First of all as you drive up to the tasting room the view is beautiful! The lady's at JDusi winery were very engaging and in spent time telling us about their vineyards. Second the wine was full bodied and full of flavor I can't wait to have it with Dinner! This one is a must and will return the next time we are in town. read more

J Dusi Wines - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Was driving past and decided to stop. Was one of the busier we had been too, property was pretty but man was it WINDY. They had umbrellas set up but we had to hold them when the gusts came and the servers told us to not let go of our glasses, which was a little scary. My husband ended up going and helping people put down the umbrellas, even though there was a handful of people working Wine was good, found one we liked and bought a bottle, service was ok, I think they were more distracted by the wind rather than telling us about the wines read more

Our family has long been very sentimental about the grapes grown by Janelle Dusi's family. My father-in-law used to taste at the former Mastanuono Winery (current location of Donati Vineyard) who made a fabulous zinfandel with grapes from Dante Dusi's vineyard. Janelle, his granddaughter?, has started her own winery using the grapes from the Dusi vineyards. The wines are terrific. The tasting fee is reasonable. The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back! Husband joined the wine club! We are new fans! read more

This place was the cutest! The service was great, snacks were amazing, wine was lovely, grounds were do darn beautiful! Stop by this place if you can! read more

We stopped by J Dusi on the recommendation of Dawn at Brunch in downtown Paso Robles, who highly recommended their Zinfandels, and so glad we did. The patio overlooking the vineyards is a really lovely setting, and they have old trucks and other interesting things scattered on the grounds. It was heating up to be in the 100s this day, so they weren't offering tastings, due to the heat, but were offering "bottle service," which was fine with us. We got a bottle of the Zinfandel, which we enjoyed out on the patio, and they even brought us an ice bucket, so it wouldn't overheat, and some ice cold water. Best of all, we were able to take half the bottle with us to enjoy later. read more

Went there on 03/05 in the late afternoon since it is right off Hwy 46 and easy to find. The tasting room and grounds were nice and staff was friendly. I found the wines to be okay, but not great especially for the price point and think they should lower the cost if they would like to incent the average wine buyer. read more

J Dusi Wines - Pinot Grigio - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

J Dusi should be one of the first winery you stop at during your winery tour. It's one of the first wineries right when you get on Freeway 46 and it has breathtaking view and an amazing outdoor seating area. It's a great place to bring your lunch and have a picnic here before heading further down the road. For $10.00, you'll get 5 tasting (1 white, 4 reds). My favorite here was the Syrah. The owners here are friends and super cool to chat with. BTW, if you never wine tour before, I would highly suggest you share your tastings; otherwise, you'll be super wasted by the time you get to your 3rd stop. Tip: Coco (the dog) hangs out around the farm. She's a sweet heart and loves to hang next to you. read more

Liked their least expensive Zin. Not sure I'd revisit but it's easy to get to, nice outdoor area that's peaceful and our server was pretty knowledgeable. Dog friendly is a plus! read more

Loved the place and loved the wines! My dog had such a great time running around the Facility will come back soon since we go to Cambria often. Thank you for the great service and met the owner and mother of owner. You guy rock!! read more

We have come to appreciate the wonderful wines created in Paso Robles. We have visited this wine region several times dating back to our first visit in 2007. Our appreciation for the Zinfandel grape led us to J Dusi where rock star wineries such as Turley source their grapes. They say it starts in the vineyard and for us it started in the tasting room. We first visited over a year ago and was welcomed as if we were part of the family. This is a family operation and everyone we met in the tasting room treated us as if we were a close relative. We tasted through the menu and our host added some surprises along the way. Since we love Zin she opened some older vintages so that we can compare the changes the wine develops as it rest in the bottle. Tasting prices are very cheap and they waive the tasting fee with a couple bottles of wine purchased. Join their wine club and all visits for up to 4 people are waived. They will even pour you some of the Paper Street wines they have started to produce that are very close to heaven in most sommelier's playbooks. We estimate we have visited over 200 wineries and tasted over 400 labels and J Dusi warranted a membership into their wine club. My opinion of J Dusi Winery? Woohoo! As good as it gets! read more

I have driven by so many times and had heard good things. Finally, I got some people together and suggested we start here. It was a good place to start as everything else we tasted after this was better. The inside is fun, the grounds are nice, some chairs under the oak tree, patches of grass here and there. Cornhole in the dirt lot. Nice fields of vineyards to look at. The tasting room has tall ceilings, the bar is nice, but not great if there are many more than 15 or so people trying to taste at the same time. A few local artisan products for purchase and some fun charcuterie boards too. There were two flights, their normal wines, $15 for a flight, and you got 5 wines. Their other label, $20 for 3 wines. The first flight was good, nothing that was memorable or blew me away. The fancier flight was spendy for what we got and while the wines were better, I didn't feel compelled to drink more, buy a bottle, join the club, or stick around to enjoy a glass. It was all just fine. Very nice staff and the winemaker was there, she was very congenial. We enjoyed our time there just not the wine was much. read more

Love the wines here. The seating areas have a great view of the vineyard and surrounding areas. So pleasant and relaxing! Our favorite place to stop on the way to Morro Bay!! read more

