It's 16,000 square feet of underground tunnels. As one of the few spots offering complimentary tastings to our complete surprise! This winery is a hidden gem. We loved the selection so much we had to pick up a few bottles for home! Overall Great wines, beautiful views & amazing service! Definitely going back!

We picked Eberle on a recommendation from friends who are wine club members--and it ended up being…read morethe stop we're still talking about. By the end, pretty much everyone in our group had found a wine they wanted to take home--including the ones who swore they weren't buying anything. Dennis, our Tasting Room Host, made the experience. He was warm, very knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging with everyone--from the serious wine lovers to our six-year-old--while keeping things professional and elevated. The whole visit struck that rare balance: polished without feeling formal, refined without ever feeling rushed or "in-and-out." Dennis has been with Eberle since 2017, and you can feel how much he cares about the place. He spoke about the winery with such genuine pride, and as you look around the tasting room at the rows of award ribbons from years of vintages, it hits you--this is a place with real history behind it. That sense of legacy and care is woven into the whole experience. The historic wine caves are a must, the complimentary tasting felt generous and unhurried, and the grounds have that unmistakable Paso magic--rolling hills, big oaks, golden light, and room to breathe. We even crossed paths with Gary Eberle (founder, 1979) and his sweet black poodle, Vieto--one of those authentic, only-in-wine-country moments that sums up the welcoming spirit here. If you go, ask for Dennis--he turned our first visit into one we'll plan future trips around. Good to know before you visit: * Make a reservation--it gets busy * Don't skip the cave tour (you can even taste down there) * Large lawn & games--great for kids and mixed groups * Very dog-friendly * Private, romantic tastings available in the caves * Complimentary tastings + military discount available * Plan to stay a while...and bring your camera :)

A Memorable Experience Rooted in Family, History, and Great Wine…read more We discovered Steinbeck Winery through their website, where the rich family history immediately drew us in -- especially the story of the 1956 USAF plane crash on the property during a rainstorm. The owner's quick thinking and medic experience helped save three of the airmen, though sadly, one lost his life. That deep connection to history and place was felt throughout our visit. We took the Jeep tour with Cindy, which was the highlight of our time there. She gave us an incredible behind-the-scenes look at the winemaking process -- from picking the grapes to pressing and barreling. As we rode through the vineyards, Cindy shared stories of growing up on her family's farm and the history of Paso Robles. We even got to taste grapes straight off the vine to check for ripeness -- such a cool touch! After the tour, we enjoyed a wine tasting, and every wine we tried was excellent and easy to enjoy. The Viognier really stood out -- crisp, refreshing, and perfect for a hot day. The Crash red blend, created in honor of the airmen and the crash, was a beautiful tribute -- complex yet smooth, with a soft finish and a subtle dryness that made it memorable. And don't forget to say hi to Cri Cri, the winery dog! She's the sweetest greeter and fully deserves all the belly rubs. Steinbeck is more than just a winery -- it's a living family legacy with fantastic wines and heartfelt storytelling. Can't recommend it enough!

She treated us kindly and didn't rush us at all. I have a newborn and a toddler, and both were welcome inside and at the bar (we stood). She let us try most everything and we ended up with almost a case of bottles. As someone who works in the industry, I so appreciate the excellent customer service. Tobin had all the funky 90s charm one wants. Their wine was not bad! I especially liked the rock n roll Syrah. The classic Zin (what they're known for) is quite jammy so keep that in mind. It's such a good reminder that customer service is paramount! Thank you Tobin!

The wines were terrific. In a region that is quickly out-pricing a lot of people, it's nice to see affordable but fantastic wines still being poured. I highly recommend Glunz for a casual and comfortable wine tasting.

Next time, I'd come back and picnic under the trees and buy a few bottles of their standard wines for $25. I didn't really care for the funkier wines served in the wine tasting room.

