Always great. Everyone is always nice and helpful. It is a quaint relaxing place. We haven't had the food but man are we coming back to try it as it looked delicious as it was coming out of the kitchen. Especially the fish and chips which is only served Fridays and the crab roll. Both looked liked they were good. Will update when we have them. We also want to come when they have oysters on Friday. read more

Came for the cider, stayed for the Crab Sandwich. My wife wanted to visit this spot for old times sake. She fell in love with their ciders way back in 2011. When we saw their sign from the highway, we had to pop in. It's a chill little spot with indoor and outdoor seating. The people that work there was nice and friendly. We chose the cider tasting flight and discovered they now serve food. We decided to have the crab sandwich with caviar. The cider of choice was the 2023 NC3. But let's talk about that Crab Sandwich! "Delicious" great flavor with that buttery seared bread and the pop of caviar. I could have eaten two of them. They offer wine tasting as well, but I can't tell you much about it since we only had the ciders. If you find yourself on the 46, pop in, have that Crab sandwich. read more

Very friendly staff and the wine was excellent. Food was delicious I highly recommend the crab roll.

A girls weekend in Paso started with a patio tasting at Lone Madrone. Our server Mary walked us through some history and info on their dry farming and organic practices behind their wines. We tasted five wines and their English Bristols cider. My favs were the 2022 Estate Zinfandel and the 2022 Old Hat. I loved the fact that the winemaker's son designed the gorgeous label for the Zin, featuring a wreath of the cover crop they use in their organic vineyards. I got a bottle and once it's empty, I have plans to put some twinkly lights in it. It was disappointing that although the winery confirmed with our organizer that they had lunch available at the time of our Friday visit (we did have a reserved tasting reservation), it turned out that they were not serving lunch that day! But it ended up working out - we drove down the road and had an outstanding lunch with great cocktails at Barton's Kitchen. read more

Best burger by far! Service was excellent, and ambiance was great!!! The entire winery staff made us feel So comfortable and their wines were fantastic! Whenever in Paso make sure you visit the winery and best make sure you have their cheeseburger! You will not regret it! Thank you Lone Madrone for making our first time visit so memorable! We will definitely be back! read more

Came this past weekend with friends for the soft opening of Kitchen 46. First time visiting this winery for me, my friends had been before and love their wine. Had a great tasting! Hannah was very knowledgeable about the wines they have. I drink mostly reds, but the chenin blanc and grenache were really tasty! Every taste was good! I shared a chicken sandwhich and salad with my friend, so so tasty! The sandwhich was perfect, I love slaw in my sandwhich. The aioli a dip was so good. The salad, very refreshing. My friend enjoyed their oysters and salmon dishes also. Nice ambiance outside, would recommend. Dog friendly patio too!!!! My favorite part probably read more

Father's Day brunch at Lone Madrone was an amazing experience! The wine was magnificent, including tasting of Points West White, Grenache, Sheep Camp Zin and Bailey Ranch Zin. The Lamb burgers are simply the Best, with an amazing side salad and those amazing crispy cut fries with truffle ketchup and garlic aioli dipping sauces! So good your brains will fall out! Always coming back to Lone Madrone for the amazing wines, the delicious food creations from Chef Jeff and Kitchen46, and the sweet fun people that serve and otherwise take care of you there. Great spot on Hwy46 West near the roundabout. Highly Recommend and will definitely be back soon! read more

One of my favorite wineries in Paso. Great family owned and operated business and now they have a new Chef at Kitchen 46! So freakin good! The tasting room is beautiful, the wine is great and now with great food? Hard to beat. I left with the Chenin Blanc and cinsault. read more

This spot was recommended to us by many on a previous trip to Paso, so on our most recent venture down this way, we made it stop number one! We stopped in on a Friday morning, didn't have a reservation, but they were able to take us for a tasting immediately. There was only one other group tasting while we were there, so getting a seat and help was no problem at all. They had a nice large outdoor patio and some high tops and bar seating inside the tasting room. It was a rainy day when we were here, so we enjoyed our tasting inside. We were helped by Donna, who had a plethora of knowledge about Lone Madrone and all the vineyards they work with. She lead a great tasting, and would sit with us to chat about each wine. Sadly we had another reservation scheduled so we couldn't stay too long, but she gave us a great sped up version, while still including quite a bit of information about each wine we were trying. The flight came with 5 wines and we got an off menu pour of a bottle they had opened. These weren't personally my favorite wines I had during the trip, but it was still a really great experience and I'd recommend this place to someone wanting to try a nice variety of wines. I did end up going home with a bottle of the Tannat - not a wine I've seen many times as a stand alone varietal! read more

Right off the main 46 highway this is a very laid back winery that serves decent food. Very big burgers and large plate of shoestring fries. They also carry some cool cider for tasting and my wife really likes the wines although they were a tad pricey for Paso. read more