Visited the winery on a cold rainy day. Our group of four all did tastings and had a great time. The tasting room has a terrific view, and a variety of fun people manning the bar. During the course of our tasting our little group had fun playing huge-jenga on the patio. Before I left I bought a bottle of their zinfandel to take to a Thanksgiving party, it was such a hit! They have such a quality wine, they really have done an amazing job. Hope that they consider free tastings if you purchase wine in the future, as many other local wineries offered us on our adventures. read more

I enjoyed our tasting experience at J Dusi. Like other wineries in the area, there is both an indoor and outdoor area for tasting. It was 100 degrees so we stayed inside. I enjoyed the Paper Street reserve zinfandel the most. Nice add on is rosemary roasted nuts and chocolate to go with the wine. read more

J Dusi is a "must" to visit when in Paso Robles. The service provided by Grace, Hedley, Nikki and staff was top notch and outstanding. The wines are phenomenal and each are carefully explained about how they came into fruition- stories were so intriguing. The scenic view of the property presents a tranquil and relaxed feel. The patrons are respectful of each others space and the noise levels aren't overwhelming. Great job- Team J Dusi!!!! read more

This is a great little winery that has fabulous wine. These people treat you like family. Coco, their black lab is super sweet too. Been here twice now and became a wine club member, totally worth it. I never really cared for red wine until I tried theirs. My family and I will always drink J Dusi wine. Robins restaurant in Cambria and Distasios Italian in Morro carry J Dusi as well. Thanks J Dusi for making us feel like family and serving us the very best. read more

J Dusi Wines - Love me some J Dusi. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

I really liked the bartender there. He was unobtrusive and accommodating, exactly what you need in a server! Wine tasting was $10, but we were offered extras at the end, which was great since there were so many wonderful wines to try. We were also offered dark and white chocolate together with flavorful nuts in addition to our wine. There is an outside area where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine while looking out on the fields of grapes, pretty amazing if you ask me. read more

Very attentive staff with a wealth of information about the wines and the area. Really liked their Zinfandel and their port. I would highly recommend visiting them. The winery had a great outdoor atmosphere. read more

What a hidden gem. We loved every single wine in the tasting, so much so we joined the club. Nicking was so personally passionate in explaining the wines we were sold. You have to check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Me and my fiancé came here to have a nice Sunday tasting. We were also told the Patio had an amazing ambiance . This place is everything we were told and more. The music out side is perfect and really sets the vibe. Jonny which we found out is the wine makers mom was helping us with our tasting , she is the sweetest thing ever! So helpful and descriptive with the wine. Also the nuts they give out to people are so tasty. Love this place, love the wine , amazing service. Definitely come check this place out! read more

We just visited the new tasting room for J Dusi. They moved in at the old Edward Sellers location. Janell Dusi did a great job redecorating and incorporating their Dusi blue. The wines were excellent. Her family has been growing zinfandel for generations and it really shows. Here is an article on their opening: http://pasoroblesdailynews.com/j-dusi-wines-opening-tasting-room/6373/ read more

Not too impressed with this winery. The wine here was just okay. I appreciate that they took appropriate covid precautions when we visited in July. The highlight is their beautiful view! Service was good, but didn't make up for the wine. read more

October 2019, my coworkers and I went for training to Atascadero. One of the evenings we went to J. Dusi for a tour and wine tasting. It was glorious fun with dancing and a great cover band. I even bought a bottle to celebrate my up-coming 28th wedding anniversary! Thanks for the great memories and fun, J.Dusi Winery! read more

Don't come here. They are full of it and pretend to be nice and offer you things but in the end you just pay for the regular service any other winery will give you here... ‍ read more

Where do I even begin? I hate the phrase "a must go" but J Dusi truly is! The property the winery is on is beautiful rolling hills and the entire experience from rolling down the driveway to things to check out after your tasting is top notch. There are plenty of interesting vehicles around; a classic old pickup, a modern Vespa (in the winery's trademark light blue), and a weird tiny yellow old trucklet you can sit in. There's also plenty of beautiful outdoor seating and a swing hanging from a tree to entertain yourself. Inside space is much more limited, space for only about six or so couples to be at the tasting bar. A smaller outdoor tasting bar is also available. The day we were there the owner (?) had baked sourdough bread and made several flavored butters that were incredible! Free chocolates were also on hand. The staff was also extremely friendly and even offered to take our photo several times. You may have noticed I haven't mentioned one thing central to a winery. The wine. It was the weakest part of a great experience. But that isn't to say it was in any way bad. The wines were quite tasty, especially their dessert wine (not too syrupy or too sweet), but not quite up to the level of some really good wines. Any good winery is about the overall experience though and not just the wine. J Dusi delivers in spades! It's a must go! (*cringe*) read more

Had an appointment there...nice location...was a hot day. You sit at picnic tables with umbrellas...just very hot. The service was not very good at all. Lots of people working but it is more like a restaurant pouring wine than a tasting room for wine. No notes on the wines...no real discussion on wines...different server each time and 15-20 minutes between pours. Ended up leaving and not finishing tasting. Still paid the $20 each person tasting fee. Would not go back. read more

Excellent wine. Worth stopping by. Escandalosa was nice and complex. The syrah was my favorite and the port was also quite lovely on the palate. read more

Went to our first pick up party! It was fabulous ! Organized , fun, good food and great wines!!

