Lone Madrone was another place that we stopped by without a booked appointment. We called ahead of time since we were just across the street at Adelaida. They kindly squeezed us in. I mostly came here after hearing that Lone Madrone has the same wine maker as Tablas Creek. Lone Madrone is the winery where the wine maker Neil Collins makes his more "adventerous" wines. Loved everything!!! Neil is a wine genius. I ended up signing up for the wine club and bought 6 bottles to take home. Can't wait to come back. The venue itself is rather small but it has its own homey charm. If you are looking for a winery with a great view, this winery might not be the place to visit...however if you are looking for a winery with amazing tasting wine....come here! read more

Lone Madrone is a favorite winery of ours. Winemaker extraordinaire, Neil Collins, blends old country methods with new technology to produce really excellent wines. A visit to the tasting room is a wonderful opportunity to try wines that are of interest, before you buy. The tasting room staff are very knowledgeable and engaging. The location is beautiful and a lovely place to drink great wine with friends! read more

Love the wines. I am a member and I did the cheese pairing recently. I had an incredibly experience as always. So glad I discovered this gem in a whim and became a member. read more

A breath of fresh air! After having a very disappointing experience at a neighboring winery, we called Lone Madrone to see if they could accommodate a group of seven at the end of the day. They welcomed us! We had already had two previous tastings and decided to just purchase a bottle to recap on the day. The wine was great & our server was so hospitable! read more

The place is nice, clean and the wine is organic. I liked the wine La Obeja Negra. I don't recommend visiting this place if you are Hispanic as you may experience discrimination from the local manager. As for the server Dana, I can only say Nice things about her. I was denied service at first with the excuse of being by reservation only. I saw no sign posted outside their business indicating so. I told the manager that I saw plenty of empty tables. Only then she made the attempt to accommodate me and my family. The wine is good and the place in itself is welcoming. I really hope my perception was a misunderstanding. Good luck to the business, owner and employees. read more

The new Roots Tasting is a must, with delicious small bites from @kitchen46 and hosted by the wonderful Mary!

Lone Madrone out of the Adelaida district in Paso Robles is tucked back on the road as you head into Paso wine country. When you pull up it looks like an old barn but updated and welcoming. I love the wines here and always pleased with the crisp and delicious touches they put into their wines. It goes to note their staff is always friendly and great advocates for the brand as well as sharing the story. Tip - during the summer time they have Burger Sunday's and can come down for some truly delicious burgers and wine. I like a glass of Nebbiolo with a lamb burger while we chill on the patio! Be sure to stop by and have a glass or two while you take it all in? What is your favorite wine here? read more

Beautiful location, great pourer complete with doggie assistant and delicious wines. Their beef burger was out of this world and went really well with the wines they had. My favorites were the Picpoul Blanc and the Zinfandel. The winemaker is the same from Tablas Creek, so it was fun to taste the difference in what he has done in the two contexts. Will definitely be back on a Burger Sunday read more

This was a nice stop along our self-made tour. By the time we stopped here I was starving. They do have a meat and cheese plate but I was hoping for something more substantial. Oh well. We had a nice flight of about 5 or 6 wines for $15 each, but it was waived with two bottles, which we bought. It was two small bars inside, no real tables to speak of or a place to sit as it was crowded. There was some outside seats but nothing inside. The tasting room itself is just a long cooridor with bars on either side. It serves its purpose though I don't think it was my favorite of all the interiors we saw that day. We were able to bring our dogs inside which I really appreciated, and the staff were totally accomodating and friendly. I liked the wines here and would come back again. Friends of our are members so I know we'll be back! read more

We did the Root-to-Stem wine and food pairing in the winery's back room, hosted by Nichole, and had a really great time. The little food bites their chef created definitely exceeded my expectations. We loved it all. It was also educational hearing about the dry farming techniques they employ. And of course, we really enjoyed the wine. Great personalized service, great wine, great food = fun time. read more

We had a fantastic experience at Lone Madrone. We made Sunday lunch reservations as our last stop before leaving Paso Robles. We had a friendly server and shared a tasting. The wine was very good, especially the 2013 Bollo. We also ordered the lamb and beef burger, and they were both absolutely delicious. We were also offered complimentary Cidar tasting which did not disappoint either. I would definitely come back or recommend this little gem to other visitors. read more

Lone Madrone is an absolute gem! Not many places offer French style wines in the Paso area, and they do it so well. Their wines are absolutely delicious, and they offer blends & varietals not often found at other wineries- Chenin Blanc, Tannat, Nebbiolo, etc. If that wasn't enough, the wine tasting room, patios, and views are gorgeous! I have been here many times and it never disappoints. Trust me you won't regret it :) read more