The Mrs. and I stopped by Lone Madrone this afternoon. We were originally going to have lunch at Kitchen 46 but it is only open on Saturday and Sunday. So we decided to do some wine tasting. I had been to Lone Madrone several years ago when it was Four Vines. Apparently, that was a long time ago. It was raining when we arrived and the were only two other people wine tasting. We parked ourselves at a high top table and began our adventure. I love wine tasting in the rain. Especially during the week. The wines were all really good and the lady that poured for us was so nice. The tasting fee is $25 and is waived with the purchase of two bottles. read more

We really enjoyed our tasting experience with Amber. It was a quiet Tuesday and friends had recommended we visit. We only wanted to taste red so we skipped a formal tasting. We tried a few reds and wow !!! We found Nebbiolo our favorite wine. The Nebbiolo here is called "Bollo". Also the Tannat is very special. They have food on weekends, which we prefer as part of any tasting visit. Amber was very hospitable and recommended a couple nearby wineries to check out. Great experience!! read more

Great service - very attentive- the outside seating is open and inviting. Some shady areas too

This is one of our "must stops" when in the area. The wine is very good and if you are a cider drinker, this is the place. The Oveja is one of my favs in the region for a white. Mary and Court are so helpful! read more

We did the wine tasting plus food pairing and it was amazing! So much thought and flavor was put into the food itself, then to how it was paired with the food. When it came to purchasing the wine, it was incredibly difficult to choose which wines to buy. There is also a very cute cat named Luna and the staff was really friendly & knowledgeable. read more

We recently experienced the soft opening of the new Kitchen 46. It is located at the Lone Madrone tasting room.The experience there was top-notch. We had the burger, which was the best burger I've ever had! And I mean it. Lone Madrone winery is also the home of Bristols Cider. Their ciders arve the finest in San Luis Obispo County. The Morro Toro orchard cider was excellent. In previous visits we have experienced Lone Madrone wines. Their Grenache is delightful. The crew there are knowledgeable, fun, and super helpful. We will be back many times read more

The real deal when it comes to wine. I've been a member for awhile and didn't know until recently that the owner and winemaker came from a culinary background in the UK and started Lone Madrone after training under the wine maker at Le Cuvier (who is amazing as a non-traditional style). He was then brought over to Tablas Creek (where he continues to do traditional Rhone blends). So Lone Madrone is known for having an excellent base of wines that are not constrained by tradition and tend to take on more creative expression that never disappoints. After having a small salon in the Adelaida district, they now own a new tasting room in the former farmstand market at the intersection of Hwy 46 and Vineyard drive; just adjacent to Zin Alley. Every time we come, we receive very attentive service with a detailed explanation of the wines. We're not rushed and can enjoy and savor each sip. They now have a kitchen at the new location and offer up their famous lamb tacos--- I could come just for the tacos :-) If you are serious about wine, this is a place not to be missed. read more

Excellent service run by an attentive and charming staff. The wines are excellent. We loved it.

Oh Lone Madrone!!! I have always loved your wines and your cute tasting room on Adelaida so I was bummed to see you had moved. Boy was I wrong! Ohhhhh Mmmmm Geeeee!! I was in for a surprise! The new tasting room has all the charm of the previous room but bigger! Wines are still on point! Oveja Blanca is my fav!! What took this way over the top is the addition to the restaurant. Yes, we have always loved Burger Sunday, but Chef Jeffery Scott now has free rein to serve his sophisticated and elevated food Saturday and Sunday. Heirloom, Watermelon Salad with what had to be homemade feta (it was so light and fresh) drizzled with a vinaigrette. Just perfect with the Rose! Peruvian Ceviche with the most amazing coconut foam! The lady next to us was from Peru and she said not only is this version hard to execute but it was spot on! If that wasn't enough, I had the Cornmeal Crusted Mary's Chicken Thighs. Underneath, was a hot sauce, on top a slaw and mango salad!! It was a flavor explosion of sweet, savory, hot and crunchy!!! Wowwie!!! I also asked if there was any way I could order a side of fries as they had a Steak Frites on the menu and the Chef happily obliged by sending out a massive platter with a spicy aioli and truffle ketchup! I didn't know I liked truffle in my ketchup, but oh do I!!! Everything was so fantastic, that I had to ask if I could meet the Chef!!! I honestly never do that. He came out and was friendly and nice! I even got a picture! Thanks to all who made this a spectacular experience!! Mary our server! Friendly and very knowledgeable on the wines. Kristina our server! You are funny, efficient and kept us hydrated. I don't think our water cup was ever empty!! AND Chef Jeffery!! You food was sublime!! My hubby has ceviche every chance he gets and said your ceviche was top 3 he's ever had!! Thank you Lone Madrone and Kitchen 46!!!! Bravo! read more

This winery has ample parking and covered and uncovered seating. They also have a menu featuring appetizers, entrees and desserts. The tasting was very informative and the wines were so good, I joined their wine club. We ordered the charcuterie board and olives while enjoying our tasting. Both were quite tasty but I will never forget those olives!! They were warm and delicious. I can't wait to go back and eat more of those olives. read more