As for the wines, we did a tasting and I honestly can't remember because Bianchi was our 3rd winery. I drank so much already and was buzz.

At Sculpterra…read more... They are in the business of turning water into wine....... One grape at a time!!! Yeah, I didn't believe it either, but then I saw a sign in their vineyard that proved me wrong. It read: "Water into Wine" And now, I'm a believer! So what brought us to this magical place you ask?? Well, besides the obvious (the wine).... It was the.... ok you caught me!! We came for the wine! Yeah, we were staying at the Ava Hotel in Paso for my wife's birthday weekend (definitely check this place out if you are looking for a beautiful spot to call home away from home) And being that we were in wine country.... We wanted a nice outdoor vineyard where our kids could be outside, run around, and get all of their energy out all while Mommy & Daddy had our own little R&R time sippin' on the good stuff. And let me tell you, it was Good Stuff! When we first arrived at Sculpterra, we already knew the place was going to be a hit as the parking lot was hoppin. And apparently we weren't the only ones that got the memo that this place was THE PLACE to be as it was just a little bit off the beaten trail from where we started out... Approximately 6 miles from "Downtown Paso" (through the city limits, down the 'ol country back roads and suddenly we were in wine country!) Prior to heading to the vineyard, we did a quick pit stop at McDonalds for the kids so they had something they liked. As for me and my wife, we opted to get some of the local fare items offered on site, cause what goes better with wine than a yummy charcuterie board? I'll answer that momentarily! But wait, theres more!!!! Upon finding a nice little table outdoors to sit and relax with our wine chilled in a bucket of ice, there was suddenly music to our ears and Love to my eyes! Yes, there was lovely Live Music being played by a band and out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a food truck serving Mexican Food from a local Mexican restaurant. Remember earlier when I said what goes better with wine than a charcuterie board? Well, if you guessed a little Mexican Food, then you are oh so right, but only in moderation! So in order not to ruin the good vibes of the beautiful vino from Sculpterra, I opted for just one taco and a cup of their poblano soup and man was it fire. The soup was piping hot and it had a kick of spice that made me spice from ear to ear. As far as the wine, the vineyards vibe and the entire aesthetic of the grounds, Sculpterra Winery & Sculpture Gardens (the vineyard was adorned with many abstract and contemporary pieces that are all photo worthy), this place checks all the boxes. The place is kid friendly as there is plenty of space, both indoors and out, with areas for the kids to throw a ball, run around, or even learn to play a g as a game of chess. A decent variety of Reds, Whites, & Blends are all up for grabs, so if you find yourself in Paso Robles with the fam or its just you and your hunny, definitely come check this place out and watch the miracle of them turning water into wine!

Hands down, the gold standard in Paso Robles…read more If you're wondering where Paso Robles truly shines, it's Cass Winery. Full stop. Cass is Rhône varietals done right... from celebratory bubbles and beautiful blush wines to crisp full whites and ruby-red blends that remind you why you started drinking wine in the first place. The winemaking team is creative, disciplined, and consistently delivers winners across the board. This is not a "one good bottle" winery - it's an across-the-board yes. And then there's lunch. Hello. Dining among the grapevines with their on-site garden, wood-fired pizza oven, and chefs who clearly understand that wine deserves a proper supporting cast is an experience all its own. It's relaxed, delicious, and dangerously easy to lose track of time. Dog people, rejoice: well-behaved pups are welcome, and honestly, it sometimes feels like Cass Winery & AKC Kennel Club (said with affection). Très français, really. Events are another reason Cass stands apart. There's an abundance of them -- many complimentary for wine club members -- and they sell out fast for good reason. These aren't filler events; they're thoughtfully curated experiences, often with meals that turn into memories and strangers who become friends by dessert. Cass Winery doesn't just pour wine -- it creates afternoons, evenings, and traditions you'll want to repeat. If you're building a list of must-visit wineries in Paso Robles, this one belongs at the top. Highly recommend. Always.