It's always an excellent wine experience at Lone Madrone. The folks that pour really know their wine and tell a great story. And of course there is DJ the sweetest dog who greets you upon arrival. We have been going there for years for their wine and lamb burger by Jeffrey Scott. Today we had the pleasure of trying the polenta and mushrooms. OMG! Fantastic! read more

We haven't visited Lone Madrone in about eight years but decided to revisit based on the recommendation of the winemaker at Kukkula. They have a nice selection of whites and reds that should appease any wine drinker's palate. We brought home a bottle of the Points West White and a bottle of Rose to enjoy as we get closer to warmer temps in summer. The tasting room is spacious and there is quite a lot of outdoor space to enjoy your wines al fresco. The staff at Lone Madrone was welcoming and friendly which enhanced our wine tasting experience. If you are out experiencing Paso Robles wine country you shouldn't miss Lone Madrone. read more

ROOTS TASTING! On our recent visit to Paso Robles, we had an awesome experience at Lone Madrone - they have outdone themselves with their roots tasting! They have perfectly paired their delicious wines with delectable bites from Chef Jeffrey Scott. Each pairing better than the next, bringing out the beauty of the LM wines. Everyone is our group simply loved it! Reasonably priced and tucked away in a private tasting room, this is a must do for those visiting Paso. We would be remiss we didn't mention our host, Nicole, who was took great care of us and was very knowledgeable. read more

It's always a pleasure to visit here. Even better to be members. Still waiting to come and enjoy Lamb Burger Sunday's, but somehow we're always here on Saturday's. Today we enjoyed the La Mezcal Roja, a tasty beautiful Counoise and Cinsault blend that pours like a Pinot Noir with its own special personality. Loved everything we had but this was the standout for this visit. Britta and I think it was Brian (bearded guy working Saturday afternoon) were great. Britta is always awesome and Brian Judy added to the visit with other helpful suggestions. read more

Our favorite in Paso. We joined the club on our first visit and still have not tasted a wine we didn't like. It's been so great to learn about unique varietals that we aren't used to seeing. Their tasting room is great - very dog friendly which is a must for us, and the outdoor areas are wonderful as well. It's a bit off the beaten path but very much worth the visit! read more

Cute little winery with friendly staff, beautiful vineyards, and ample parking. One of many wineries in the area, Lone Madrone still manages to make their winery feel homey and non-commercial, making it stand out in the Paso Robles wine community. Their cab sauvignon is delicious, and I'm so glad I took a bottle home as a gift to others. Will be back. read more

Quaint little vineyard to spend the afternoon with great friends. Their wines are tasty and pours are pretty generous. They also have gorgeous views from nearly al sides of the outdoor tasting room. It's a great place to end your wine tasting for the day. They were hosting an evening event, so at a certain point the servers literally asked us to leave read more

Love this winery! We just tasted all the fall releases and all of them were Exceptional. Fabulous texture and body and taste. Neil Collins knows what he is doing. Tasting room is warm and friendly with a happy Knowledgeable staff. And don't forget to come to Burger Sunday. Excellent lamb burgers, Regular burgers and portobello sandwiches, served up by Chef Jeffery Scott. Dog friendly read more

Great views at this winery. Decor for the tasting room is great. Found wines a little pricey but they were solid. Really glad that I stopped in. Definitely worth a stop if your in the area. read more

Was not a winery we were originally planning on stopping at, but happy we did. There was only one other group so not having a reservation was not a problem. Server was great and very informative and the wine was delicious! Left with two bottles. Happy we decided to stop read more

We have a new favorite spot, joined the wine club and will be back! To start off, we have a new best friend. Mary was amazing, fun, informative and really clicked with our group! Lone Madrone has an amazing employee in her. We met Jackie as well who is also very sweet! The view and atmosphere were gorgeous and they have done a great job adapting to COVID. Now what you all have been waiting for.... the wine. We were in Paso for 4 nights and tasted A LOT of places. If you join the club at every one you would go broke. So how do you pick "the one"? For us the wines are all good, but there is one that just knocks your socks off that you MUST have. All the wines were great at Lone Madrone, some better than others, but the Bello, 100% Nebbiolo? OMG! Can't wait for wine club pick (we may be switching to all Bello! Lol) We did pick up 7 bottles now to hold us over. This wine club worked great for us because it is twice a year and we live in San Diego. We can make it up for that! Thank you for having that perfect wine for us!! read more