My wife and dogs came here to do the food and wine pairing which was an incredible experience! Their chef nailed the pairings making for a lovely afternoon in their tasting room. Every wine I had was lovely. We'll be back here for their lunch menu which looked terrific. I highly recommend this experience and particularly bringing a group for the wine and food pairing; it'll be memorable for sure. Ask for Nicole, she was amazing!!! read more

I hadn't tasted at this winery in awhile. So, I tried them again and they knocked my socks with their Riesling. Honestly, the best I have ever had and I have had a lot. Also, good wines to try Nebbiolo, Syrah, Sheep Camp Zinfandel and my personal favorite Old Hat. Their wines have improved greatly. Can't wait to go back again. Did I mention the superb food offered by an outstanding chef. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. They have an indoor area for tasting or sit in the sun or shade on their lovely patio. read more

Great wine and amazing food. Don't miss this stop. Staff and owners are wonderful. They have plenty of shade and pet friends.

I rode my motorcycle from Cincinnati, Ohio to the west coast of California looking for exhilaration. By pure chance or maybe fate, I crossed the mountainous range from PCH and was drawn into this oasis on the roadside that seemingly just appeared. I can't express how fortunate I am to have made that stop at Lone Madrone. The atmosphere and setting was serene, the people were the finest of any, and the food provided a top off of experience. I recommend this place rather you intend to eat, taste wine, or spectate. However, the real treat is the people who work here. I don't know how they got this amazing set of individuals. They were so hospitable and interested in my story, as I was interested in their incredible stories as well. To Amber, I anxiously await that getaway for you and would love to hear all about it. To Hana, not to be confused with Hannah, I love your name. I love your story. I love you. What an inspiration you are and the journey you've had. We both have our own horsepower lol. Thank you for sharing a piece of you with me. It was a light of beautiful hope and I will forever cherish it. read more

An amazing winery that we go to often. Staff are great and so courteous. Couldn't believe they were open Christmas Eve. Dropped by for a bottle and as usual was amazing, But a grinch customer walked in for her lunch and tasting. Hello. Read the website and you would know they didn't do midweek lunches. Staff offered to call around to find a place for them to have lunch but the woman was beyond rude. So sad to see staff treated so badly. Merry Christmas read more

Come for the wine, stay for the food! Being the mega foodie that I am, I was drawn to this winery because of the food/chef reputation. We got the lamb burger which was super flavorful and juicy. The crispy shoe string fries were addictive. The service was lovely and the place is super dog friendly! There are heaters for the chillier days. The wine is delicious with lots of variety. I'm a wine club member and they were kind enough to cover an additional tasting outside of my allotted 4! read more

Lone Madrone was a must on our list of wineries to try after we found out that the winemaker here is behind the wines we love at Tablas Creek COME ON BURGER SUNDAY, burger and shoestring fries were a yummy way to start our wine tasting day! We were fans of a couple wines and went home with the 2016 Sheep Camp zinfandel and the 2016 Syrah which is a very big deal because we have NEVER previously like any syrahs! NOTE: we were seated on the west side, which I think had nice views read more

This was our last stop before heading home and I was a bit apprehensive as I have a small toddler. Visiting coast with family so I figured I would have plenty of help with toddler if needed. I loved the set up of this winery! We were seated at a large picnic table outside and the winery was very relaxed and casual which made the experience with a toddler very enjoyable! We sampled wines and ordered a late lunch. The Riesling and Chenin Blanc wine was absolutely divine and we ordered both bottles to take home. We ordered the pommes frites and the beef burger with a side salad. The pommes frites were absolutely divine! Ultra crispy. The truffle ketchup was the star of the sauces and if they had a bottle of the ketchup we would have definitely took it home! The beef burger was absolutely amazing! Large beef patty cooked to absolute perfection! The sauce on the burger complimented the sautéed onions and burger perfectly! There was a small mix up of one order of a burger not arriving yet the issue was promptly taken care of and the staff were very kind and patient. Also, have to mention that the staff of this winery were incredibly attentive and very patient and kind! I love that the winery was pet friendly as well! If you are looking for a winery with great food, highly recommended this place. Can't wait for our next visit back! read more

We stumbled across this winery after seeing the sign from the road in Paso, and decided to try something new. Boy, we were not disappointed!! While view was mostly of the highway, the amazing staff, delicious food and outstanding wines made up for it completely. From the time we walked in, we were greeted enthusiastically by the staff, who made us feel like VIPs even though we had never been there before. Our server Dana was an absolute gem! Both knowledgeable and friendly, she shared with us the history of the winery and explained each pour, in a down to earth manner that was like we were old friends. We visited on a Sunday, and heard that their "burger Sundays" featured delicious burgers, so we had to give them a try. They definitely lived up to the hype, with thick flavorful Pattie's and what seemed like homemade bread, accompanied by a fresh salad and yummy shoestring potatoes. We left with our favorite bottles from the tasting: oveja, Rose and Bollo. Many thanks to Dana for making our first trip so special, and we look forward to visiting again soon. read more
