressive--don't miss it! Comfortable tasting room and personable, knowledgeable staff. The wines they're showing are older and more refined than the other wineries we visited. Excellent examples of pinot noir, zinfandel, rhone blend, syrah, and bordeaux blend. Reasonable prices. What do you want? Highly recommended. read more

I recently visited the beautiful tasting room of Hearthstone Winery and enjoyed some of the best wines in Paso. The owner was really interesting and very passionate about his wines. I loved the Pearl blend of Roussanne and Viognier and the Profundo. Lovely, velvety wines. I even joined their wine club. Can't wait to make another trip there. read more