We all really enjoyed Lone Madrone. Their winemaker is the same as Tablas Creek, where he stays within the confines of the traditional French wine making practices. However, at Lone Madrone, as the winemaker and an owner, he has free reign to do whatever he pleases with their vino. After experiencing both Tablas Creek and LM, we were by far most pleased with LM, and even went back for a second visit during our weekend trip to Paso. On Friday, we bought bottles. Sunday we returned for gourmet lamb and beef burgers and their wonderfully relaxing outdoor shaded picnic area, surrounded by grape vines. Bryan and Angie signed up for the wine club and we are excited to return with them, hopefully soon. A top favorite was the Points West White, as well as their Von Dog, and Old Hat. We all loved the two bars that open up to the outdoors. The tasting room is in a beautifully restored barn which gives it loads of added charm. Jackie was wonderful and so were the gentleman pouring for us. We all look forward to returning. Cheers! read more

This was by far the worst of the 6 wineries that we visited over the weekend. The pours were incredibly stingy (maybe 1 to 1 1/2 ounces) and the wine was not very good at all. The highlight was the hard cider that we sampled afterwards. I would not recommend this winery at all!! read more

This place was a huge surprise for us. Arrived and we weren't sure due to the parking lot looking unkept. Once seated our server was great she has a little dog following her on a leash. The wine was so delicious we purchased a lot. The lunch was spectacular!! Chicken sandwich and board was amazing. read more

The wines are amazing, and MUST visit when Winetasting in Paso. The Library wines they have are the reason we joined their wine club.

Requires wine tasting at $40 per person to eat lunch! What if you don't drink? Employee: "Sorry we can't serve you food, if you don't purchase a tasting" $80 tasting for a couple & $50 for 2 mushroom burgers = $130 lunch tab Try Aaron Hill across the street....they don't require tastings for lunch. read more

Steve was working when my husband and I arrived. He's wonderful. Cozy little tasting room. The winery is owned by and brother and sister duo. The wine is delish. I mean seriously delish. My fav was the rose'. It is just ridic good. Hands down the best I've tasted. Go and enjoy! read more

Cool western vibe winery. Friendly people and great wines. Enjoyed the grenache blanc, old vine zin and grenache. Can't wait to try them with their burgers. read more

I love Lone Madrone. I enjoy their creativity. They truly make fun wines. I stumbled across this winery on a rainy day when another winery was closed due to a power outage. I guess it was met to be because I've been a wine club member ever since! If you're in Paso I'd try to make an effort to stumble in here. read more

We started our tasting for the day a few miles away from Lone Madrone but soon found that a lot of locals were recommending this place as well as some other travelers we met at the wineries. Once we arrived we were greeted with live music outside and a grill station on the other side of the building. The lady that took our order was extremely friendly and got us on our way to one of the best burgers I've ever had. However, the lady behind her with the backwards hat was pretty abrasive when she was yelling out that they were out of tomatoes. We understand, its hot outside like we might melt but lets just calm down, you signed up to cook there right? The wine was good, we tasted at a table inside so we didn't really get a lot of knowledge on the wine like we did at Tablas. That's our fault though, no harm done on their end! This place was much more inviting I'd say than Tablas. Tablas just reminds me of wineries that market their location and building more than the wine itself. I couldn't recommend this place more, especially if its burger and live music day, I will definitely come back. read more

We had a wonderful wine tasting experience at Lone Madrone! Beautiful location, excellent staff and wonderful wines. As a bonus- we were lucky to do this on a Burger Sunday-- omg such delicious burgers. I got the portobello and my husband got the lamb burger -- both were yummy! read more

Cute spot however the wine tasting experience was fairly poor. Small pours relative to others in the region. The server was extremely disinterested in our table which was probably the main reason we didn't like the experience. Probably never coming back here. read more

Sadly this experience ruined it for us Made reservations for lunch and a tasting. Our server Dana was FABULOUS but it ended there. We came here because we had been before and the wine was good and we knew they served lunch. We were starving and in much need of food to offset the intake of wine we were excited to enjoy wine with a nice meal. When we were sat we told our server that we needed food. She quickly went over and informed the waitress and she the waitress said she was busy and would get to us. We waited patiently and after 45 mins realized the waitress was never going to even address us let alone take an order. At the end of our tasting (after being there 1.5 hours) the waitress made eye contact with us and proceeded then to go to the table to the left and table to the right of us. Unacceptable hospitality. At least be brave and admit you forgot us and apologize. Grade school behavior. Dana apologized profusely and even owned up to the fact that she should have stayed on her. Dana - we would have given 5 stars for. (Hence the 2 stars) to balance out the negative experience. I rarely write reviews - only for exceptional and the opposite. Wish this could have been an exceptional review all around. Love family businesses and love to support them. read more

Great wine, great food, great service, great ambiance. what more can you ask for! Highly recommend the charcuterie board w chicken sandwich.