Stopped at J Dusi during our wine-tasting Anniversary trip in Paso Robles. This was actually an impulse stop for us as it wasn't on our "list", but we drove by and decided to stop because it looked fun and friendly. Did not disappoint! We were there on a Wednesday so it wasn't crowded at all. The wines were great, not the best of the trip, but easily a 4/5. We took home a bottle of Zin which is what they are most known for. This winery is family-owned and operated. The staff was really what made it memorable for us. Incredibly friendly and laid-back. They offered us homemade nuts and biscotti cookies to snack on during our tastings, and explained the history of the family, showed us pictures and the vines, talked about their process, and were genuinely enthused to have us there. I think we chatted with them for over an hour! read more

At first I was super hesitant at stopping off at J Dusi, but I'm glad I did. This place surpassed by expectations. The wines were beyond excellent!! I even joined the wine club.

JDusi was the first winery we visited in Paso and it set the tone for all other visits to the area wineries. The staff are very knowledgeable and have shared many insights on restaurants and other wineries in the area. Janell is the winemaker/owner and is one of the most dedicated producers I have ever met. Her palette is highly developed and her wines are uniquely flavorful and full-bodied with the smoothest finish I have ever tasted. Obviously, my wife and I are dedicated consumers of JDusi wines. We recommend them to all our discerning wine enthusiasts. Try them and you'll end up loving them too! Jim & Jane read more

This was a fantastic winery. We stopped in last minute after making reservations over the phone. We had our kids with us so they put us in a nice quiet area where we could be free to taste while our children were able to roam the property and explore with ease. It was truly wonderful. The wine was excellent and we even bought a few bottles to take home. (The ZIN was our favorite but the rose was great too!) we bought cheese and charcuterie from the woman selling on the property and enjoyed our time. We ended up staying for a couple of hours. Must stop here read more

My husband and I had a fantastic wine tasting last Saturday! YUM!!! We had a lovely conversation and wonderful wines! Thank you J Dusi for a great visit! We will be back!!! read more

We stopped here on our way to San Luis Obispo this weekend to stretch our legs and let the kids out of the car for a bit. This is a great winery, the staff were very friendly, and the environment was family friendly. They have a swing, large jenga set, and corn hole set up outside. It is one of the closest wineries to 101 so it is an easy stop. As far as wines, they have great wines. Crisp whites, a dry rose, old vine zin, and Syrah. Tasting comes with some snacks too. Wines are reasonably priced. read more

I've always felt like the ladies doing the pouring here feel put off that they have to work here. The wines aren't spectacular and the prices are high for the quality. They have a nice location and tasting room. We went to their tasting room on Labor Day weekend because we have been sent an email that there would be a pizza truck and cupcake vendor there that weekend. My 10yo daughter talked about what cupcakes they might have, and got really excited to visit, as we have been here before and consider it family friendly. We get there and no pizza, no cupcakes, no email went out with a heads up or explanation before hand. The staff got defensive when asked what happened - I guess they were hoping people like me would still come and buy wine I guess? We had joined the club previously because we got a great deal on some Rose at a club member price. After this last visit, rude staff, meh wine- I decided to cancel the membership. I'm told they cannot cancel the membership because when i signed up I agreed to 2 shipments. I guess I'm stuck..I'll donate the wine elsewhere, or just toss it. I'll just chalk it up to poor service that is desperate to sell meh wine at a premium price. Their location will serve them well, I don't think it's repeat business or loyalty they are after. There are SO many better options in Paso. read more

I enjoyed the $10 tasting, but I have been to friendlier places. If you ask, they will give you an extra pour from something off the list. I would definitely buy their wine if I saw it in store or at a restaurant, but would not return to their tasting room. read more

If you come to Paso and miss J. Dusi you are missing the point of wine country. The experience that the people here deliver is second to... I was trying to think of something that it was second to but I just can't even. Oh, the pizza. The pizza isn't always here. It's here on seasonally appropriate days and it's exceptional. Amazing value on the wines. We really loved the 2014 Endless Crush and loved it. Can you tell that we loved it? And Janelle's mom's nuts. We got the recipe. We tried it ourselves. We can't replicate it. You have to come by and try them yourself. See you next time, guys! First stop from LA in Paso every time! read more

So if you're mil they will waive the ten dollar tasting fee. The wines here were nice and the people working were even nicer. It has a nice atmosphere and they also had multiple food vendors on property. The facility was nice w night ceilings and had a good feel to it. Stepping outside you had a view of the vineyard and they also have corn hole on site. I was also told that their wine club and pick up (when you grab your wine) party is pretty awesome and loaded with members and food trucks and live music. So if you're looking for a club like that then i would push you here. The wine itself was good and they were the only winery that was stopped at that had a port. Overall it was fun, in a good location, and had good wine at a good price and good options for military and waiving fees. read more
